I'll do this one too. Parsecboy (talk) 12:11, 9 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

  • There are a few dupe links
  • Link Pelagosa
  • Same comment on the May attack on Italy as on the Triglav review
    • No idea.
  • I'd think the use of "Habsburg" to describe the ships would be non-intuitive to most readers
  • If I wanted to be a pedant (and I do!), I'd point out that Entente only refers to French and British (and Russian) ships - since we're including Italian forces, the proper term would be Allied. This would probably apply to the other two articles as well.
    • May you be infested with nits!
  • Any idea what happened to the ship between Nov. 1918 and 1920? I'd assume the Yugoslavs renamed her? Parsecboy (talk) 18:41, 9 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
    • Busted! I was hoping that I'd elided over that, so I wouldn't have to figure the details of the shenanigans. See how it reads now.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 01:02, 13 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
      • Hoping to get a different GA reviewer, eh? Do you happen to have the Warship International article by Vego on the Yugoslav Navy? Think I got it from Peacemaker a few years back - anyway, it has some details on the events of November that can help flesh this out a bit more. The issue is whether Balaton was in Pola or Cattaro at the time (I'd assume the latter) - the French occupation commander allowed the Yugoslav crews to remain aboard the ships there until February 1919.

        • I figured that I could dive into Bilzer and my Russian-language book on the Tatras whenever I got around to prepping these for ACR and thought that I had enough for "reasonably complete coverage". I do have the Vego article, although I'd forgotten about it. I'd also assume that she was in Cattaro as well, but you know what they say about assumptions! I'm not seeing much else in the article that I think is relevant, although there are a few differences in dates compared Sieche that I'm not sure are worth diving into. Lemme know what you think is worth adding. Maybe Bilzer can confirm or deny their presence in Cattaro and I'd hope that he has more details on their Italian service.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 14:16, 13 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
          • Bilzer confirms they were in Pola at the armistice, so there's that settled. You should have the scans now. Parsecboy (talk) 15:47, 13 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
Quick drive by comment - this statement in the first sentence reads strangely: "built for the German: kaiserliche und königliche Kriegsmarine". Shouldn't there be brackets somewhere in there? (think this is the same with the rest of the class) Cavie78 (talk) 12:44, 14 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
Very good point; I was focused on getting the language template working properly, not how it read.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 14:14, 14 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
