Another old German cruiser article for your delectation - this one ended up as a US gunboat that was sunk after a merchant ship collided with her, and she's now a popular diving site. Thanks for all who review the article. Parsecboy (talk) 19:19, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support Comments: Great work as usual, I have a couple of observations: AustralianRupert (talk) 07:21, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • "LOST AT SEA" per MOS:ALLCAPS should be title case
    • Fixed
  • slightly inconsistent presentation of body v infobox: "83.9 meters (275 ft)" v. "83.9 m (275 ft 3 in)"
    • Fixed the conversion templates for these three
  • same as above: "10.6 m (35 ft)" v. "10.6 m (34 ft 9 in)"
  • same as above: " 4.74 m (15.6 ft)" v " 4.74 m (15 ft 7 in)"
  • link revolver cannon
  • "decommissioned temporarily in Kiel" --> do we know why?
    • HRS don't say why - I'd assume the foreign stations were all filled, so there was no need for the ship at the time.
  • Honolulu and gunboat are overlinked

Support on prose per my standard disclaimer. These are my edits. - Dank (push to talk) 22:06, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support Comments I suggest to adding the service history with the United States to the info-box. the "fate" field in the German service must be removed. Because it was sunk while it was with the US not Germans.Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 13:22, 24 September 2016 (UTC) Here is my suggestion for US service:[reply]

History
United States
NameSchurz
Launched9 June 1917
Commissioned15 September 1917
FateSunk 21 June 1918 after collision
A good idea - added to the infobox. Parsecboy (talk) 12:11, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
