  • Infobox says " Sold for scrap, 27 May 1907", while both times in the prose, October is mentioned.
    • Fixed
  • Lead: "Stein was laid down in November 1875, launched in October 1876" Infobox: "Laid down: 1876 Launched: 8 October 1877 Completed: March 1878"
    • Fixed
  • Same issue of different drafts in prose and infoboxes as the other ship.
    • Fixed
  • Prose and infobox displacement differ by about 100 tons
    • Fixed
  • Same issue with different ranges in prose and infobox, too.
    • Fixed - you'd think with one of these, I'd remember to check the infobox first
  • "She also carried six 37 mm (1.5 in) Hotchkiss revolver cannon." Strikes me that "cannon" should be plural here?
    • You can pluralize cannon both ways
  • Is the link to Corvette (4) meant to be useful in "She was the third member of the Bismarck-class corvette"?
    • Nope, one too many pipes in the template
  • " and reached Batavia in the Dutch East Indies " Batavia is a dab link
    • Good catch
  • "France over Tonkin and Annam that led to" Annam is as well.
    • Fixed
  • "East Asia squadron" Should Squadron be in caps too?
    • Yes
  • "The ships left for an overseas training squadron shortly thereafter" Should squadron here read "cruise" instead?
    • Sometimes, you have to wonder what you were thinking when you type something like that...
  • "While Stosch was in Smyrna, Hollmann and his staff made an official visit to Sultan Abdul Hamid II." Should likely mention what he was Sultan of?
    • Good idea.

Sorry for so many nitpicks on this one. Courcelles (talk) 00:11, 24 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

Not at all - these are mostly things I should have fixed before I nominated the article ;) Thanks again! Parsecboy (talk) 12:26, 24 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
