 * GA review (see here for criteria)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS):
 * Watch ENGVAR - see "armoured" and "armored", "harbor", "defenses", etc.
 * "After providing naval gunfire support to the Imperial Japanese Army..." - surely she wasn't supporting the IJA in the RJ War?
 * I'd pipe the link to Strashnii - it looks out of place compared to the rest of the linked ships
 * Got what appears to be a missing link in the first line of the second para in the career section
 * Watch your spelling here: "After the death of Vitfeft during the Battle of the Yellow Sea on 10 August, Viren was promoted"
 * "She was subsequently trapped" - I'd recommend using the ship's name here
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * What's the difference between Corbett I and II? I only see one entry in the ref section.
 * Two volumes.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 21:05, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * Where did she go between 1912 and 1914? Laid up?
 * Not mentioned other than her refit in '13.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 21:05, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Was there any involvement in operations during WWI?
 * Other than the one training cruise, none.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 21:05, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * 1) It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:
 * This isn't required, but you might want to turn Russian cruiser Bayan into an index page (or at least add a hatnote on this article to the later ship). Parsecboy (talk) 20:28, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

Good idea. I think that I've caught all the AmEng'isms and otherwise dealt with all of your comments. Thanks for the review.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 21:05, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Looks good now - I fixed the "Viren" mentioned above. Parsecboy (talk) 12:14, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
