GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria


 * 1) Is it reasonably well written?
 * A. Prose quality:
 * B. MoS compliance:
 * Why does the infobox list metric tons first for the displacement but the body gives long tons? Also, it should be metric tons, not tonnes, to fit with American English. Parsecboy (talk) 16:42, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Fixed
 * 1) Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
 * A. References to sources:
 * B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
 * C. No original research:
 * 1) Is it broad in its coverage?
 * A. Major aspects:
 * Might be worth noting in the first body para that the Soviet Union wasn't a member of the Washington conference. Parsecboy (talk) 16:42, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Done
 * B. Focused:
 * 1) Is it neutral?
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) Is it stable?
 * No edit wars, etc:
 * 1) Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
 * A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
 * The recon photo is clearly not a work of the US Navy, as it's stated to be a Luftwaffe recon photo. This needs to be cleared up. Parsecboy (talk) 16:42, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass or Fail:
 * The main thing is the recon photo. I know there's something about wartime KM photos being PD in the United States because they're deemed war booty or something like that. Ask Ed, I seem to think he knows about it from the Design 1047 article. Parsecboy (talk) 16:42, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi guys, the NHHC asserts that all of their photos, to the best of their knowledge, are PD. This includes all of the "wartime loot" seized from Japan and Germany. However, the photos taken from the latter are not PD in Germany because of their copyright laws. My workaround to this was to upload the photo here on en (because Commons requires that all photos be free in the US and their home country) and tag it with PD-US and Do not move to Commons. I also included a link to http://www.history.navy.mil/branches/org11-4.htm, which shows the NHHC's position on the copyright status of their photos. — Ed   (talk  •  majestic titan)  18:31, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Alright, I'm satisfied. Excellent work on this article, Sturm. Now you just need to bang out the list article and you'll have the Russian BCs complete, at least as far as a GT goes. Parsecboy (talk) 21:30, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
