Talk:SMS Kaiserin Augusta

Please fix

It's B class, but you must promise to fix a sentence. Under "General characteristics" section, it says, "The ship was powered by three 3-cylinder ... both drove a screw ..." Do you mean "all three drove a screw"? Also, in the infobox under propulsion it looks like you need a space after a comma. Djmaschek (talk) 02:44, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for catching those, both fixed. Parsecboy (talk) 02:54, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

I'll get to this in the next couple of days.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 23:42, 7 November 2011 (UTC) GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

1. Is it reasonably well written?

   A. Prose quality:

   This is awkward Basilio Augustín, to Hong Kong, where the ship notified Berlin of the defeat of the Spanish garrison. The ship left Filipino waters on 13 August and arrived two days later And wouldn't this be better phrased as "which began"? which was conducted beginning in 1903

   Should be fixed. Parsecboy (talk) 14:38, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

   B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:

   Need publisher state/countries for Oxford, Greenwich, and Annapolis.\

   Added. Parsecboy (talk) 14:38, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

   A. References to sources:

   B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

   C. No original research:

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. Major aspects:

   Link Muntz metal; what's it used for? When was she laid down?

   Don't forget these.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 21:36, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

   Thanks for reminding me - and as for laid down, 1890 is the best I can get. Parsecboy (talk) 22:41, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

   B. Focused:

4. Is it neutral?

   Fair representation without bias:

5. Is it stable?

   No edit wars, etc:

6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?

   A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

   B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

Comment

Is the infobox supposed to have characteristics in ft converted to meters? If so why are the characteristics in the section General characteristics given in meters converted to ft? they also slightly differ.(86.87.73.104 (talk) 19:12, 14 November 2011 (UTC))

Picture of the day

SMS Kaiserin Augusta was a unique protected cruiser built for the German Imperial Navy in the early 1890s. Named for Empress Augusta, she was laid down in 1890, launched in January 1892, and completed in November of that year. Between 1897 and 1902 Kaiserin Augusta served primarily in the East Asia Squadron, assisting in the suppression of the Boxer Rebellion. She then underwent a five-year overhaul, after which she went into reserve. Following the outbreak of World War I in 1914, Kaiserin Augusta was mobilized as a gunnery training ship, serving in this role until she was sold for scrapping in October 1919 and broken up.Lithograph: Carl Saltzmann; restoration: Adam Cuerden
