Looking at this one. —Ed!(talk) 00:18, 19 January 2019 (UTC)


 * GA review (see here for criteria) (see here for this contributor's history of GA reviews)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written:
 * Pass External links, dup links and dab links look good. Copyvio detector returns green.
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable:
 * Pass Ref 26 backs up what is cited in the text. Other offline references accepted in good faith.
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage:
 * Are there any characteristics from these boats that were specifically improved upon in subsequent classes?
 * Added a couple of lines on this - in short, no, the Lord Nelson-class battleships were an entirely new design
 * Would think a unit cost would be useful on this article, though as I mentioned in the individual ship articles, that can be something hard to find.
 * As I said in the ship reviews you did, I don't generally like including this information based on the inflation problem.
 * "The reason multiple boiler arrangements were adopted was to compare the effectiveness of different boiler types." -- Which configuration was deemed most successful?
 * Curiously, Burt doesn't say, apart from that the mixed arrangement in general was unsatisfactory.
 * Seeing the convert template used in some places but not others; should be consistent (ie, armour section: "The armoured deck was 2 in of mild steel, apart from the central portion of the hull, where it was reduced to 1 in (25 mm)..")
 * Each measurement is converted on first use and not thereafter - the 2" one is converted in the previous paragraph
 * Might seem clear, but perhaps worth adding a note for the ships' naming scheme or why it was decided to name them in this fashion.
 * Added a bit on this.
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy:
 * Pass No problems there.
 * 1) It is stable:
 * Pass No problems there.
 * 1) It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate:
 * Pass Seven images all tagged PD as appropriate.
 * 1) Other:
 * On Hold Nothing major, just holding for some clarifications.
 * Thanks again Ed! Parsecboy (talk) 13:15, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

Much appreciated! With all this done, I think I've got what I need. Going to Pass the GAN now. Well done. —Ed!(talk) 22:50, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
