I'll start this one soon.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 01:07, 1 December 2011 (UTC) GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

 * What do you mean by raked hull? What's a spotting top? I usually link to fighting top.
 * The hull was more raked - linked to raked. I don't like the fighting top link, as it's about sailing ships. I don't think anyone expected cruisers and battleships to get close enough to where small arms would be effective weapons, and there weren't larger weapons mounted in them.
 * B. Focused:
 * Link weather helm.
 * Linked.

Actually 37 and 47 mm cannon were mounted in fighting tops in the late 1800s as anti-torpedo boat guns, but that was no longer the case when these ships were built. But readers still need to know what one is. Perhaps a short entry in the glossary of nautical terms giving a simple definition.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 14:43, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Right, I was talking just about these ships. Added an entry on spotting top. Parsecboy (talk) 14:51, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
