GAN Quicksheet 1.23 SM (Criteria)

Starting comments:

I don't really see myself getting into MilHist GAN reviews in the longer term because I really don't have any familiarity with any of this. It is the cup though, so I'm taking it as an excuse for trying new things.

1. Well written:
 * a. prose/copyright: Pictogram voting delete.svg
 * - "On 14 October, Emden participated in an operation to clear the Kassar Wiek of Russian naval forces." - Consider instead "On 14 October, Emden participated in an operation to clear the Kassar Wiek, a XXXXX, of Russian naval forces.". This would unnecessary if there was an article on the Kassar Weik, but since there isn't, and because that one isn't particularly self explanatory, I'd be nice if you made this change.
 * That's a good point - added a description of what it is. Parsecboy (talk) 12:24, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
 * b. MoS compliance: Pictogram resolved.svg

2. Accurate and verifiable:
 * a. provides references: Pictogram resolved.svg
 * - I don't own any of these books, but with your volume of work, if you were up to something dirty I'd think someone would have caught you a long time ago. Therefore I'm not that worried that I can't see the sources.
 * 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
 * b. focused/on topic: Pictogram resolved.svg

4. Neutral: 

5. Stable: 

6. Image use: 
 * a. license/tagging correct: Pictogram resolved.svg
 * 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 resolved.svg
 * - The image probably dosen't need one.
 * b. general catch all and aesthetics: Pictogram resolved.svg

Comments after the initial review:

It's almost scary how little work was needed on this one. Truly you've ironed out the kinks. This is very close to getting the green button, and you my peas award; there's just one thing in 1a.  S ven M anguard  Wha?  22:20, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

PROMOTED You fixed the one issue that needed fixing, so this is good to go.  S ven M anguard  Wha?  22:20, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
