163:*Third: in section advance of 23 April... you have this text: "... and made good their escape." This seems jargonish to me, or at least in the realm of colloquial wording. they escaped? or simply and escaped? In another part of the same section: "Temporary repairs were conducted that allowed the ship to steam at 4 knots, but it was decided to take the ship under tow, by the battleship Oldenburg." VERY passive. Possibly: "Although temporary repairs allowed the ship to steam at 4 knots, the Oldenburg took the ship under tow."? 132:
will help me iron out the last few details. I know this article may run into some opposition because it's fairly short (only 14kb, including the infobox et al.), but remember that size is not a requirement to FAC, comprehensiveness, and this article is pretty solid in that regard. Thanks in advance to all reviewers.

only served for two years. The only possible problem I see is in the lead; do you have/need a citation for "named in honor of Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg, the victor of the Battle of Tannenberg and the Battle of the Masurian Lakes, as well as Supreme Commander of the German armies from 1916."?
260:
Although this is a short article, it is line with the requirements of the featured articles. It is well written, interesting, informative, and represents a neutral point of view. It covers the "state-of-knowledge" as we know it about this type of warship and this particular ship. It is part of a

was only in commission for little more than a year and a half before she was interned at Scapa Flow and scuttled. This article passed GA and MILHIST A-class review over the past two months, and is part of a Good Topic. I feel the article is close to FA criteria, and the reviews that will occur here

is a bit mundane, so I'm thinking we might come up with something more in the central--that's me, the middle of the road, with all the road kill. As to the dates, Tony posted that it was "consider" but not "required"... I was suggesting that it only go between the loose numbers and the next word

for advice. There is alt text for the schematics image, so I don't know why it isn't showing up for you. I fixed the two prose issues you pointed out in the third comment. As to the "Later operations" part, I think "Proposed death ride" is a bit dramatic :) I'd be open to other suggestions though
1078:
Hmm...I usually prefer to keep images at the default size. There are many editors (such as myself) who have set preference sizes, and I'd rather not force someone with a 13" monitor to see everything at 300px. The way I see it, if someone feels the image is too small, can't they just click the

use American spellings because it participated in the attack on Pearl Harbor or should it use British spellings because it took part in the raid into the Indian ocean in 1942, during which it sank several Commonwealth ships? That and trying to remember all the variations is a hassle I can do
1001:"On 12 December, four German destroyers ambushed a second convoy consisting of five cargo vessels and two British destroyers." Unsure, but can this be "On 12 December, four German destroyers ambushed a second British convoy of five cargo vessels and two British destroyers."? (Two changes.) 553:"were acting as distant support for German minesweepers off the German coast when they were attacked by British battlecruisers" is ambiguous. Clarify that it was the minesweepers which were attacked. Is it known which British battlecruisers were involved? 419:
and look up your book title. Make sure you find the same edition that you used in the article; and scroll down to the detail section. The number is listed there. If you put in your zip code it will show what libraries nearest you have a copy.
150:. This is a very good article. I reviewed it at the Good Article stage, and it has improved in the intervening weeks. There are a couple of issues that weren't worth bringing up at Good article review but should be brought up here. 952:
I hadn't thought of that, but I'm sure there are plenty of biographies of Hindenburg around, so I can track down a citation for that. It'll have to wait until tomorrow though. Thanks for copyediting the article, Ed.
692:"It was later discovered that the convoy had sailed the following day" seems awkward how about "It was later discovered that the convoy had left port a day later than expected by the German planning staff". 91: 154:
First: I've been told that the nbsp syntax needs to be inserted after all "loose" numbers (numbers without something after them). If this is the case, you'll need to add it with your dates.
207: 1034:
I'd say it's a bit of a stretch to say a German warship has "strong national ties" to British English, on the basis that the ship fought the Royal Navy. For instance, should

I added a "for further information" link at the top of the section; I don't want to duplicate too much in this article, besides what set her apart from her sisterships.

First section opens: "Built ... Built." Maybe the second one could simply be removed? Or a replacement word such as "Designed" or "Conceived" or "Planned"?
189:
Another example of some fine work. Very nice. A pleasure to read, even for someone not particularly versed in the finer points of nautical warfare.
30: 17: 778:"The massive flotilla consisted of some 370 British, American, and French warships." What about the German ones? How many of those were there? 1057: 1056:
We couldn't have a larger pic of the scuttling, could we? It's widely felt that WP's thumbnail default is outrageously tiny. Please see
574:"Six days later," suggests that this sentence and the previous one are causally linked in some way although there appears to none. 540:
I think most readers would think "action" to be synonymous with "combat", so it might be worth modifying - perhaps to "operation"
496:
Why was she faster than the earlier ships and by how much? Was the steaming speed, a sustained speed or a maximum, short sprint?

508:- the steaming speed was a sustainable rate (remember, the ship could steam at 26.6 knots, which would be the "sprint") 112: 318:
Would it be better to eliminate the "Service" section making WWI a second level and change the others to third level?
973:
Very nice work again by Legolas. The prose is excellent, the stories engaging and the linking skilfully handled.
985:"British naval intelligence believed"—were they correct or incorrect in that belief? I guess we find out later. 802:"maneuvers" should be "manoeuvres" for consistency with other British spellings and European setting of article. 449:
Formatting of "Drh.L C/1912" and "DrhLC/1913" is inconsistent. It's also presented as "DrhLC/1912" in Note 2.

the design was altered, but I have added the specific measurements for length and displacement.

Thanks, Auntieruth. I've never heard of using non-breaking spaces for dates before, so I asked

Thanks, I fixed the first two things you pointed out, but I don't know much about OCLCs, so I
326: 262: 241: 190: 619:
I'd say it's notable in that it was the only offensive operation in which the ship took part.
823: 459:
Perhaps explain why the higher angle of inclination of the later turrets gave greater range.

340: 212: 133: 74: 64: 1098: 930: 732: 635:
Do we know which German and British Destroyers were involved in December 1917 action?
381: 355: 296: 160:
there alt text on the schematics? or is there simply not a caption of the schematics?

I added a note explaining that angle of fire and range are directly proportional.
666: 277: 1061: 659:
I added "numerically superior" to qualify the Grand Fleet; is that sufficient?
749:. Did she stay in Wilhelmshaven when the fleet was dispersed or go elsewhere. 315:
You need convert templates on knots (mph and kph) and the 25000 tons of coal.
156:*Second: It doesn't look like the alt text on the schematics is showing up. 1015: 789: 537:
I meant "action" as in any activity, not just combat. Should I change that?
682:"kilometers" should be "kilometres" for consistency with metres in infobox. 889:
Were any of the officers or crew notable? Do we know who the captain was?
988:
Turns out it was due to labor shortages; I've added this to the article.
519:
There's a degree of repetition with the previous section on dates here.

Do we know which British destroyers were sunk in the October action?
