GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a. (prose, spelling, and grammar):  
    suggest, in the lead "In 1916, Milbrook responded with the Grand Fleet to the bombardment..."
    Amended.
    In Design and development, drop the hyphen in "earlier L-class"
    Removed.
    suggest "It transpired that the rumoured German warships did not exist."
    Amended.
    "feeding Brown-Curtiss..." Brown-Curtiss <what?> also in the infobox it says Parsons
    Clarified, in both cases.
    "less; <missing word here?> sister ship Murray"
    Removed the reference to Murray.
    "The anti-aircraft guns were later replaced by <single?> 2-pdr"?
    Added.
    link Cromarty and say it is on the east coast of Scotland
    Added.
    suggest "After the battle ended" instead of "After the end of the battle"
    Amended.
    Move the link to Scapa Flow to first mention
    Moved.
    "During the following year, Marne"?
    Amended.
    "The Ddivision"
    Corrected.
    b. (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):  
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a. (reference section):  
    b. (citations to reliable sources):  
    c. (OR):  
    d. (copyvio and plagiarism):  
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a. (major aspects):  
    b. (focused):  
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:  
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:  
  6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
    a. (images are tagged and non-free content have non-free use rationales):  
    The licence doesn't look right to me. The link at RMG just says the author of the photograph is unknown, it doesn't say they were RN (and therefore Crown copyright). Is there any evidence it was taken by a RN photographer? Has it been published in books which credit a RN photographer, for example? Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 11:09, 10 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
    Replaced with a photo of a different sister ship, which has the photographer named.
    Yep, that one is fine, definitely an RN photographer. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 04:03, 13 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
    b. (appropriate use with suitable captions):  
    Presuming the image licensing can be sorted, the image is appropriate (sister ship) and the caption is fine. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 11:09, 10 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
  7. Overall:
    Pass/fail:  

(Criteria marked   are unassessed)
