Hi! I'll be taking this review. I will use the template below to assess the article against the criteria. Please mark your edits on the review page as ✅ when they are addressed. If there are any issues please let me know here or at my talk page. Thanks!

Initial points:


 * There are no citations in the infobox, would it be possible to add some in or is it all referenced elsewhere in the article?
 * Going to defer to my co-nom Sturmvogel on that, he knows almost everything about ship infoboxes. - Dank (push to talk)
 * Everything in the infobox is cited in the main body unless I missed something.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:53, 19 February 2013 (UTC)✅
 * "at a rate between four and six shots per minute." Technically, couldn't they have fired at a rate of one, two or three shots a minute aswell? Could we change it to, "at a rate of up to six shots a minute." Let me know how you think about this one  ★ ★ RetroLord★ ★  12:58, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Sure, done. - Dank (push to talk) 14:48, 19 February 2013 (UTC) ✅


 * (25 ft 0 in) Could we change to just (25ft)?
 * ✅. I had been getting rid of "0 in" in the text, and missed this one, it's done now. There are some instances of "0 in" in the infobox; I'll defer to Sturm on that. - Dank (push to talk) 21:24, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I fixed the infobox measurements.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:31, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
 * " 9.69 metres (31 ft 9 in). Her displacement increased nearly 4,000 long tons (4,100 t)" How have the measurements been formatted in this article?
 * British English uses metres for length and long tons for ship displacement, and we've used the same conversions as are used in other ship articles. - Dank (push to talk) 21:19, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

I'll do a full review tonight.  ★ ★ RetroLord★ ★  20:49, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * ✅ I believe we've covered everything below. - Dank (push to talk) 21:10, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Ok, we have now addressed everything I listed below, i'll now take another look to make sure I havent missed anything.  ★ ★ RetroLord★ ★  02:39, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Problems with Aircraft section.
 * Fusō was briefly fitted with an aircraft flying-off platform on Turret No. 2 in 1924. When was it removed?
 * The same year. - Dank (push to talk)
 * During the first phase of her first modernization. Does the article explain when this was?
 * See the paragraph that begins "The ship began the first phase of her first modernisation on 12 April 1930". Although the sentence you're pointing to comes before that paragraph, we did say that her modernization began in 1930, so the reader would know when we're talking about. - Dank (push to talk)
 * although no hangar was provided. Could the planes operate despite this?
 * Sure. They were launched with the help of catapults, and they landed in water and were hoisted out of the water by cranes. - Dank (push to talk)
 * Does the ref at the end apply to the whole paragraph?
 * Yes.
 * Thanks -  ★ ★ RetroLord★ ★  02:48, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you. - Dank (push to talk) 03:02, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Ok, I've added a few more things, I think we're nearly done. Thanks  ★ ★ RetroLord★ ★  12:02, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Final issue I can see, the first two pictures are identical? Perhaps remove the second one? Thanks  ★ ★ RetroLord★ ★  05:57, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Oops, removed.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 06:10, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
