 * Symbol question.svg New enough (created by Georgejdorner on 8 February 2018), long enough (10,901 characters "readable prose size"), almost fully referenced (Fokker Dr.I missing a reference), hence C class. Hook not supported by article: it says "seven German airplanes supporting 7th Armee were lost to self-ignition of ammunition during 15 and 16 July", not that all these losses were suffered by JG III. Source same, notes loss of a pilot in Jasta 10. Re-word hook (or choose another one.) (Also: link 7th Army (German Empire)) QPQ required   Hawkeye7   (discuss)  19:11, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Probably a better hook anyhow. And I am off to my "re-cite-al".Georgejdorner (talk) 19:39, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Okay, supplied fresh cites for all aircraft used by the wing, including the Fokker Dr.1. Linked 7th Armee.Georgejdorner (talk) 20:01, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg QPQ done. Good to go with ALT1.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  00:39, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
