GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria


 * 1) Is it reasonably well written?
 * A. Prose quality:
 * B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:
 * 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:
 * Is any better info available on horsepower or speed? I'm very surprised that nominal hp is provided rather than indicated hp at the date of the ship's construction.
 * The only source I've found for horsepower is the cited Lloyd's Register entry, which gives nhp. As for her speed, I'd love to put that in, but have been unable to find a source for it. Mjroots (talk) 16:23, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Found the speed. It was at Miramar all along. Just forgot to add it. Manxruler (talk) 18:43, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Curious that Lloyd's still used nhp at that date, but I guess it's consistent with earlier practices.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:00, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

 * 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:
 * B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
 * No pictures available? Even NFU?
 * There is an image of a ship named Alster on Photoship. However, there were at least two ships with this name and I cannot be certain that this is "our" Alster. In general, I don't like using non-free ship images in articles I write - it would be too easy to flood Wikipedia with such images, which would not necessarily be a good thing. I am open to using NFU images if it can be justified, but can't see a good case for one here. I'm content to link externally to an image where these are availabe. Of course, if there is an available image to use, then it will get used. I don't think that an image is required in this article - i.e., a reader isn't going to be really missing anything by the absence of an image. Mjroots (talk) 16:23, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Pictures are nice if you can find them, but not required.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:00, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Since confirmed that the photo is the ship in question. Added as an external link. Mjroots (talk) 21:22, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
