 * GA review (see here for criteria) (see here for this contributor's history of GA reviews)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written:
 * No problem with dab links, dup links or external links. As in the other article, copyvio tool returns yellow here. Unless there's some significant different between this one and U-335, I would think you can rewrite the design section and just place it in both articles and note any substantial difference.
 * Rewritten, only a 4.8% match now. L293D (☎ • ✎) 03:31, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable:
 * Source Spotcheck Refs 2, 3 and 4 all back up info cited in the article.
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage:
 * Not Yet
 * Ref 1 is returning a Harv error
 * Fixed by someone else. L293D (☎ • ✎) 03:31, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
 * As in the other article, infobox mentions mines but not in the prose. And crew complement needs to be added to the infobox.
 * Added. <b style="color:#060">L293D</b> (<b style="color:#000">☎</b> • <b style="color:#000">✎</b>) 03:31, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
 * The "Wolfpacks" section can be merged into 1st Patrol, since they essentially contain the same material. What is a wolf pack and what did they do during these missions? These details can expand this section as well.
 * Done, merged. There's a link to Wolfpack (naval tactic), which I feel is sufficient. <b style="color:#060">L293D</b> (<b style="color:#000">☎</b> • <b style="color:#000">✎</b>) 03:31, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Were any ships sighted on the patrols? Any unsuccessful targets that could be mentioned?
 * Unfortunately, I don't have access to much info about unsuccesful sightings, but I've added what I could in the first patrol. <b style="color:#060">L293D</b> (<b style="color:#000">☎</b> • <b style="color:#000">✎</b>) 03:31, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
 * This book, also mentioned in the other review, has a few mentions of U-301 and might be good addition for U-boat strategy at the time to explain how she was employed as well as a few extra details on the loss:
 * Added some content from the book. <b style="color:#060">L293D</b> (<b style="color:#000">☎</b> • <b style="color:#000">✎</b>) 03:31, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Was the wreck ever located?
 * Very probably not, it would be mentioned at u-boat.net. But I've done a search and haven't found anything. <b style="color:#060">L293D</b> (<b style="color:#000">☎</b> • <b style="color:#000">✎</b>) 03:31, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy:
 * Pass No problems there.
 * 1) It is stable:
 * Pass No problems there.
 * 1) It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate:
 * Pass Image tagged PD where appropriate.
 * 1) Other:
 * On Hold Pending a few suggestions for expansion. —<b style="color:black">Ed!</b><b style="color:black">(talk)</b> 17:14, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
 * see if my changes are satisfactory. <b style="color:#060">L293D</b> (<b style="color:#000">☎</b> • <b style="color:#000">✎</b>) 03:31, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Holding pending the outcome of this discussion about use of uboat.net. —<b style="color:black">Ed!</b><b style="color:black">(talk)</b> 15:10, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
 * what do you think now? The result of the discussion as I see it is that uboat.net shouldn't be used as only source, and I've added as many book sources as I find. <b style="color:#060">L293D</b> (<b style="color:#000">☎</b> • <b style="color:#000">✎</b>) 15:23, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
 * This is sufficient, IMO. If someone has a challenge about a specific point or fact in the article cited to uboat.net, they can bring it up on the talk page, with these new sources I feel you've largely double-refed anything major. Last request; if you could standardize the footnotes in and  templates as appropriate, currently they're in a mix of formats. —<b style="color:black">Ed!</b><b style="color:black">(talk)</b> 20:11, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Done, sorry for the delay. <b style="color:#060">L293D</b> (<b style="color:#000">☎</b> • <b style="color:#000">✎</b>) 18:41, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

Pass With all this said and done, I think the article passes GA now. Well done! —<b style="color:black">Ed!</b><b style="color:black">(talk)</b> 01:28, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
