1. Is it reasonably well written?

   A. Prose quality:

   After Aube's retirement, the plans for the ships were reworked entirely, for the ships that were actually completed, though they are sometimes conflated. This isn't very clear. You might say that the new ships were completely redesigned or some such.

   See how it reads now.

   B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:

2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

   A. References to sources:

   B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

   C. No original research:

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. Major aspects:

   Link tumblehome, gun turret, Mediterranean Squadron/Fleet. Ship is a pre-dreadnought, not an ironclad.

   Don't forget these.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:03, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

   Oops, I missed those. Should all be done. Parsecboy (talk) 19:23, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

   B. Focused:

   Any range figure available? Wikimedia link should be in external links rather than see also. Explain why accident aboard Jaruréguiberry meant that Martel's tubes had to be replaced. I think you mean Greenwich, not Greenwhich in the Gardiner ref.

   Should be all addressed, apart from the range figure. Nothing in Conway's or any of the old naval journals I've been able to track down.

4. Is it neutral?

   Fair representation without bias:

5. Is it stable?

   No edit wars, etc:

6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?

   A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

   B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

I went ahead and disambiguated freeboard for you because I'd forgotten to check earlier.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:46, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
