I'll take a look at this shortly. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 00:24, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Prelim

• No relevant duplicated links
• Image correctly licensed
• Article is stable
• Earwig reports copyvio unlikely

Lede and infobox

• "upon its entry to the war"
  • Changed as suggested. Harrias ^{(he/him) • talk} 08:52, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
• "All three were scrapped after the war, and stricken in 1919." this suggests they were scrapped and then stricken, which I don't think would be the case? Suggest something along the lines of "All three were stricken after the war in 1919 and scrapped"
  • Changed as suggested. Harrias ^{(he/him) • talk} 08:52, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
• Remove the hyphens for F class and V class in the infobox
  • Already fixed. Harrias ^{(he/him) • talk} 08:52, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
• Complement doesn't seem to be mentioned/cited in main text
  • Added into body with citation. Harrias ^{(he/him) • talk} 08:52, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Background

• Link Admiralty
  • Already fixed. Harrias ^{(he/him) • talk} 08:52, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Design and description

• "in December 1911" no need to repeat the year here
  • Removed. Harrias ^{(he/him) • talk} 08:53, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
• "S-class" remove hyphen (shan't repeat this!)
  • Should be done throughout now. Harrias ^{(he/him) • talk} 08:53, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
• A word or two of context as to why the S class is being compared to the British E-class submarine (that it's a contemporary design?)
• Link bhp
  • Done. Harrias ^{(he/him) • talk} 08:53, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
• Link bow
  • Done. Harrias ^{(he/him) • talk} 08:53, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

History

• Suggest changing to Service history, as isn't this whole article really history?
  • Done. Harrias ^{(he/him) • talk} 08:53, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
• Do we know why the extra vessels were ordered?
  • It isn't in my sources, no. Harrias ^{(he/him) • talk} 08:53, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
• I feel like the First World War should be mentioned a bit sooner than it first is
• Link North Sea (is this the main location in which S1 served?)
• Do we have any further details on service? They may have just been particularly useless or unlucky submarines, but I expected to read of at least one or two succesful sinkings/captures?
  • Nothing more from any sources I can find. Harrias ^{(he/him) • talk} 08:53, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

References

• References look good, AGF for print sources. I think if you take this article any further you will receive pushback on The Dreadnought Project.

@Harrias: Hi, my apologies in the delay getting to this. I will await your replies. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 17:31, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

@Pickersgill-Cunliffe: No problem at all, thanks for the review. I'm pretty snowed under at work at the moment, but will try to get to it as soon as I'm able. Feel free to poke me if I still to have forgotten about it! Harrias ^{(he/him) • talk} 22:12, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

@Harrias: Hi, have you finished with this or do you have more to go through? Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 19:57, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

@Harrias: Reminder ping! Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 21:28, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

My bad, looks like I covered off the easy stuff. Will try and have a look over the weekend and get the other points done. Harrias ^{(he/him) • talk} 22:07, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

@Harrias: Progress has slowed as you're clearly busy elsewhere. As such I'm going to fail this nomination for now. If you find yourself with more time later on and want to renominate, please give me a ping and I'll pick the review up again. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 14:38, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

@Pickersgill-Cunliffe: Thanks for the review nonetheless. This year has been crazy so far! Harrias ^{(he/him) • talk} 17:49, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
