I'll be reviewing this article shortly. Ealdgyth - Talk 23:38, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
    Just a few spots that could use some explication
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
  6. 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):
    Would be nice to have dates for photographs
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
  • General comments:
    • Could we get dates for the two photographs in their captions?
      • A rough date is available for one, the other is undated.
  • Propulsion:
    • "… and the ship had a maximum speed of 13.6 knots (25.2 km/h; 15.7 mph)." I assume this is while under engine power? Can we make this explicit?
    • Same sort of thing for "Black Prince could only do 11 knots (20 km/h; 13 mph), 2 knots (3.7 km/h; 2.3 mph) slower than her sister Warrior.", I assume this is under sail power? Again, can this be explicit?
      • Done and done.
  • Armour:
    • Can we give a quickie explanation of what an "armour belt" is? I know you've linked it but it'd be nice to have an explanation that didn't take the reader away from the page.
      • Harder to do that I thought; see how it reads now.
  • Service:
    • You can use {{inflation}} to give a conversion of various prices.
    • Do we know how much she sold for as scrap?
      • No price is given.
  • I've put the article on hold for seven days to allow folks to address the issues I've brought up. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, or here with any concerns, and let me know one of those places when the issues have been addressed. If I may suggest that you strike out, check mark, or otherwise mark the items I've detailed, that will make it possible for me to see what's been addressed, and you can keep track of what's been done and what still needs to be worked on.
