I'll claim this one. Parsecboy (talk) 16:33, 28 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

Link ship grounding, Compartment (ship), Hull (watercraft)
Seems odd to pipe normal displacement to just "normally" - I'd expand it to normally displaced
Orfey made seven sorties into the Baltic Sea that year in unsuccessful attempts to interdict the German supply of high-quality Swedish iron ore before the Gulf of Finland was iced over late in the year either by combat or the laying of minefields. - I don't like the placement of "before the Gulf of Finland was iced over late in the year". Maybe it's that the sentence is trying to cram a quart into a pint? Could be split to say:
- Orfey made seven sorties into the Baltic Sea that year in unsuccessful attempts to interdict the German supply of high-quality Swedish iron ore either by combat or the laying of minefields.. These operations were carried out before the Gulf of Finland was iced over late in the year.
  - You're right to split them. I do tend to stuff my sentences with a lot of info all at once.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 17:34, 28 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
Can you send me at least some of Verstyuk & Gordeyev for spotchecks? I can also look at Budzbon and Halpern, but figure I should take a look at the main source as well. Parsecboy (talk) 16:57, 28 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
- Done.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 17:34, 28 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
Spotchecks on 1, 4, 5, and 11, all look fine to me. Happy to promote, nice work! Parsecboy (talk) 18:39, 28 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
