List of armored cruisers of Germany

 * Nominator(s): Parsecboy (talk) 10:23, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

This is my third list, based on List of battlecruisers of Germany and List of battleships of Germany, both FLs. This article will be the main article for a GT/FT on the armored cruisers built (see here). It has passed a MILHIST A-class review, which can be found here. I look forward to working with reviewers to ensure that this article meets the criteria for Featured List. Thanks in advance to all those who take the time to review the nomination.

Comment: Naval historian Hugh Lyon remarked that the armored cruisers built by Germany were the "worst designed and least battle-worthy ships" in the navy - The German navy? Just wondering since the comment was made by a foreign historian. 122.255.43.250 (talk) 09:55, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment as mentioned in the A-Class review I find it better if either you mention all the namesakes or leave them out. To mention some is not uniform. MisterBee1966 (talk) 05:55, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I would like to see in a footnote that the Germans were referring to these ships as Panzerkreuzer or Großer Kreuzer. MisterBee1966 (talk) 05:59, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
 * check the alt text. It is missing for most images MisterBee1966 (talk) 07:09, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
 * the link to Memel needs a disambig fix MisterBee1966 (talk) 07:10, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I've been thinking about this for a little while, and have decided that namesake information is probably a little too much detail for a list like this. I added the note and fixed the dab (thanks, btw, for fixing the note - I had gone back and forth on whether it should be plural to match "armored cruisers" and decided to make it singular, but apparently didn't change it all back).

 * Yes, the German navy - do you have any suggestions on how that might be made clearer? Parsecboy (talk) 02:46, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Support
 * Alt text is not required.
 * No, not required, but always better if it's there than if it's not. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:53, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
 * You could add "|lk=on" to the templates to link the units in case anyone was wondering what they were.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 01:25, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
