It's been a little while since the last German battleship graced the Milhist ACR page, but seeing as this one's sister ships are all FAs, I thought it was time to get around to rewriting it. Thanks to all who take the time to review the article. Parsecboy (talk) 14:15, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

Support Comments: G'day, Parsecboy, nice work as usual. I have a few minor comments/observations: AustralianRupert (talk) 06:46, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

• inconsistent: " 13,000 metric horsepower (12,822 ihp; 9,561 kW)..." (in the body of the article) v. "13,000 PS (12,820 ihp; 9,560 kW)" (infobox)
• Fixed the rounding error
• (in the body) "twelve machine guns" --> should "1-pdr" be included here for consistency with the infobox?
• Good idea
• inconsistent: "She was scrapped in 1920" (in the lead) v. "Scrapped in 1919" (in the infobox)
• Fixed
• I think the images would be more visually appealing if the borders were cropped from: "File:Die Gartenlaube (1887) b 517.jpg", "File:S.M. Linienschiff Kaiser Friedrich III.jpg"
• I'll have to address that later - am traveling for the holiday so I don't have access to my home system.
• "a foray toward Gotland to catch Russian warships" --> "a foray toward Gotland to attack Russian warships"?
• Sounds fine to me.
• "Two days later, the fleet arrived off Gotland to show the German flag, and was back in Kiel by 30 December" --> was any action fought? If not, it is probably best to say so, given it seems they went there looking to engage the Russians?
• Good idea - I've clarified that
• in the References, is there an ISSN or OCLC (or similar) for the R.U.S.I. Journal?
• Added
• same as above for Notes on Naval Progress?
• Added
• "United States. Office of Naval Intelligence" --> is the full stop a typo here?
• Yes, good catch
• this seems inconsistent: "Ratingen, DE" v. "Bonn"
• Fixed. Thanks for your very thorough review! Parsecboy (talk) 14:00, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

This article is in fine shape, I have made a few minor tweaks and only have one minor quibble.

• the infobox lists a range for the belt armor, but only the maximum is detailed in the body
• Fixed, good catch. Parsecboy (talk) 12:48, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

Image review

• :File:S.M. Linienschiff Kaiser Friedrich III.jpg -- author's date of death?
• Added.
• :File:Die Gartenlaube (1887) b 517.jpg -- ditto?
• This one is tricky - the caption credits the photo to a "Th. Politzky", but I can't find anything on him. When I crop the border, I might have to upload it locally, since it is definitely PD in the US even without the date of death.
• Actually, the illustration was just based on Politzky's photograph - there's a signature on the drawing itself that I can't make out, but it doesn't appear to be the same as the author of the article it came from. Parsecboy (talk) 16:47, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
• :File:Kaiser Friedrich III..jpg -- link to source seems to need updating.
• Replaced.
