I will do this one, which looks in good shape anyway. Comments as follows:
Lead[edit]
- Inconsistent usage of units when discussing primary & second armament, also inch used in full but not millimeters?
- The 164 mm guns were French (presumably the 164 mm Mle 1858 guns carried by Gloire or the Mle 1860 guns carried by Couronne - the source doesn't specify) but I'd assume the 8-inch guns were British, since the French did not use a gun of this caliber at the time. It's appropriate to give the caliber in the unit of measure used by the designer (for instance, Slava carried Russian 12-inch guns and French 47-mm guns).
- Not sure the second usage of Austria really necessary
- Good point
Infobox[edit]
- the piping for the wikilink to steam engines needs to be made singular
- Fixed
- check the conversions for length, draft, and the battery armour to what is in the article text
Design[edit]
- Meters and ton used in full on first usage but not feet or millimeters
- Both spelled out
- The conversion for 8 inch to mm is very slightly different to what is in the lead
- Fixed
Service history[edit]
- "Italian fleet"; suggest that this should be the "Italian Regina Marina"
- Sounds fine to me
- link Adriatic?
- Good idea
- Austrian Navy linked twice
- Fixed
- "They there?"
- Heh - should have been "were"
- "More dangerously, by stopping Re d'Italia,..."; suggest a little more context for this ship as this appears to be its first mention.
- Does just adding a link to the ship in the first sentence of that paragraph work?
That's it for me, will check back in a few days. Cheers. Zawed (talk) 02:28, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
