I'll take a look at this shortly. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 00:22, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
=Prelim=
- Cockpit is a duplicated link
- Fixed--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 12:05, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
- Article is stable
- Images correctly licensed
- Earwig reports copyvio unlikely
=Lede and infobox=
- "
onlysinking" - "Fewer than half survived
the warto be inventoried by the Allies after the war."
=Background and description=
- Suggest linking the Action of 22 September 1914
- "but only the forward observer could flown if a torpedo was carried" something missing here
- A word or two on the configuration of the cockpits would be useful - you mention the forward observer cockpit but we aren't provided with the positions of the other to compare it with (it isn't clear from the images)
=Operational history=
- "The mission was generally unsuccessful" not sure why "generally" is required here? Were any bombs dropped?
- Was Saint-Pol-sur-Mer a military airfield? Probably worth noting
- "the following evening" suggest adding the date here because it's been a while since the last was provided
- "surprised two cargo ships" to avoid too many pairs
- "caused one of the aircraft"
- Link Operation Albion
- Do we know exactly how the rescuing floatplane and crew were lost? Sounds like an interesting episode
- I was confusing two separate incidents on that same day.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:49, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
- Did the commander die in a WD.11 related accident?
- "action on 4 October
laterwhen two small minelayers" - Link Gotha WD.14
- "The weather was generally not suitable"
- Do we know whether the Dutch WD.11 was the rescue plane or the original craft that made the emergency landing? Might be worth mentioning that saga in a little more detail again here for context
- This should be a little clearer now.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:49, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
=References=
- "In service the German pilots found the WD.11 too fragile for the heavy weights that it needed to carry, specially while taking off or landing." needs a citation
- The Operators section really needs a citation for the sake of completion
- References look OK. AGF for print sources.
