Another old German cruiser article for your delectation - this one ended up as a US gunboat that was sunk after a merchant ship collided with her, and she's now a popular diving site. Thanks for all who review the article. Parsecboy (talk) 19:19, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
Image review
- File:USS_Schurz_NH_94909.jpg: when/where was this first published? Nikkimaria (talk) 02:42, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
- Don't know, but the NHHC position is that all photos in their collection are PD unless otherwise noted. Parsecboy (talk) 10:27, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
- Okay, do we have a different licensing tag to indicate that? The current tag can't be used unless we can show that it's valid. Nikkimaria (talk) 14:27, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
- I suppose we could do a {{PD-because}} with a link to the NHHC page. Parsecboy (talk) 13:04, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Support Comments: Great work as usual, I have a couple of observations: AustralianRupert (talk) 07:21, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
- "LOST AT SEA" per MOS:ALLCAPS should be title case
- Fixed
- slightly inconsistent presentation of body v infobox: "83.9 meters (275 ft)" v. "83.9 m (275 ft 3 in)"
- Fixed the conversion templates for these three
- same as above: "10.6 m (35 ft)" v. "10.6 m (34 ft 9 in)"
- same as above: " 4.74 m (15.6 ft)" v " 4.74 m (15 ft 7 in)"
- link revolver cannon
- Done, though to Hotchkiss gun, as that's more specific
- "decommissioned temporarily in Kiel" --> do we know why?
- HRS don't say why - I'd assume the foreign stations were all filled, so there was no need for the ship at the time.
- Honolulu and gunboat are overlinked
Support on prose per my standard disclaimer. These are my edits. - Dank (push to talk) 22:06, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
Support Comments I suggest to adding the service history with the United States to the info-box. the "fate" field in the German service must be removed. Because it was sunk while it was with the US not Germans.Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 13:22, 24 September 2016 (UTC) Here is my suggestion for US service:
| History | |
|---|---|
 United States | |
| Name | Schurz |
| Launched | 9 June 1917 |
| Commissioned | 15 September 1917 |
| Fate | Sunk 21 June 1918 after collision |
- A good idea - added to the infobox. Parsecboy (talk) 12:11, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
- Added my support and also listed at ACR. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 15:08, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
