This might be minor, but you show the abbreviation "RN" for Royal Navy, and the never use that abbreviation. Is it even necessary to mention?
- I guess not.
"A gun explosion aboard Magnificent on 14 June 1905 resulted in 18 casualties." -- any idea why the guns exploded? Normally it wouldn't be as important, but those 18 casualties seem to be the only ones the ship ever suffered.
- Turns out it was a bad shell in one of the 6-inch guns.
"during this service, she temporarily was flagship of the Commander-in-Chief in November 1907" -- Mention who the Commander-in-Chief was at the time.
"Her sternwalk was damaged in a collision in December 1910." -- Any idea what she collided with?
- Conway's doesn't give any other information, and I haven't been able to find anything on it in the old naval annuals and the like.
"The Majestic-class ships were by then the oldest and least effective battleships in service in the Royal Navy." -- needs its own cite.
- That's covered by the Burt reference after the following sentence.
Reference section has a book by a "Carrow" but the footnote says it is "Callow."
- Should be Callow
"Carrow" also needs an ISBN
- ISBNs only go back to the 1970s - it's the same with the ref added for the gun explosion.
The ISBNs are presented inconsistently. Please include dashes in all or none of them.
- Fixed.
Dup link tool shows four results: Chatham Shipyard, Chatham, Royal Navy, and Belfast.
- Should all be fixed.

Mostly minor things. On hold pending fixing. —Ed!^(talk) 14:14, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reviewing the article, everything should be fixed up. Let me know if there's anything I missed. Parsecboy (talk) 15:43, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
