I'll review this article shortly.--Tomobe03 (talk) 12:37, 12 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Checklinks reports no problems with external links (no action required)
 * There is a duplicate link in the article which should be removed per WP:OVERLINK. That is: Muzzle velocity
 * The article contains a link to disambiguation page "Roll", and a link to "Merchantmen" redirect pointed at "Merchantman" disambiguation page. Please pipe the links to specific target articles
 * Both DAB pages contain the specific definition used here; there are no articles for these terms.
 * Copyvio Detector reports no violations (no action requried)
 * Images have appropriate licences and captions (no action required)
 * The article is stable (no action required)
 * Prose (and embedded table) referencing appears to be in order (no action required)
 * "... to fight their counterparts in the opposing fleet..." seems odd to me (I might be wrong on this one though) because it appears to me to indicate a specific opposing fleet. Shouldn't it be "in opposing fleets"? Once again, not being a native speaker of English, I might be totally off on this one, so think of this as a question rather than a GAR issue.
 * Shouldn't the "(fully loaded)" be presented without the brackets? Right now it seems the sentence is missing a word at its end.
 * The prose indicates the QF guns were Vickers guns, but the infobox lists Hotchkiss QF guns instead. Which were those?
 * Does the ship in "The ship's foremast was converted to a tripod mast..." refer to the Duke of Edinburgh alone?
 * Yes, Black Prince had been sunk in 1916.
 * Was a fire-control director added in 1917 or was it installed originally? I can't really deduce that from the current wording.
 * I think WP:OVERLINK does not prohibit linking Goeben, Breslau and the Battle of Jutland in the main body of the prose - they are mentioned previously in the lead only.
 * Why not wikilink Grand Fleet?

Nice work. The article needs just a bit of mending before it can be passed.--Tomobe03 (talk) 11:42, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I normally only link once per article, otherwise all addressed. Thanks for the review.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 18:56, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Good to go then.--Tomobe03 (talk) 08:59, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
