List of ironclad warships of the Ottoman Empire[edit]

Instructions for nominators and reviewers

Nominator(s): Parsecboy (talk)

This is the capstone to this topic, the articles for which I wrote last year - this list includes all of the ironclads that the Ottoman Empire ordered or built, including those that were purchased by other countries before completion. Despite their limited finances, the Ottomans were able to amass a fairly respectable ironclad fleet in the 1860s, though decades of neglect and little to no training rendered it effectively useless when war with Greece came in 1897. Thanks to all who take the time to review the list! Parsecboy (talk) 18:57, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support on prose per my standard disclaimer. Well done. As always, feel free to revert my copyediting. These are my edits. - Dank (push to talk) 23:49, 5 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support: G'day, Nate, just a few minor comments from me. Otherwise looks pretty good. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 07:12, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

there are no duplicate links or dab links (no action required)
the images lack alt text, and although it isn't a requirement for A-class, it can help vision impaired users: [1]
- Added alt text, though I never know what's particularly useful.
in the Avnillah class section, is there a reference for the dates when the ships were laid down and commissioned?
- Good catch, added
Wilmott appears in the Notes, but not in the References
- Added
in the References, is there an OCLC number for the Beehler work?
- Added
in the References, the ISBN for the Greene work should be hyphenated for consistency
- Done
Sorry, one more: AustralianRupert (talk) 08:49, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- " Sondhaus, p. 90" is repeated in the citations, but should be a namedref like the others
  - Good catch, fixed. Thanks AR! Parsecboy (talk) 15:56, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    - @Nikkimaria: G'day, Nikki, this one review looks like it is almost ready for closure. Would you mind taking a look at the images? Thanks for your time. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 01:59, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support: I would advise using harv refs, but still. –Vami _IV✠ 10:24, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Image review

Suggest scaling up the Osmaniye and Feth-i drawings
- I scaled up the former and cropped out all of the white space in the latter, which should have fixed the problem.
File:Ottoman_ironclad_fleet.jpg: when/where was this first published? Nikkimaria (talk) 04:39, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Hmm, this might not be usable. The photo is credited as having been donated to the NHHC in 1982, but there's no information on the provenance of it. I haven't been able to track down a publication in contemporary periodicals as of yet, so I'll pull it until I can find a publication (if I can). Parsecboy (talk) 20:18, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
