• "was the lead ship of her class of dreadnought battleships, was the third ship of the United States Navy named Wyoming, although it was only the second named in honor of the 44th state." -- Inconsistency in referring to the ship as "she" vs. "it"
  • Fixed
• "where she became the flagship of flagship of Rear Admiral Charles J. Badger, the commander of the Atlantic Fleet."
  • Fixed
• "Early in the war, the Navy briefly considered converting Wyoming back to her battleship configuration, but decided against the plan." -- was this because it was cost ineffective or some other reason?
  • Conway's doesn't say, but presumably because the cost would have been too high for what the returns would have been.
• "Due to her extensive use as a gunnery training ship, she claimed the distinction of firing more ammunition than any other ship in the fleet during the war." -- Is there an estimated number of rounds fired?
  • DANFS has a random sampling from November 1944, but not total figures. Extrapolating from that, I'd wager she fired 2-3 million rounds during the war.
• "Wyoming finished her gunnery training duties in the Chesapeake area on 30 June," -- since this is a new paragraph, I suggest adding the year.
  • Done
• The references should be alphabetized.
  • Fixed
• Four of the images have extra text at the top, which people usually ask me to trim in my own articles (suggestion only)
• Duplicate links tool returns one result, and there is at least one dab link.
  • Fixed
• External links all appear to be working. All images appear to be properly licensed. I see no issues with article stability or neutrality.

Placing the article on hold pending improvements. —Ed!^(talk) 13:55, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
