A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on June 19, 2009.

The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that although the Siegfried-class coast defense ships were rendered obsolete by the 2nd Naval Law in 1908, they continued to serve in their intended roles until 1915?

Current status: Good article

Assessment comments[edit]

Parsecboy, this article could use a paragraph similar to the one you used for the Bismarck, or at least placing this in the context of the arms race and the larger European issues. Do we know who commanded this ship? Is there additional material from the german page that would help you enhance this? Nice work, too! --Auntieruth55 (talk) 22:59, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've put the article on hold for seven days to allow you to address the issues I've brought up. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, or here with any concerns. Thurgate (talk) 19:35, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I think I've got everything. I wrote this back in June 2009 - it's kinda funny to go back over old articles like this and fix all the things I wasn't doing right. Thanks for reviewing the article. Parsecboy (talk) 12:33, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ah I thought as much, as it had a few mistakes that you dont make on your newer articles :). Anyway, nice work one again. Passed. Thurgate (talk) 17:28, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Flanders Flotilla[edit]

Karau's book Wielding the Dagger states on page 45 that the Flanders Flotilla requested the transfer of two Sigfried class ships to reinforce its defenses and assist in coastal bombardment, but that this request was denyed because the Admiralty felt that Flanders was not secured enough yet to ensure the safety of the transfer.XavierGreen (talk) 17:17, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
