I will review this article for GAN shortly. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 03:41, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

Comments: G'day, this looks pretty good to me. I just have a few minor observations/comments: AustralianRupert (talk) 05:35, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

• suggest mentioning that it was part of the Bristol sub class in the lead
• is the complement of 410 mentioned in the body?
  • <chagrined>It is now.
• A German supply ship was already there and radioed Spee: has Spee been introduced at this point?
  • He is now.</chagrin>
• southeasterly: "south-easterly"?
• dueled: "duelled"?
• manoeuvered: "manoeuvred"
• before she scuttled herself: perhaps "before she was scuttled" or "before being scuttled"?
• in the first paragraph of the Subsequent activities section, do we know what the ship did between February 1916 and 14 October 1916? The narrative seems to jump after the ship sails for the South American coast in February to October when it arrives back in Simon's Town.
  • More of the same, really, but now explicitly stated.
• in the second paragraph of the Subsequent activities section, do we know what happened between January 1917 and 1918?
  • Not with any certainty as that logbook hasn't been transcribed.
• are there any details on actions/roles between July and October 1918?
  • No. British activity in the Adriatic is particularly poorly documented.
    • No worries, hopefully one day that will be rectified. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 05:57, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
• Gibraltar on 30 January: perhaps add the year here
  • The year is mentioned in the previous sentence.
    • So it is, sorry. AustralianRupert (talk) 05:57, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
• in the Citations: "Friedman, p. 411" --> 2010 or 2011?
• in the Bibliography: "HMS GLASGOW - March": decaps per MOS:ALLCAPS and add an endash
• in the Bibliography: Halpern is listed, but it doesn't appear to be used as a citation -- maybe move it to a Further reading section?
• Ext links all work (no action required)
• no dabs or dup links identified (no action required)
• "File:SMS Leipzig sinking.jpg": needs a US licence in addition to the current one
  • Thanks for your typically thorough review. See if my changes suit.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:08, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
    • No worries, the article looks good. Thanks for your efforts. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 05:57, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
