This article is in good shape. I have a few comments/queries:

the body says two marine steam engines but the infobox says one?
- Good catch - that must have been a copy-paste error when I wrote Meteor, and it slipped through when that article went through GA
were the guns muzzle-loaders? If so, perhaps say so. Forgive my lack of naval artillery knowledge.
- Good idea
when was her 15 cm gun replaced after being removed for the Black Sea trip?
- Hildebrand et. al. don't say, but I'd assume after returning to Piraeus
perhaps link Commodore
- Done
perhaps mention that Cuxhaven is at the mouth of the Elbe?
- Good idea
perhaps "For the remainder of the conflict, she stayed at Cuxhaven guarding the prizes that had been taken"?
- Good idea - I struggled a bit with that sentence, since the previous wording made it sound like the prizes had been captured in Cuxhaven, but your solution did not occur to me.
link Mobilization at mobilized
- Done
suggest "Basilisk was decommissioned for a second time, this time..."
- Another one that I wasn't happy with but couldn't come up with something better.
perhaps "She was the first vessel of the German navy to be armed with self-propelled torpedoes", as she didn't actually use them in combat?
- Works for me
one of the sources gives its location as Pennsylvania, anything more specific?
- Oddly enough, that's all Worldcat has for the book. The front of the book is no help either, it simply says that it was "Printed in the United States of America"
image is appropriately licensed.

That's me done. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 09:30, 25 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
