List of Knight's Cross recipients of the Kriegsmarine

Nominator(s): MisterBee1966

The list is complete and covers all 318 recipients within the Kriegsmarine. Every bit of information is cited. I therefore feel that it may qualify for the featured list rating. MisterBee1966 (talk) 14:30, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Resolved comments from Goodraise

General Usage of serial commas is inconsistent. The list contains too many red links. Lead "The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross [...] and its variants was the highest award [...]" - "The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross and its variants" is plural. "Was" is singular. "At the end of 1944 the last and final grade" - Add a comma after 1944. Three links in the lead link to Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross. Either de-linked all but the first or make them lead directly to the subsection where the desired information can be found. "29 December 1944 concluded the variants of the Knight's Cross." - Add a comma after 1944. List In the first two sections, there are parentheses around the enactment names, but not in the third section. Why aren't the first two lists sortable by date? "awarded after this date and must be considered "illegal" hand-outs." - Who used the word "illegal"? Footnotes "German National Achieves" - You mean "German National Archives"? (multiple occurences) Sources Citations 2-5 need a language parameter. Otherwise, sources look good. (Including the German ones.) Nice list, good work. -- Goodraise (talk) 21:22, 7 February 2009 (UTC) Comments from MisterBee1966 Regarding too many red links: I have written 5 featured lists so far and every time the a coverage of greater than 80% was required. Has this changed recently? 80%? That figure is news to me. Anyways, on re-reviewing I find the amount of red links bearable. Objection withdrawn. -- Goodraise (talk) 23:23, 8 February 2009 (UTC) [...] and its variants was the highest award [...] done comma after 1944 done parentheses arount enactment done sortable by date done illegal handout: check again it is cited "Fellgiebel 2000, p. 4." I see. But that source is written in German. Meaning, you're using the German word "illegal" as if it were the English word "illegal". Couldn't you say that without a direct quotation, like you did in the lead? -- Goodraise (talk) 23:23, 8 February 2009 (UTC) done please check MisterBee1966 (talk) 07:53, 9 February 2009 (UTC) Achieves/Archives done linking of Knight's Cross done MisterBee1966 (talk) 07:53, 9 February 2009 (UTC) Citations 2-5 need a language parameter. doneMisterBee1966 (talk) 07:58, 9 February 2009 (UTC) serial commas doneMisterBee1966 (talk) 12:29, 9 February 2009 (UTC) Let me explain: "Oak Leaves, Swords, and Diamonds" is with serial comma. "Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds" is without. Either way is acceptable, but you have to choose one and use it everywhere. -- Goodraise (talk) 16:29, 9 February 2009 (UTC) I think the only place left was in the infobox to the right. I removed the comma before the "and". I noticed that it may take a while for this effect to be visible. 22:25, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Support: All issues resolved. Sources look good (including the German ones). -- Goodraise (talk) 23:19, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
