I'll take a look at this shortly. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 16:31, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

Prelim

• Destroyer is technically a duplicated link but as it's in different sections it's allowed now
  • Good spot though.
• No edit wars
• Image is correctly licensed
• Earwig reports copyvio unlikely

Lede and infobox

• Is there a redirect to this page using a variation of HMS Dragon? If not I don't think you need to bold the name; she never served under it
  • Removed.
• Is 24 August 1922 the date of her decommissioning or her sale for scrapping (or both?)
  • The source says date of sale. Ammended.

Design and development

• Link knots
  • Added.

Construction and career

• "that were all received"
  • Removed.
• Link commissioning
  • Added.
• The First World War is never mentioned in main text
  • Added.
• Was the Battle of Heligoland Bight not on 28 August?
  • It seems that the ships sailed on 27 August but the encounter took place on the following day. Amended.
• "succeeded to drive" > "succeeded in driving"
  • Fixed.
• Link refitted
  • Added.
• "undertaking the varied tasks typical of a destroyer's service at the time" I assume you mean the tasks you then discuss after this sentence, but the reader shouldn't be left to guess
  • Clarified.
• "anti-aircraft guns"
  • Added.
• "which were themselves" > "which was itself"
  • Amended.
• Surely the capture of two German trawlers is a success rather than an incident?
  • True. Amended.
• "flotilla supporting an attack"
  • Added.
• "Lookout again remaining unscathed" any particular actions she took during this engagement?
  • There is nothing specific in the sources.
• Link Plymouth
  • Amended to Devonport as more accurate, and linked.
• What did Lookout do in 1918?
  • The sources do not say much, but I have added what I have.

References

• References look good. AGF on print sources.
• Corbett 1921 is not cited
  • Oops. That looks like confusion between the different volumes. Fixed.
