GAN Quicksheet 1.23 SM (Criteria)

Starting comments: Wait, I know that guy!

1. Well written: 
 * a. prose/copyright: Pictogram resolved.svg
 * b. MoS compliance: Pictogram resolved.svg

2. Accurate and verifiable: As your sourcing is based off of eight physical books, none of which I own, I'm going on good faith that there is no close paraphrasing. I take comfort in that your little group over at MilHist has been reviewing each other's work long enough that if there were shenanigans, they'd have been flushed out by now. 
 * a. provides references: Pictogram resolved.svg
 * b. proper citation use: Pictogram resolved.svg
 * c. no original research: Pictogram resolved.svg

3. Broad in coverage: 
 * a. covers main aspects: Pictogram resolved.svg Ideally I'd have liked for there to be a bit more about each of the two ships, however since they both have their own articles, this isn't a big deal at all.
 * b. focused/on topic: Pictogram resolved.svg

4. Neutral:

5. Stable:

6. Image use: 
 * a. license/tagging correct: Pictogram resolved.svg USS Indianapolis at Mare Island.jpg doesn't have the information in the standard template, but it does have all the required information, so it's good.
 * b. relevant/properly captioned: Pictogram resolved.svg

7. Additional items not required for a GA, but requested by the reviewer:
 * a. images that should have alt texts have them: Pictogram voting delete.svg I don't ever expect there to be alt-text when I do these, it's not something that anyone ever really thinks about, however it is something that's nice to do. If you're going for a GT/FT, you'll need to do it eventually, too.
 * b. general catch all and aesthetics: Pictogram resolved.svg

Comments after the initial review: I cannot, in good faith, hold this up because of an issue that isn't in the actual criteria. I can however leave you a pestering message on your user talk page when I'm done promoting this. I think that's the route I'll take. Top notch work. This is a GA.
