Design
 * "She displaced 2,428 long tons (2,467 t)." - Is it stated in the source if this is full load or normal load?
 * No, it doesn't unfortunately, and neither do the contemporary sources.
 * Was there no armored belt?
 * No, protected cruisers generally only had an armor deck that was sloped at the sides
 * Is armor thickness for the gun shields known?
 * No, unfortunately

Service history
 * Infobox gives a launch date of 7 July 1899, prose gives 7 September 1899. Which is correct?
 * September, good catch
 * "But the completion of her sea trials was delayed until later that year; during speed tests," - I'm not for sure what the Wikipedia MOS guideline is, but every English teacher I've ever had said not to start a sentence with But.
 * I think that's one of the grammar rules we're all taught in school but isn't actually true - see this, for example
 * I guess namesake can be added to the infobox for this one, because it's known and cited to a reliable source in the prose.
 * Good idea - it was nice to actually find a reference to the namesake for once.

Other
 * Why is this in Category:World War I cruisers of France? Infernet was out of action for several years before the war started.
 * Good question, removed

That's all I see. Good work. I've reviewed several of your submissions to GAN and ACR, and I've had very little to say about all of them. Do you think I've been doing a good job reviewing? Since I'm a somewhat prolific reviewer, I want to make sure I'm keeping up quality. Hog Farm Bacon 19:46, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks, and yes, I think so. One thing is how long I've been doing this - I've had more than ten years of people hammering me on all the mistakes I make (and as you can see, I still make silly mistakes like typing the wrong month) - ask CPA-5 about all the stuff I've had to internalize in the last year or two he's been reviewing the articles I write. The other thing is, in a short article like this, there's only so much material to look at. Parsecboy (talk) 12:57, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
