The above good topic comprises the ironclads built by the Austrian and then Austro-Hungarian navies from the 1860s to the 1880s. Though it was decidedly second rate compared to other major European navies, the Austro-Hungarians assembled a powerful fleet of ironclads during the period and used it to defeat the numerically superior Italian fleet at the Battle of Lissa in 1866. This project was a joint effort; Sturmvogel 66 (talk · contribs) wrote the first few articles in the series (on the Drache class), I wrote the rest, and White Shadows (talk · contribs) came back from an extended wikibreak to help finish the main list, and we may take some of these articles to FA eventually - we'll see if we can turn it into an FT eventually. Thanks to those who take the time to review the topic. Parsecboy (talk) 19:57, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This seems comprehensive, and includes all the relevant classes and individual ships. A couple of queries on the topic box though. Shouldn't SMS Juan de Austria be SMS Don Juan d'Austria? And I suggest putting 1862 and 1875 after the Kaiser Max classes for clarity. When I first looked at it I thought it was a duplication until I remembered the supposed recycling. Also, the link for the second SMS Don Juan d'Austria goes to the list page rather than the 1875 ship page. Otherwise, looking good.

Good catch on the Dons - apparently I had forgotten to update my sandbox after I renamed the articles. Parsecboy (talk) 13:13, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Washington State Route 24 is a state highway in the south-central region of Washington in the United States. It connects Yakima to Othello and has three child routes that continue on to the Yakima River Valley, the Tri-Cities region, and Vantage.

All of the "child" highways associated with State Route 24 have been brought up to Good article status. All four articles were written recently with a consistent format. The four highways make up a fairly large portion of the highway system between Yakima, Vantage, and the Tri-Cities in south-central Washington state. This GT is based on an existing one, Washington State Route 22, and several other highway GTs. --SounderBruce 17:43, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This proposed topic covers the entire first season of the popular science fiction programme Doctor Who, including the season article itself. I started working on these in February, when I began collecting Doctor Who: The Complete History; at the time, all articles were C-class (excluding one B-class article). I finished working on the final serial article in June, and took a short break before finalising the season article last month. We now have nine GAs, and I believe the topic effectively meets the criteria. Very special thanks to the editors who reviewed the GA nominations—@Aoba47, Auldhouse, Argento Surfer, Figureskatingfan, and Adamstom.97—and of course to all the editors who worked on the articles before me. --– Rhain ☔ 23:57, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
