SMS Braunschweig

 * Nominator(s): 

Another one of my German battleship articles (we're nearing the end!) up for A-class review. This ship saw action in World War I at the Battle of the Gulf of Riga, but otherwise had a fairly quiet career that spanned almost 30 years (in the Imperial and Weimar navies). As always, thanks to those who review the article! Parsecboy (talk) 13:27, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Thanks for letting me know.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 01:57, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Break out propulsion and power sections with appropriate links in the infobox. And tell readers that they're steam engines. And add boilers with links.

 * Done
 * is information available on the positioning of the TTs?

 * the max and min belt armour differs between the body and infobox
 * Fixed
 * her range isn't provided or cited in the body
 * Added to the body
 * "named for the Duchy
 * Good catch

 * Done
 * "That yea h r"
 * Sturm got that
 * Ehrhard Schmidt should probably be just Schmidt on second occasion, per WP:SURNAME
 * Fixed
 * repetition "in the Baltic, owing to the threat from submarines in the Baltic" Trim?
 * Fixed
 * image review all ok, except for File:SMS Braunschweig NH 47693.tiff, which should probably have the NHHC tag
 * Done
 * Thanks, Peacemaker! Parsecboy (talk) 18:34, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

G'day, Nate, nice work. I have the following suggestions: AustralianRupert (talk) 13:50, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
 * "1921–22" --> "1921–1922" per WP:DATERANGE (in lead and postwar career section)
 * Fixed
 * "File:134 Kong Haakon VII forladende Tysk Panserskib Braunschweig - no-nb digifoto 20160209 00511 bldsa PK15135.jpg": would probably look more visually appealing if the border was cropped
 * Good idea - done
 * the infobox says the ship was scrapped in 1932, but I couldn't find 1932 mentioned specifically as the date in the article
 * Removed the year
 * Citation # 26 "Polmar & Noot, p. 44–45" --> "Polmar & Noot, pp. 44–45"
 * Good catch
 * the second entry (Gardiner) in the Further reading section is probably not necessary as it is already in the References
 * Fixed
 * there is a slight inconsistency in the hyphenation of the ISBN for the Dodson work (when compared to the other ISBNs)
 * Fixed. Thanks! Parsecboy (talk) 14:56, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
