Specific concerns

  • I'm assuming no pictures are available, correct?
    • There's a fair use picture of sister boat U-27 at launch which is used in SM U-27 (Austria-Hungary) and the class article already. I'm always hesitant to use a fair use picture too many times, but could add it if you think it all right. — Bellhalla (talk) 20:28, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • Nah, I was more asking. I think a pic of a sister ship is a bit of a reach for fair use here. Sometimes you just can't find pics. Ealdgyth - Talk 20:33, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Source for the last parts of the third paragraph of "service career"?
    • It was the Imperial and Royal Navy Association work. (I had unintentionally omitted the citation.)
  • What makes http://uboat.net/wwi/ a reliable source?
    • I initially had the same concerns about citing Uboat.net until I did a search for other works that have cited the website. I came up with the following through Google Books, listing only those where I could see an actual citation:

    • There are probably more that are not visible via "Limited Preview" at Google Books. Most appear to be from major or academic publishers. Some of the books have multiple editions; one has 23 different editions. — Bellhalla (talk) 20:28, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Heh. It'll do for GA. FA, more up in the air. Ealdgyth - Talk 20:33, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Your retrieved on dates for the web sources are borked. I tried fixing them but they looked worse after my fix... so if you could fix them so they show the day and month as well as the year?
    • Fixed. That retrieval date problem is from updates to {{cite web}} (and other templates that use it). MelonBot is making rounds fixing these when they show up (usually after an edit or a purge of a page). — Bellhalla (talk) 20:28, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I've put the article on hold for seven days to allow folks to address the issues I've brought up. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, or here with any concerns, and let me know one of those places when the issues have been addressed. If I may suggest that you strike out, check mark, or otherwise mark the items I've detailed, that will make it possible for me to see what's been addressed, and you can keep track of what's been done and what still needs to be worked on.
