  • One dab link. Please fix.
    • That's in the hat note; I'm not sure how to fix it since it covers ships and people both.
  • The infobox and the text indicate different speeds for the ship.
    • Clarified; I only use designed speed in infoboxes as trial speeds are rarely reached during active service.
  • "She was modified to lay mines shortly after the war began and laid mines herself and provided cover for other ships laying minefields." - redundant in that "mines" is used 3 times.
    • Split into two sentences.
  • "The following year, the ship was one of a group of cruisers that visited Brest, France, the Isle of Portland in Great Britain, and Stavanger, Norway." - elaborate the purpose of these visits.
    • Can't; my sources don't specify. But I suspect that it was the usual flag-showing.
  • Gardener and Gray reference is not used in the footnotes.
    • Cite added.
More small fixes. —Ed!(talk) 15:37, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There's a nice illustration of the ship by Oscar Parkes available in this journal that can be uploaded to en.wiki (Parkes died in 1958, so they won't be PD in the UK until 2028). Parsecboy (talk) 19:17, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
