I"ll get to this shortly.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 09:13, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

Sorry, not so shortly.

• Where did the photograph come from?
• You need to use more than just combined fleet as a source for the article. I'm fairly certain that Jentschura's Warships of the Imperial Japanese Navy, 1869–1945 and Conway's Fighting Ships have at least some useful info on specifications, etc. And try to find an additional source for her career as well, Rohwer's Chronology of the War at Sea 1939–1945: The Naval History of World War Two (Third Revised ed.) should have something on her activities as well.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:57, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
• There's a misplaced decimal point for the ship's length in both the infobox and the main body.
• Add |lk=on to the convert template to add links to tonnes
• Just about every measurement except knots in the infobox need to be abbreviated.
• Put engine output on a separate line
• We've gotten complaints that our infoboxes are too long. To help shorten them I generally delete manufacturers from the power and propulsion fields.
• Add a conversion for displacement in both the infobox and the main body, using the default British spelling.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 16:12, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
  • @Sturmvogel 66: I think these points should be have been resolved. About the photograph: after a bit of research, it seems to come from the Japanese book "Photographs of All Ships in the Japanese Navy". Lettler^{hello • contribs} 16:56, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
• Cleaned up the infobox a little bit for you
• Trim the fate field down to sunk by X on Y
• Spell out and link Imperial Japanese Army in lede
• Displacing 1,500 tons at standard load, they were powered by one Kampon geared turbine which was driven by one shaft; this in turn was powered by two Kampon 9,500 shaft horsepower (7,100 kW) water-tube boilers. I think that you're trying to cram too much info in a single sentence and it's technically incorrect. I'd suggest breaking this in half after turbine and reworking the rest like: "It drove one [[propeller shaft]] using steam provided by two..."
• As a landing ship, No. 1 was capable
• Tell the reader that the Kō-hyōteki-class submarines are midget subs
• In the second para feel free to use Type numbers for the guns
• We should not have any one paragraph sections. I'd suggest deleting the headers in the history section and combining the first two paragraphs into one.
• Tell the reader that the 43rd Inf Div belonged to the IJA
• floating? Don't you mean drifting?
• bombers of USS Lexington from--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:58, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
  • @Sturmvogel 66: Your concerns should have been addressed. Lettler^{hello • contribs} 17:24, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
    • Looks good, but I made one minor correction. It confuses readers to have to different sets of number adjacent, like Type 98 5-inch... as try often try to merge the numbers together, so I moved the Type designations after the bore size for you.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 01:37, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
