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


 * 1) It is reasonably well written:
 * Pass External links, dup links and dab links look good. Copyvio detector returns green.
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable:
 * Not Yet
 * There's a relative reliance on Uboat.net which leads to an under-detailing of some parts. Some additional sourced I've found to add:
 * adds more detail to war patrols;
 * Only two pages mention Sahib during her war period, one of which is probably and error: on 1 July 1943, Sahib was already sunk and thus could not land commands in Sardinia. L293D (☎ • ✎) 19:22, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
 * notes the crew was commended for sinking U-301
 * Added what I could, but the book only says that Lieutenant Fraser was commended, not the whole crew. L293D (☎ • ✎) 19:22, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
 * This book has more details on the sinking per above comment:
 * Added. <b style="color:#060">L293D</b> (<b style="color:#000">☎</b> • <b style="color:#000">✎</b>) 19:22, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage:
 * Not Yet
 * The infobox data on ship speed is inconsistent with the speed data in the prose.
 * Fixed. <b style="color:#060">L293D</b> (<b style="color:#000">☎</b> • <b style="color:#000">✎</b>) 19:22, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Prose also mentions mines, if they could be added to armament in the infobox.
 * As said in a previous review, the expendable armament such as the number of torpedoes, mines, shells, and machine gun rounds is generally not mentioned in the infobox. <b style="color:#060">L293D</b> (<b style="color:#000">☎</b> • <b style="color:#000">✎</b>) 19:22, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Her namesake should be mentioned.
 * Added, I think Merriam-webster.com is a RS. <b style="color:#060">L293D</b> (<b style="color:#000">☎</b> • <b style="color:#000">✎</b>) 19:22, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
 * The "Malta" section needs to be expanded with the aftermath of the sinking of the Scillin and its aftermath, as it's an incident that will likely drive a lot of non-Naval historian traffic to the article. That page has some details for a start, but talk about the inquiry of the captain and the subsequent secrecy of the event.
 * Sure, but the content on SS Scillin is sourced to a BBC blog and this, which I consider unreliable. A google books search was not turned up anything else than a book about retirement, which mentioned Scillin. <b style="color:#060">L293D</b> (<b style="color:#000">☎</b> • <b style="color:#000">✎</b>) 19:22, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Sounds good, I think you've got what we can get on that part for now. Would be glad to see it expanded some day but the sources have to be there, and I think this is plenty for GA. —<b style="color:black">Ed!</b><b style="color:black">(talk)</b> 00:39, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
 * "Algiers" section: Since Finale, Italy doesn't have a link, is there somewhere close to it that can be linked?
 * Linked. <b style="color:#060">L293D</b> (<b style="color:#000">☎</b> • <b style="color:#000">✎</b>) 19:22, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Any other commanders than the one listed when the ship was launched?
 * Nope. <b style="color:#060">L293D</b> (<b style="color:#000">☎</b> • <b style="color:#000">✎</b>) 19:22, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Last patrol: What was the effect of the depth charges? What on the ship was damaged to cause it to be forced to surface?
 * Added. <b style="color:#060">L293D</b> (<b style="color:#000">☎</b> • <b style="color:#000">✎</b>) 19:22, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
 * How many of the crew returned home after the war?
 * Partially added. <b style="color:#060">L293D</b> (<b style="color:#000">☎</b> • <b style="color:#000">✎</b>) 19:22, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Where's the wreck? Has it been located?
 * Probably not, though I have no source saying that the wreck was not found. <b style="color:#060">L293D</b> (<b style="color:#000">☎</b> • <b style="color:#000">✎</b>) 19:22, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy:
 * Pass No problems there, though per above more diversity of referencing needed.
 * 1) It is stable:
 * Pass No problems there.
 * 1) It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate:
 * Pass Images tagged PD as appropriate.
 * 1) Other:
 * On Hold Pending a few fixes. —<b style="color:black">Ed!</b><b style="color:black">(talk)</b> 14:38, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
 * done most points, what do you think now? <b style="color:#060">L293D</b> (<b style="color:#000">☎</b> • <b style="color:#000">✎</b>) 19:22, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

OK, so all of the additions are bringing it in line with the GA criteria, I'm thinking. Going to Pass at this point. Thanks for your responsiveness! —<b style="color:black">Ed!</b><b style="color:black">(talk)</b> 00:39, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
