German destroyer Z39[edit]

Nominator(s): Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 18:38, 16 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about a German destroyer that served during World War Two. This is the second review of the article, as previously it had issues with context, which I believe have now been resolved. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 18:38, 16 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Again, as per the coin article, below – is this a sources review? Brianboulton (talk) 21:24, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hey, what happened? Several sources in the "Books" section are now not cited in the article. Did people add new sources, or remove cites? Either way, either delete them or move them into "Further reading" or whatever... Friedman, Norman (2014); Grooss, Poul (2017); Haslop, Dennis (2013); O'Brien, Phillips Payson (2015); Zaloga, Steven J. (2011).
  •  Done
  • Also, Stern, Robert C. (2015) needs a location. Lingzhi ♦ (talk) 11:52, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment An issue I noted in my informal review of this article was my concern over the statement that this class of ships had comparable equivalent to a British light cruiser. While the source given is of a high standard, it doesn't seem to be correct. I noted that the contemporary British Town-class cruiser (1936), for example, had a much heavier armament. Older classes were also better armed. I'd suggest looking into this issue. Nick-D (talk) 11:00, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Nick-D: per review of the book; the "equal to light cruisers" is explicitly talking about Polish/French ones. How I managed to miss that I have no idea. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 13:04, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Coord note[edit]

Sorry but this review hasn't progressed in some time and doesn't have the depth of commentary that permit consensus to promote to be determined, so I'll be archiving it shortly. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 10:15, 4 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
