One of the shorter battleship articles I've ever reviewed, given that she appears to have had a relatively uneventful career. Overall, it's a very good article but there are some minor issues that could use some tweaking
- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose):
b (MoS): 
- While the prose is definitely well written, there's a few minor issues with MoS. Notably, the use of multiple conversions (knots to km/h and mph) gets very tedious and tends to bog down the article. Could you agree on whether to use mph or km/h?
- I've standardized how it's presented in the conversion template, which should help somewhat.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 12:39, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
- Excellent. no further objections then. Cam (Chat) 03:10, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

- a (prose):
- It is factually accurate and verifiable.
- a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
- no objections here
- a (references):
- It is broad in its coverage.
- a (major aspects): b (focused):
- Can the events during the Cretan Revolt, as well as her crew's refusal to put down the mutiny be expanded upon at all? It seems as if they stand out as the only major events in an otherwise lackluster career, and as such could deserve a little more expansion.
- Unfortunately all the Russian ships seemed to do was to steam around the island and put into port every once in a while. No evacuation of Russian nationals, etc., that would have been worth expanding. More like an implied threat to protect Russian interests than anything explicit.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 12:39, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
- Well that's downright boring! No further objections. Cam (Chat) 03:10, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
