This article is in good shape. A few comments from me:

  • in the lead, suggest "Commissioned in the same month,..." to avoid repetition
    • Good idea
  • suggest "naval construction forby the Russian Navy"
    • Well, the Navy wasn't building the ships themselves in most cases (apart from the ships built in the Admiralty Yards
  • "it was a virtual repeat of the preceding"
    • Good catch
  • the beam conversions between the body and infobox don't match
    • Fixed
  • the displacements are converted to LT in the body and t in the infobox
    • Fixed
  • number of shafts not in the body
    • Fixed
  • the speed conversions between the body and infobox don't match
    • Fixed
  • the kW conversion between the body and infobox don't match
    • Fixed
  • the number of 12-pounders doesn't match between the body and infobox
    • Fixed
  • where were the TTs located? amidships?
    • As at Implacable, I can't say for sure
  • the armour conversions between the body and infobox don't match, and are in cm in one and mm in the other
    • Fixed
  • link Krupp armour
    • Done - here and at Implacable
  • no crew numbers mentioned in the body
    • It's there, in the second para of the Design section
  • no damage from the collision with SS Don Benite?
    • Nothing mentioned in Burt, no
  • is there a useful link for Medway?
  • there is some italicisation of ship names needed
    • Good catch
  • "were at Portland."
    • Fixed
  • not just the "Landing at Cape Helles", suggest dropping this as London was involved in the Landing at Anzac
    • Fixed as at Implacable
  • link 3rd Brigade (Australia)
    • Done
  • antitorpedo nets needs a hyphen to be consistent with earlier usage
    • Fixed
  • File:Formidable class battleship diagrams Brasseys 1906.jpg needs a US PD-1923 tag
    • Already fixed
  • File:Hmslondon 11th and 12th battalions.jpg doesn't need a US PD tag, as Crown Copyrights expire worldwide. There is also no publication date to support the current US PD tag.
    • Good point, removed.

That's me done, placing on hold for the above pretty minor matters to be addressed. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 03:48, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
