Prelim

 * Moored is a duplicated link
 * File:Francisque-Bougault.jpg need US PD tag
 * No edit wars
 * Earwig reports copyvio unlikely

Lede and infobox

 * "an Arquebuse-class"
 * Launch date differs wildly between lede, infobox, and main text
 * Date of being struck differs between infobox and main text
 * The fact the boilers are water-tube are not mentioned in main text
 * Du Temple Guyot boilers are a type of water-tube boilers--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 11:31, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

Design and description

 * Would prefer a link to Arquebuse-class destroyer rather than the vaguer and less useful ship class
 * Linked in the lede--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 11:35, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Suggest saying that the Durandal-class is also destroyers
 * Link Canon de 65 mm Modèle 1891
 * "one between the funnels" if possible a description of the funnels and their location would make this a more useful statement

Service history

 * Link sea trials
 * Already linked in the description section.
 * Do we really need to know the French translation of "commissioned"?
 * If you're redlinking Northern Squadron in the lede you should probably do so in the main text too
 * Considering the Northern Squadron has no article, could you describe what/where this actually was?
 * Do we not know what the ship was doing between 1904 and 1911 at all?
 * There's nothing in my sources covering that other than the 1905 assignment.
 * "on 27 October 1914" no need to repeat the year
 * "as she was moored inboard of Fronde."...and thus could not fire her guns? or similar explanation
 * Not totally necessary, but I'm surprised you don't mention the fate of sister ship Mousquet in the same engagement
