Comments

Overall, this article is in very good shape. I have the following suggestions/comments: AustralianRupert (talk) 12:46, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

• inconsistent: in the body, "1124 and 1133 officers and enlisted men" v. in the infobox, "34 officers, 139 petty officers, 1,020 enlisted" (several issues: firstly, commas probably should be added to the body, but secondly the infobox numbers appear uncited as they are not covered by the body);
  • Not sure where the breakdown came from, but I've fixed it
• inconsistent: in the body, "She displaced around 25,000 metric tons (25,000 long tons; 28,000 short tons)" v. in the infobox "Full load: 26,000 metric tons (26,000 long tons)"
  • Probably a typo. Good catch.
• coverage: the infobox mentions range, but the body doesn't seem to; likewise, deck, turret and casemate armor doesn't seem to be mentioned in the body, nor is normal displacement (23,936 metric tons (23,558 long tons));
  • All added to the body
• coverage: the infobox seems to mention a post 1935 armament, but the body doesn't seem to clarify this...although there are details on a 1943-44 (?) refit;
  • The center turret removal is mentioned in the service history, but I just removed it from the infobox. This article was written years ago, and I've moved away from including refits in the box to avoid clutter.
• links: suggest adding links for the French 10th and US 66th Divisions;
  • We have an article for the American unit, but not one for the French one
• in the References section: this is inconsistent: "Annapolis: Naval Institute Press" v. "Annapolis, MD: Naval Institute Press";
  • Fixed
• Further reading section: the harvnb script seems to be identifying quite a few "harv" anchor errors (minor nitpick - not a GA criterion);
  • All fixed
• Further reading section: "Les cuirassés français de 23,500 tonnes" --> is it possible to add an English translation of this title?
  • Good idea
• Images: "File:Bretagne Brassey's.png" --> I suggest changing the licence to "PD-US-1923".
  • Done.
  • @Parsecboy: Not sure if you have seen these comments at all, but if you have, can you please let me know what you think? Cheers, AustralianRupert (talk) 02:02, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
    • Yeah, I've just been pretty busy lately. Thanks for the review. Parsecboy (talk) 11:45, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
      • No worries, thanks for your changes. I will pass the article now. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 22:32, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
