  1. It is reasonably well written:
  2. :*No problem with dab links, dup links or external links. As in the other article, copyvio tool returns yellow here. Unless there's some significant different between this one and U-335, I would think you can rewrite the design section and just place it in both articles and note any substantial difference.
  3. ::*Rewritten, only a 4.8% match now. L293D ( • ) 03:31, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
  4. It is factually accurate and verifiable:
  5. :Source Spotcheck Refs 2, 3 and 4 all back up info cited in the article.
  6. It is broad in its coverage:
  7. :Not Yet
  8. :*Ref 1 is returning a Harv error
  9. ::*Fixed by someone else. L293D ( • ) 03:31, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
  10. :*As in the other article, infobox mentions mines but not in the prose. And crew complement needs to be added to the infobox.
  11. ::*Added. L293D ( • ) 03:31, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
  12. :*The "Wolfpacks" section can be merged into 1st Patrol, since they essentially contain the same material. What is a wolf pack and what did they do during these missions? These details can expand this section as well.
  13. ::*Done, merged. There's a link to Wolfpack (naval tactic), which I feel is sufficient. L293D ( • ) 03:31, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
  14. :*Were any ships sighted on the patrols? Any unsuccessful targets that could be mentioned?
  15. ::*Unfortunately, I don't have access to much info about unsuccesful sightings, but I've added what I could in the first patrol. L293D ( • ) 03:31, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
  16. :*This book, also mentioned in the other review, has a few mentions of U-301 and might be good addition for U-boat strategy at the time to explain how she was employed as well as a few extra details on the loss: [https://books.google.com/books?id=J3WpBQAAQBAJ&pg=PA183&dq=U-335+U-Boat+submarine&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi4pdDd5vzfAhUG7oMKHefIBEw4ChDoAQhAMAQ#v=onepage&q=U-301&f=false]
  17. ::*Added some content from the book. L293D ( • ) 03:31, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
  18. :*Was the wreck ever located?
  19. ::*Very probably not, it would be mentioned at u-boat.net. But I've done a search and haven't found anything. L293D ( • ) 03:31, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
  20. It follows the neutral point of view policy:
  21. :Pass No problems there.
  22. It is stable:
  23. :Pass No problems there.
  24. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate:
  25. :Pass Image tagged PD where appropriate.
  26. Other:
  27. :On Hold Pending a few suggestions for expansion. —Ed!(talk) 17:14, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
  28. ::*{{ping|Ed!}} see if my changes are satisfactory. L293D ( • ) 03:31, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
  29. :::*Holding pending the outcome of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Military_history#uboat.net_as_a_source this discussion] about use of uboat.net. —Ed!(talk) 15:10, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
  30. ::::*{{ping|Ed!}} what do you think now? The result of the discussion as I see it is that uboat.net shouldn't be used as only source, and I've added as many book sources as I find. L293D ( • ) 15:23, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
  31. :::::*{{Ping|L293D}} This is sufficient, IMO. If someone has a challenge about a specific point or fact in the article cited to uboat.net, they can bring it up on the talk page, with these new sources I feel you've largely double-refed anything major. Last request; if you could standardize the footnotes in {{sfn}} and {{cite web}} templates as appropriate, currently they're in a mix of formats. —Ed!(talk) 20:11, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
  32. ::::::*Done, sorry for the delay. L293D ( • ) 18:41, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

Pass With all this said and done, I think the article passes GA now. Well done! —Ed!(talk) 01:28, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
