Hi! I'll take this article for review, and should have my full comments up by tomorrow. Dana boomer (talk) 19:05, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
References, should the Nunez ref "The Spanish-American war" be "The Spanish-American War"?

Yup - probably forgot to fix it when I copied it from google books.

Lead, "Bussard and Falke were broken up for in 1912," - there's either an extra word or a word missing here.

Fixed.

Lead, "but the remaining four ships remained in service" - remaining...remained (rather repetitive).

Also fixed

General characteristics, "A layer of Muntz metal sheathing" Is Muntz a type of metal, or a brand, or something else? Anything we could link to?

Yeah, I don't know why I forgot the link to Muntz metal

Service history, "never returned for an major dockyard work." Extra word?

Probably started writing "returned for an overhaul" and then switched halfway through ;)
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
A few minor prose issues, nothing major; placing the article on hold until these can be addressed. Dana boomer (talk) 22:44, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for review the article and spotting all those silly mistakes :) Should all be fixed now. Parsecboy (talk) 12:02, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

OK, everything looks good, so passing to GA. Dana boomer (talk) 16:15, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The range of guns[edit]

There is some variance in SMS Bussard armament description

The ship was armed with eight 10.5 cm K L/35 guns in single pedestal mounts, supplied with 800 rounds of ammunition in total. They had a range of 10,800 m (35,400 ft) (SMS Bussard#Design)

The first ship was armed with eight 10.5 cm K L/35 guns in single pedestal mounts, supplied with 800 rounds of ammunition in total. They had a range of 8,200 m (26,900 ft).(Bussard-class cruiser#Armament)-Валерий Пасько (talk) 15:38, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch, it was just a copy-paste error from the other ship articles - Bussard was the only ship of the class with the older guns. Parsecboy (talk) 15:54, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
