Hi,

I've made the following edits which you're free to change.
 * Those all look fine to me. Parsecboy (talk) 22:20, 11 October 2012 (UTC)


 * "was a group of four pre-dreadnought battleships of the French Navy. The class comprised Liberté, the lead ship, Justice, Vérité, and Démocratie." - not readily clear why only three visited the US.
 * None of the sources say why, so I'd prefer not to speculate.


 * "Two years later, Liberté's forward magazines exploded in Toulon harbor, destroying the ship and killing approximately 250 of her crew." -why does the body of the article continue after the "The explosion aboard Liberté killed some 250 officers and men.[8] The wreck was left in Toulon until 1925, when it was raised and broken up for scrap."?
 * I don't know that I follow. Are you asking why Liberte's ultimate fate isn't in the lead?


 * "after the revolutionary British HMS Dreadnought," - after the revolutionary design of the British HMS Dreadnought?
 * I don't think there's a problem with calling the ship revolutionary versus its design - isn't the design part implied in the first? The sentence is already fairly wordy, and I don't really want to make it longer.


 * "with good success" - with success? used successfully in the Navy's experiments ..
 * Good point. Thanks for reviewing the article, Mathew. Parsecboy (talk) 22:20, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
