I'll take a look at this shortly. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 09:55, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

Prelim

 * Navy list is a duplicated link
 * No edit wars
 * Was File:Momi II.jpg actually published prior to 1957?
 * No idea, but the Japanese copyright requires either published or taken before 1957.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 12:13, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Earwig reports copyvio unlikely

Lede and infobox

 * "miod-1944" sp
 * Move convoy link to first mention
 * "Kiri returned home" not clear where home is
 * Are we sure the ship was commissioned on the day of her acquisition by the Soviets?
 * No, just the month.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 12:23, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

Design and description

 * IJN acronym isn't explained anywhere
 * "The single mount was partially protected against spray by a gun shield" this suggests the other mount didn't have a gun shield, but from the image it looks as if it did?
 * That's actually the compartment for the gun crew.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 12:23, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

Construction and career

 * Suggest linking Battle off Cape Engaño again
 * I would have expected the "admiral" in "Vice-admiral" to be capitalised
 * Did the ship do anything particular in the battle, or is her role recorded?
 * Only that she had a problem refueling the day before the battle. She's not mentioned as doing anything in any of my sources.
 * "slightly damaged the following day" by what?
 * Combined Fleet says that they don't know by what. All I can guess is that it was not by American action as it doesn't line up with any American attacks on that date. Could have been something like grounding on a sandbar.
 * Main text suggests that the rescuing of Yūzuki's crew happens on 12 December, but the ship sank on 23 December per her infobox?
 * Definitely 12 December. I'll fix that ship's article accordingly
 * "on 17 June" needs the year
 * Do we have any idea what the ship was doing in Soviet service? The paragraph currently reads like a calendar
 * Agreed, but there's nothing out there better detailing her activities during this time.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 14:53, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Suggest linking hulked
 * "3 October 1957" no need for repeated year
