GA Review
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.''

Hi there, I am happy to tell you that this article has passed GA without the need for any further improvement. Listed below is information on how the article fared against the good article criteria, with suggestions for future development. These are not required to achieve GA standard, but they might help in future A-class or FAC review process. On a personal note, I realised as I read through this that I had mentioned this action before in an FA I wrote two years ago, Ronald Niel Stuart, who was on Farnborough later, so it was interesting to revisit the material.
 * It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS):
 * Prose, as always, is of a high standard. I do have one suggestion, which is that the very short paragraph that begins "U-9 was laid down on . . ." would look better as the start of the paragraph below it.
 * "sent to sea under a more experienced U-boat captain to gain knowledge" is a little clumsy, mainly the word "knowledge". Experience is taken, but perhaps "knowledge of submarine warfare" might improve the phrasing?


 * It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * a (fair representation): b (all significant views):
 * It is stable.
 * It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.
 * a (tagged and captioned): b (lack of images does not in itself exclude GA):  c (non-free images have fair use rationales):
 * Obviously an image would be nice should you get hold of one. (Also, I don't know if you are aware, but the German national archives uploaded 10,000 free-use images to Wikimedia Commons the other week, which apparently include a number of First World War pictures and might be a fertile place to search for this kind of image).--Jackyd101 (talk) 23:52, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Thankyou and congratulations, an excellent addition to Wikipedia:Good Articles. All the best.--Jackyd101 (talk) 23:52, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
