While I reviewed the previous ship in this series back in December, I think enough time has passed since then for me to come back while ensuring a chance for other people to review these articles. My writing style has also developed since then, so I can provide a better review

• 1894–1895 Is this em(?) dash MOS? Auto Wikibrowser replaces them with a phrase instead
  • It's an endash, and yeah, it's fine to use here, though it probably could use an "in" (and slightly less wordy than "and from 1894 to 1895")
• Is there a need to have the main article hatnote for Wespe-class gunboat? The article is already linked in the article, and is one of the first words in that paragraph.
  • It's slightly redundant, but I think worth highlighting with a hatnote so readers know where to find more detail if they want it
• She joined her sisters "Sister ships" would be a better phrase here, since it had not been previously introduced
  • Done, and linked to sister ship
• The Wespes were intended to beach themselves on the sandbars along the German coastline to serve as semi-mobile coastal artillery batteries. Since this was coastal artillery, they were intended to be used against enemy ships and not troops?
  • Yes, they were to be used to fight enemy ships
• Do you not know the German name for Armored Gunboat Division, like you do for the other proper nouns in the article?
  • I do, but they're not likely to ever have an article, so I didn't bother including them

Besides these points, great job with the article! GGOTCC 17:21, 19 April 2026 (UTC)

That is all from me. There are no issues with sourcing or originality. Well done! GGOTCC 19:07, 20 April 2026 (UTC)
