Italics
I can only see Greger through Google snippets. In the one case I can see (p. 58) he does not italicise "250t" (which seems like an odd thing to italicise). Does he italicise it elsewhere?

this is a MOS issue, is it not? Greger calls is a class, so we treat it as one under the MOS? Cheers,

My mistake. Apparently, thematical classes ie "Town-class" are not italicised. My apologies for the revert. Cheers,

Request for a quick look at images before FAC
Hi,
Nikkimaria. This is destined to go in the FAC queue shortly, would you mind having a look at the images (there aren't that many) to give me a heads-up on any you don't think are ok licensing-wise? Thanks in advance.

We'd need a publication date for all of the Austrian photos, unfortunately - they're fine in Austria but the US tag in use requires pre-1978 publication.

Hi
Nikkimaria, from Wayback Machine, it appears they were first published on the Austrian website on 27 August 2002, (and I can find no publication on any US websites within 30 days). So, if they were first published outside the US post-1978 but without a copyright notice (there isn't one on the website), and they were PD-Austria on the URAA date, doesn't that make them PD-URAA?

Unfortunately, I don't think so - see chart

Letter after boat number?
The letter after the
boat number is not the t in 250t huh? Maybe you could put an example. Also it might be nice if "boat number" was a blue link.

There has been an edit by
Brown Water Admiral adding information about the sinking of a sub off Mangalia by one of the Romanian boats, but no citation has been provided. Could someone please add a citation for that? Thanks,

Peacemaker67 There are four sources in the Wikilink which I provided, leading to the article of the action, so I figured it wasn't necessary to copy them in, but I did copy them now. Also, how come than in this featured article, about torpedo boats, I could find nothing about how the two twin torpedo tubes are placed? Centerline or broadside? Yes, this matters.

We can't use WP as a source for anything, per
WP:CIRCULAR. We have to use the original reliable secondary source the information is contained in, not rely on a wikilink to an article where they are used. As far as the location of the torpedo tubes goes, if you have a reliable secondary source for their location, please add it. None of the sources used in this article (which are all that I could find on the class), state where the torpedo tubes were mounted. All I am trying to do is maintain the standard of this article as Featured, it is as comprehensive as the current sources allow. Information added without properly formatted footnoting to a reliable secondary source erodes the Featured status of the article. Repeated unfootnoted inclusions of this type can result in an article being subject to declassification from Featured. Thanks,
