I'll take a look at this one. Harrias ^talk 10:47, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

Sorry, busy week.

• Add an article description.

References

• Are all suitably formatted in a consistent style to reliable sources. (No action needed).

Images

• Are all suitably tagged with appropriate captions except for File:French cruiser Guichen NH 78936.jpg; a bit of stray code in the Commons description for that one I think. Harrias ^talk 13:32, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
  • Ah, it was a bracket issue that broke the template, good catch

Prose

• "..to the larger Royal Navy.." Clarify that the Royal Navy is British.
  • Good idea
• Wikilink materiel, otherwise someone at some point will change it to material, assuming it is a typo.
  • Done
• "..for a top speed of 23.5 knots (43.5 km/h; 27.0 mph) Coal storage amounted.." Missing full-stop.
  • Good catch
• "The sloped portion increased in thickness to 100 mm (4 in), though toward the bow and stern, it was reduced to 40 mm (1.6 in)." In the infobox, the imperial figures are given as 1.6 to 3.9 in, rather than 1.6 to 4 in.
  • Fixed
• "Guichen was built Ateliers et Chantiers de la Loire shipyard Nantes.." This feels like it is missing a couple of words: maybe "Guichen was built at Ateliers et Chantiers de la Loire shipyard in Nantes.." or "Guichen was built by Ateliers et Chantiers de la Loire at their shipyard in Nantes.."
  • Fixed, wonder what I was doing when I wrote that ;)
• "The ship was launched on 26 October 1897. Guichen was completed in 1899." Not keen on the short, snappy sentences; maybe blend them together?
  • Merged
• Wikilink French Indochina.
  • Done. Thanks Harrias! Parsecboy (talk) 01:13, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
