I'll review this article shortly.--Tomobe03 (talk) 11:48, 27 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

Toolbox check
  • No disambiguation links found (no action required)
  • Copyvio Detector reports no copyvio issues (no action required)
  • The following duplicate links should be removed per WP:OVERLINK: "Admirality Islands", "Jayapura", "Depth charge", and "Saipan"
  • There are several dead link refs which should be repaired all of them appear to be pointing to DANFS at navy.mil. Since some links to DANFS are in order, I suspect there's a typo in some URLs or something like that. The report on the broken links may be found here (Dunlap, Drayton, Cummings, Reid, Flusser, Lamson)
Image review
  • All images have appropriate licences, sourcing and captions (no action required)

Nice work. The article is very informative and requires just a bit of mending to meet GACR. Cheers!--Tomobe03 (talk) 13:17, 28 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

The nominator posted on my talkpage:

I've contacted you here because it seems the likely place to do so. If I’m wrong, please let me know. I believe I’ve fixed the deficiencies you pointed out on the talk page and have noted them, except for the dead links. (I plan to follow-up on your “Ships in class” suggestions, once the dead links issue is resolved.) I checked five of the ship link references to the appropriate DANFS at navy.mil. While in agreement, they remain dead. The sixth ship, Reid, has no link from her Wikipedia article to DANFS like the others. How I came up with the URL information escapes me. The references were cut and paste, none were by template. At the moment, I’m just spinning my wheels. So, is it possible you could favor me with some advice or help?

The urls were either incorrect in the first place or moved. They can be found here: Reid , Lamson, Flusser, Cummings, Drayton and Dunlap. For further reference, just go to this page, select initial letter, then the name of the ship or the name preceding (alphabetically) the one you're looking for to open a complete listing of the ships starting with the one selected. For example for Drayton, select D, then "Dragonet through Dyson" then Drayton.--Tomobe03 (talk) 11:55, 13 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

The "Ships in class" table still contains duplicate links. E.g. there's no need to have two links to "Bath Iron Works" in the same table. Just keep the first instance of each such link in the table.--Tomobe03 (talk) 11:57, 13 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

The deficiencies noted above, seemingly, have all been corrected. If not, please let me know. -- Pendright (talk) 18:40, 14 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

Indeed they are, so passing GA. Congratulations!--Tomobe03 (talk) 01:31, 15 December 2013 (UTC)Reply
