I'll go ahead and review this article. PizzaKing13 (Hablame) 17:54, 19 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Infobox edit

  • lowercase "broken up" PizzaKing13 (Hablame) 18:01, 19 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • Does it matter if the length listed is between perpendiculars or overall, or both?
    • It now has both for completeness.
  • The infobox states the draught is "8 ft 5 in" while the body states it is "8 ft 6 in". Which is correct?
    • Probably both and different points in the hull, but the mean is 9 ft according to the source. Amended.

Lead edit

  • Hyphenate "R class" in the second sentence
    • Done.
  • Same for "M class"
    • Done.
  • Insert a comma after "torpedo boats"
    • Done.
  • Start a new paragraph at "After the armistice that ended the war"
    • Done.
  • Remove "However"
    • Done.

Design and development edit

Paragraph 1
  • Hyphenate "M class"
    • Done.
Paragraph 2
  • Comments about the measurements themselves are in the infobox commentary section
    • I have revisited the numbers in this paragraph and ensured that they are consistent with the sources.
  • Lowercase "Displacement" and add "Its" before it
    • Amended.
Paragraph 3

Construction and career edit

Paragraph 1
  • All good
Paragraph 2
  • Add a comma between "hits were reported" and "but the German"
    • Done.
  • Add a comma between "sunk by Sylph" and "and SS Cito"
    • Done.
Paragraph 3
  • All good
Paragraph 4
  • All good
Paragraph 5
  • Do we have a date the break up was completed? PizzaKing13 (Hablame) 18:17, 19 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
    • Unfortunately not in the sources.

Pennant numbers edit

  • All good

References and sources edit

  • All sources are appropriate and are all used
  • Since they have page numbers attached to them, is it possible to move "Dunkirk War Memorial: Naval Arrangements", "Allied Dead at Ostend: Monument Unveiled", "News in Brief", and "Shore Defence Practice on the Thames" into the bibliography section, as the article by Naval Staff Monographs already is?
    • My reasoning is that the items are only a page long, as the sections in The Navy List are.
  • Change "pp" (pages) to "p" (page) in reference 5 (Naval Staff Monograph No. 35 1939, pp. 13.)
    • Done.
  • Navbar and categories are good PizzaKing13 (Hablame) 18:22, 19 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Images edit

  • HMS Rob Roy (1916) IWM SP 1347.jpg  Y properly licensed and appropriate caption, but do we know the second ship's name? I assume that an image of a sister ship is used as there is no free image (or any image) of the Stork? PizzaKing13 (Hablame) 17:59, 19 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
    • That is right. There is no known free image of Stork I have access to, but, as the second ship is unknown, it may be Stork in the background. simongraham (talk) 12:52, 22 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Overall edit

  • No war edits
  • Focused on topic
  • Broad in coverage
  • Layout is good
