I am nominating this article for A-Class review because after spending several weeks working on it in my sandbox. I recently moved it it the main space. Having asked for an assessment, the list was initially given start-class designation as I needed more citations in the lead. I've corrected that and cited the whole list and User:Woody (The one who reviewed the list for the B-class criteria) now says that he sees no outstanding issues with the list and encouraged me to send it to ACR. So here I am again! I've done this before with the List of battleships of Austria-Hungary and have modeled this list off of that of the Austro-Hungarian and German ones. Any comments wold be appreciated! Thanks :)White Shadows Your guess is as good as mine 10:57, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed the issue with Fatih. As for Conway's, look at the citations! There is one set that mentions all three, (1860) another set that mentions two authors (another Conway book) and there is one Conway book that only has Gardiner.--White Shadows Your guess is as good as mine 03:03, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose

I've looked at page 16...the whole page. I'll go back and take another look though :)--White Shadows Your guess is as good as mine 01:38, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Until I am able to get a copy of the book again, I have removed the citations Strum.--White Shadows Your guess is as good as mine 21:37, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough. So now what's the supporting cite for their service in China, etc? You'll need to remove all that unless you can support that statement.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 22:10, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Added page 66 from Hore. Hope this is good. Is there anything else that you need addressed?--White Shadows Your guess is as good as mine 00:01, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support on prose only per usual disclaimer. I would appreciate it if someone would check my copyediting. - Dank (push to talk) 19:41, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your copyedits look fine to me thanks :)--White Shadows Your guess is as good as mine 21:37, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support w/ comments:

  • "...so the Ottoman Navy Foundation was established with the aim of purchasing new ships through public donations rather than having them built locally." → What does "public donation" have to do with where they were built? Do you mean constructed by foreigners, or you mean that the ships were financed through donations? Later, you elucidate that it means the latter, but that still leaves the issue that the two parts of the sentence are unrelated to each other. So, instead of "rather" it might be better to use something like "while". JonCatalán(Talk) 19:40, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
They were financed through public donations ;)--White Shadows Your guess is as good as mine 00:33, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
