Yugoslav submarine Osvetnik (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Toolbox

Osvetnik was a French-made submarine built for the Royal Yugoslav Navy in 1929. She was captured by the Italians during the Axis invasion of Yugoslavia in April 1941 and used by them as a training and experimentation boat until the Italian surrender in September 1943, when she was scuttled off Corsica.

Support: I have the following observations/suggestions: AustralianRupert (talk) 05:45, 31 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • "Simonot design": I wonder if this could be linked or explained somehow
  • "1929–1941" --> "1929–41"
  • "1941–1943" --> 1941–43"
  • the infobox conversions seem slightly different to the body of the article in places, e.g. "surfaced draught of 3.8 m (12 ft 6 in)" v. "Draught: 3.8 m (12 ft)"
  • "14 January 1929": appears in the infobox, but not in the body of the article
  • "17 April 1941": same as above
  • there is a mixture of US and British English spelling variation, for instance "maneuvers" (US) but also "metres" (British)
  • "On 14 September 1943, she was captured by the Germans at Bonifacio at..." (the Italian surrender is not mentioned here, but appears in the lead)
  • Beyond this, I believe it meets the A-class criteria. Good work, as usual. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 05:45, 31 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support
    • Tool checks all report no issues (i.e. no dabs, no dead links, no duplicate wikilinks, image has alt text etc).
    • I assume the sources don't expand on M. Simonot's full name but if they do I'd suggest adding it.
    • "Still in good condition, she was taken as war booty, and initially designated N1..." by whom? I'm assuming Regia Marina from what is written in the lead but it might need to be written here to be clear.
    • Otherwise I couldn't see any issues from reading through it. Coverage seems sufficient to me given limited service etc. Anotherclown (talk) 01:17, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • The sources only refer to him as M. Simonot, or Chief Engineer Simonot. Have added the suggestion re: Regia Marina. Thanks for the review, Ac! Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 07:47, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        • Regarding Simonot, I did a bit of digging and I believe his first initial was actually "G" with the "M" above standing for Monsieur, per [1] and [2]. Not sure if this helps or not. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 11:57, 21 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comments Support

This looks very good albeit brief. A few comments:

  • add range/radius of action to infobox?
  • wikilink Bajamonti-class submarines? Someone may well create the page in the future.
  • Did the flotilla have a formal name eg. 1st Submarine Flotilla? Was the Navy even big enough to have more than one?

Otherwise looks good for A-Class. Cheers. Zawed (talk) 10:03, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review, Zawed! All addressed. These are my edits. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 06:04, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Looking good, have added my support. Cheers. Zawed (talk) 05:01, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nikkimaria, would you mind doing an image review on the pic used in this and the sister boat and class articles (all at ACR at present). I believe they are PD-UK-unknown, but have added NFRs for use on the three articles. Thanks, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:11, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
