Lede
 * Per Manual of Style/Lead section, the lede of this article adequately defines the cruiser, establishes the cruiser's necessary context, and explains why the cruiser is notable.
 * The info box is beautifully formatted and its content is sourced within the prose of the text and by the referenced cited therein.
 * The image of Giuseppe Garibaldi is released into the public domain is therefore acceptable for use here.
 * The lede could stand to have some more content included from the "Design and description" section for a more comprehensive summary of the entire article. This could be done by stating how many guns the ship had, or mentioning the size and number of its compliment.
 * The lede is otherwise well-written, consists of content that is adequately sourced and verifiable, and I have no other comments or questions for this section.

Design and description
 * This section is well-written, consists of content that is adequately sourced and verifiable, and I have no other comments or questions for this section.

Construction and service
 * A brief mention of Giuseppe Garibaldi role in the history of Italy should be stated to provide notability for the naming of a cruiser after him.
 * An image of Paolo Thaon di Revel could be included in this section for added aesthetics.
 * Add comma after "On 18 April" in third paragraph.
 * Reword as "After returning to Italy later that month, the ship began a refit that included replacing her worn-out guns and lasted through mid-June" as "After returning to Italy later that month, the ship underwent a refitting that included the replacement of her worn-out guns and lasted through mid-June"
 * The Adriatic Sea should be mentioned during the Ragusa activities.
 * This section is otherwise well-written, consists of content that is adequately sourced and verifiable, and I have no other comments or questions for this section.
 * I'd forgotten to look on Commons for available images and have added several along the lines that you suggested. The Adriatic is mentioned in the lede. I've reworded the sentence in question and have added more information on the ship's namesake.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:27, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
