This is another in the series of articles on German battleships built before World War I - like the others I've done recently, I wrote the article close to a decade ago and then substantially expanded it last year with the use of new sources. As was typical for German battleships of the era, Preussen was obsolescent at the start of the war and saw little activity. The ship was one of the few battleships Germany was permitted to retain after the war, but in this only to be converted into a mothership for minesweepers, since Germany was responsible for sweeping the rather extensive minefields that had been laid during the war. Thanks to all who take the time to review the article. Parsecboy ( talk) 16:50, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
Support - I reviewed this in detail for at Milhist ACR in September, and have looked at the minimal changes since then. I consider it meets the FA criteria. I did notice that Citation bot changed the cite journal to cite book for Warship. You can revert this and add <!--Deny Citation Bot--> immediately after cite journal and it will stop the bot from doing this mildly annoying action.

Thank you for another good one! I read the article and found nothing I want changed. alt-texts for images have already been mentioned. Consider, in the footnote, not only to say that Prussia is "Preussen" but also that there's no capital ß. As ships' names are allcaps, it's PREUSSEN even in German. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 22:57, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
