:I am happy to review this article. Bruxton (talk) 14:31, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

::{{ping|Sturmvogel 66}} I have posted some suggestions. Bruxton (talk) 19:59, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

:FYI: I prefer no citations in the lead, so my suggestion is to repeat the information and cite in the body. I always check to see that the lead summary has all information cited in the body.

:{{ok}} Gothaer Waggonfabrik is mentioned in the lead but not in the body

::I figured Gotha and Gothaer Waffonfabrik were close enough for readers to grasp that they were the same company, but I've added a parenthetical note--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:19, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

:{{ok}} Marine-Fliegerabteilung is mentioned in the lead but not in the body

::I only use the German names on first use, and generally refer to them using the English name.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:19, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

:{{ok}} "compared to aircraft with the more common tractor configuration with the engine in the nose and was not approved for production." not mentioned and cited in the body

::{{xt|Testing by the Seaplane Experimental Command (Seeflugzeug-Versuchs-Kommando) at Warnemünde revealed that the WD.3 was overweight and had mediocre performance. The command therefore ruled out the possibility of any further pusher-configuration aircraft.}}--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:19, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

:{{ok}} "its ultimate fate is unknown." not sure I see this information in the body.

::Clarified.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:19, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

:{{ok}} "Gotha had been built a series of single-engine maritime reconnaissance floatplanes" consider that the sentence might have an extra word "been"

::Indeed.

:{{ok}} "These were unarmed scouts" consider linking or describe what an "unarmed scout" is?

::linked

:{{ok}} "In the days before the development of the interrupter gear," consider a blurb describing what this is.

:{{ok}} "The booms incorporated the inner structs connecting the wings" I m not familiar with the word "structs"

::Me neither :-( Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:22, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

:{{ok}} "the same month that World War I" Consider linking WWI in the body?

::It's a pretty short article

:{{ok}} "which showed that the project was not a high priority" consider expanding upon why developing the plane in 13 months showed that the project was not a high priority.

::Clarified

:{{ok}} "WD.3 was overweight and had mediocre performance" consider explaining or describing how much heavier and how mediocre the performance in comparison or related to expectations.

::My sources don't provide any more detail than that.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:26, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

:{{ok}} Earwig [https://copyvios.toolforge.org/?lang=en&project=wikipedia&title=Gotha+WD.3&oldid=&action=search&use_engine=1&use_links=1&turnitin=0 comes up with zero]. I will go through each citation.

:{{ok}} Not sure how I can access these sources. Any ideas? I can AGF based on your editing history but I would be satisfied if I could confirm several citations.

:::Thank you for the email with screen shots of sources. Bruxton (talk) 21:21, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
