 * Symbol confirmed.svg Seems fine. I added some wikilinks, and it could perhaps use some more. It is important to remember that redlinks are not an embarrassment, they are important to encourage article creation. Abductive  (reasoning) 05:27, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg you should provide a review that explicitly confirms that the five main DYK criteria have been met. An optional Reviewer's Template is located above the edit window. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 18:09, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I thought that was taken care of by the green check mark. Abductive  (reasoning) 02:37, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
 * pinging . L293D (☎ • ✎) 23:31, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
 * the green check mark is a sign to other editors about the status of the review. Please see the DYK Reviewing Guide, especially the line under "Finishing the review": After posting the icon, indicate all aspects of the article that you have reviewed. Thank you, Yoninah (talk) 16:28, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
 * BTW the QPQ is not an adequate review, and I have tagged it as such. Yoninah (talk) 16:29, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article length and age are fine, no copyvio or plagiarism concerns, reliable sources are used. Abductive  (reasoning) 19:45, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg thank you, but as I said above, the QPQ does not meet the review requirements. Please keep an eye on that review and when it's finished, you can restore the tick here. Yoninah (talk) 20:04, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I followed the instructions exactly. I even copy-pasted the recommended text. Abductive  (reasoning) 21:14, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, you did. But there are five main criteria to check, and one is that the QPQ was done properly. So far, not. Yoninah (talk) 00:22, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Oh, his QPQ. Abductive  (reasoning) 03:10, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
 * QPQ fixed now. L293D (☎ • ✎) 03:14, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, the QPQ has now been completed satisfactorily. However, before restoring the tick for this nomination, I'd like to note that the hook fact needs an inline cite, right after the sentence in which it appears. Yoninah (talk) 22:27, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
 * The second part of the hook has been cited, but the first part has not. Meanwhile, the lead says the ship was "confiscated by the French government while still under construction", while the body says it was "completed for the French navy". These are two different things. Please provide cites for both, or make the wording consistent and cite that. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 22:59, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Changes and citations added. Offline hook refs AGF and cited inline. The following hook wording is approved:
 * ALT1a: ... that when the O'Byrne-class submarines (pictured) were seized by France before their sale to Romania, the Romanian Navy had to wait 15 more years to get its first submarine? Yoninah (talk) 00:02, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Of course if used on the 11 Nov set it will not be pictured. &mdash; Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 00:17, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
