• Well-written

a. the prose is clear and concise, it respects copyright laws, and the spelling and grammar are correct

b. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation

The article is well-written, but here is a list of suggestions for improvements.

1. Why write "1940/1" but write the two others as "1942–43" and "1942–45"? I'd suggest changing "1940/1" to "1940-41" so as to match the others.

2. "Sometime in 1941" - If it's unknown when in 1941 I'd suggest simply writing "In 1941".

3. "named after the commander of the torpedo boat SMS V-29 killed during the Battle of Jutland in 1916" - I'd suggest adding "that was" in between "SMS V-29" and "killed".

4. Instead of writing "6/7 January" and "28/29 September" I'd suggest writing "6-7 January" and "28-29 September" and this of course goes for every time "/" is used instead of "-".

• Verifiable with no original research

a. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline

b. It provides in-line citations from reliable sources for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines

c. It contains no original research

The article uses book sources which are arranged alphabetically and contain the necessary source information.

• Broad in its coverage

a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic

b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail

The article is broad in its coverage, stays on topic and does not into unnecessary detail.

• Neutral

It represents viewpoints fairly and without bias, giving due weight to each

The article is neutral with no personal opinions or statements.

• Stable

It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute

The article is somewhat recently created and is written mainly by one editor. The article does not change significantly from day to day (with exceptions of those edits done in the face of the GA-nomination) and is not the subject of edit wars or content disputes.

• Illustrated

a. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content

b. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions

The article is illustrated with one image in the infobox which is a public domain and contain the necessary information text.

• Pass, fail or hold?

The overall article meets the GA-criteria, but I'm going to put it on hold so the GA-nominator can respond to those suggestions I left. Good job people. Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 15:48, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

Since the GA-nominator is inactive these days I will make the changes myself for the sake of the article. Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 16:43, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
