This article is in pretty good shape. I have some comments:

• in the first sentence, suggest "The Richelieu class were fast battleships built"
  • Sounds good
• comma after Clemenceau
  • Good catch
• link Richelieu and Jean Bart in the lead
  • Done
• suggest "French African colonies turned overshifted"
  • Works for me
• suggest adding |Total ships scrapped=2 to the infobox
  • Good idea
• the infobox says in service until 1967, but shouldn't it read 1970 for Jean Bart?
  • Fixed
• put adj=on for "two 35,000 long tons" to drop the s
  • Fixed
• "from three to two shortened considerably" is this missing an "and"?
  • Must have gotten distracted while writing that
• when "laid down" is first mentioning in the body, link keel laying
  • Done
• suggest adding o/a to the infobox length
  • Done
• "to be shorted" shortened?
  • Fixed
• "housed a pair of catapults"
  • Fixed
• suggest link=on in the infobox for the power to link kW
  • Done
• were they all designed to have Indret boilers? The infobox says so, but the body seems to contradict this? Perhaps Sural?
  • Removed the manufacturer from the box
• suggest "Next astern was a second boiler room, followed by a second engine room" and later drop the #2 and use second, alternatively use No. 1 and No. 2
  • Done
• suggest "both of which were placed in a superfiring pair forward of the superstructure" as "both of" is redundant
  • Removed
• if neither Richelieu or Jean Bart were ever fitted with the amidships secondary turrets, then they shouldn't be included "as built", some rewording of this is needed
  • Good point
• hyphenate "time-fused"
  • Done
• the body says 24 13.2 mm guns, the infobox says 20?
  • Fixed
• link Director (military)
  • Done
• funnel is redlinked?
  • Fixed
• secondary battery)
  • Fixed
• the infobox and body belt measurements don't match
  • Good catch - Jordan & Dumas kept referring to it as 330mm and then on the pages specifically on the armor layout, they were more specific
• "and with armor on the same scale"
  • Done
• 19 Mach 1938
  • Who's to say they didn't submit the variants at Mach 1,938?
• "The number of triple 152 mm" turrets?
  • Fixed
• suggest specifying belt in the Clemenceau infobox
  • Good catch
• in general under Clemenceau specifications, make it clear that Clemenceau wasn't built, so these were planned rather than actual. Same for Gascogne specifications.
  • Good idea
• "Two superfired over the forward main battery turret"
  • Done
• "Full load displacement was reduced slightly" plus needs a full stop
  • Good catch
• replace l'État français and la France libre in the table with Vichy France and Free France as the French is unnecessary and potentially confusing
  • I hadn't looked at the table too closely, apparently - the article was a mess before I chopped it by more than half
• full stop after Crimson
  • Fixed
• "Engines were installed With German forces"?
  • Must've forgotten what I was doing halfway through ;)
• "including one wit as many"
  • Fixed
• " rendered in an unrealistic project" it?
  • Good catch
• is there a source page for File:Richelieu class battleships inboard profile EN.svg?
  • Added
• same for File:Richelieu class battleships power plant.svg
  • Added
• is there a source for File:Turret Richelieu.svg and File:Richelieu class battleships frame 167 35 aft.svg?
  • Added
• suggest cropping File:The Royal Navy during the Second World War A23483.jpg to make it square or rectangular
  • I'll get to this shortly
    • Cropped version uploaded and switched out.
• I'm not seeing the Dutch CC0 1.0 dedication for File:French battleship Jean Bart in the Suez Canal.jpg?
  • It's here - the statement at the top says if there's a download link, they're free to use (and then further down, it says the archives waives its rights to files with the CC0 marker, which this one has).
• Per Earwig, no copyvio issues

That's all I have. Great job on this. Placing on hold for the above to be addressed. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 10:54, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
