SM U-68

 * Nominator(s): Bellhalla (talk)

This is a short (but hopefully sweet) article about a German submarine that was sunk six days into its first patrol. It has passed a GA review and I believe that it meets the A-Class requirements. — Bellhalla (talk) 23:51, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Comments No problems reported with dab or external links. Well done. TomStar81 (Talk) 05:29, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Comments - (this version)
 * "The report found that Güntzel had done just about everything wrong."
 * To me, this sentence sounds ... not encyclopedic. (Do you get what I am trying to say? I can't think of the right word...)
 * 38 men were killed when the sub went down - but the "complement" in the infobox says 36. Question mark?
 * References and sources look good. — Ed 17  (Talk /  Contribs)  07:48, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review. Yes, in retrospect, that sentence sounded very colloquial, so I have rewritten to sound more encyclopedic. As far as the 36/38 question, I'm not sure why the discrepancy. The 36 comes from Conway's and is the figure for all of the Type U 66 boats, while the 38 comes from the account of U-68's sinking. I've noted the inconsistency in the infobox. — Bellhalla (talk) 13:56, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Looks good. Supporting now. — Ed 17  (Talk /  Contribs)  21:08, 8 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Support. Short, but then again, when she didn't do much, there's not much to say. – Joe N  utter  02:22, 18 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Support. I assume there's no image you could use under a fair use license?  I shortened the intro  because the article is so short.  If you don't agree with the new intro, please feel free to revert, it won't bother me.  Anyway, good job, as usual, with the article. Cla68 (talk) 06:44, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I've never seen a picture (or even a sketch) of any of the U-66-class subs anywhere, fair use or free. Maybe one (if any?) from the German Fed. Archives will be loaded to Commons soon? I can hope, at least… The intro looks fine. My spouse tells me that I'm very often too wordy, so finding out the intro is too long is hardly surprising ;) — Bellhalla (talk) 12:56, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Support for the serial production of uboat-articles. Wandalstouring (talk) 15:11, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
