- I'll get to this shortly.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 09:51, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
- No DABs
- when did Wilkinson die?
- That I don't know, which is why it's here and not on Commons (that and I hate the Commons uploader)
- Is there nothing on the IWM's website? Or the NHHC?
- For whatever reason the NHHC has very very few British ships in their collection - I can't imagine they don't have the photos, but they aren't online. And there's nothing on IWM for this Exmouth, unfortunately.
- During this time she underwent several refits, two of which occurred in Malta. I think that this might be a bit much for the lede.
- Good point
- Link Birkenhead, Devonport, accommodation ship in the lede
- Done
- response to Russian Peresvet-class battleships to "the" Russian
- Whoops
- 12 in (305 mm) thick sides compound adjective, should be 12-inch-thick sides. Doesn't need a conversion, BTW.
- Fixed
- continued in her capacity as flagship as a Channel Fleet unit Awkward
- I really need to pay more attention to the pre-war stuff - it's becoming clear that it needs a lot more than ref updates and link fixes.
- Some overlinking.
- Fixed
- Link reserve, gale, Zanzibar, paid off,
- Done
- Exmouth and battleships Agamemnon "the" battleships
- Fixed
- at the time, Albemarle and the rest of the 3rd Squadron copy-paste, I presume
- Indeed
- I'm confused. The ship was transferred to the Channel Fleet, but remained on the Northern Patrol?
- The formal reassignment was made on 2 November, but the ships didn't all get down to the Channel Fleet for a few days
- which were reasoned made it safer Suggest "believed"
- Done
- and landing Royal Marines landed
- Done
- In the infobox, add gun size conversions for the pounders and link scrapping and knot. And where's your range data?--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 22:20, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
- All done except for range - I don't have a cite for that, as the relevant page in Burt isn't visible on google and Conway's doesn't say. Parsecboy (talk) 02:32, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
- You should have said something, I've got the book, but I was thinking that you were still using the 1988 edition. On page 232, he gives the range as 6070 nmi at 10 knots.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 03:55, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks - I've been able to get by on everything so far by checking the different versions of the book on google - there are three preview-able 2013 editions, plus the 1988 edition has a snippet view if I get really desperate. I'll add the range to the articles. Parsecboy (talk) 12:23, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
- @Sturmvogel 66: - oh, hey, while we're at it, I'm missing that page for the Edward VIIs too - could you scan that page for me for when I get to the class article? Thanks. Parsecboy (talk) 12:33, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
- Sure.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 12:35, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
