Another article on a German battleship up for FAC, part of this topic - this ship was one of the few German pre-dreadnought battleships to actually see battle during World War I, and she was one of a handful that were retained after the war by the postwar navy. Like the other articles I've nominated here recently, I originally wrote the article in 2010 and then completely rewrote it with new sources last year. It has since passed a MILHIST A-class review ( here). Thanks to all who take the time to review the article. Parsecboy ( talk) 17:51, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
Support on prose per my standard disclaimer. Well done. I've looked at the changes made since I reviewed this for A-class. As always, feel free to revert my copyediting. These are my edits. - Dank ( push to talk) 21:41, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
Support I reviewed this in detail at Milhist A-Class earlier this year, and it hasn't had any appreciable changes since. I consider it meets the FA criteria. Peacemaker67 ( click to talk to me) 09:36, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

Support. I made very minor changes, please check. I think we don't need the Elsaß footnote. In German, the ship's name is also Elsass, and I learned years ago that ship names always have ss because they are all capital letters. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 22:18, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
Source review the sources are all of high quality and reliable, mostly by acknowledged specialists in the naval field. No issues formatting-wise, but I do have a question about the Dodson source in Further reading. Does it have anything unique to say about this ship, or the class in general? Nate, I wonder if it should be used as a source rather than in a Further reading section? What's your thinking on that? Cheers, Peacemaker67 ( click to talk to me) 07:45, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
- The article has more to do with the class than individual ships, though what it does cover on the ships' activities is focused on their post-war careers, and it doesn't have anything to say beyond what's in Hildebrand et. al. Parsecboy ( talk) 12:31, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
Closing comment: Although there has not been much in terms of comment here, we have four supports and a fairly detailed A-class review. As this has been open for a month, I think we have a consensus to promote.
