Talk:Italian ironclad Re d'Italia

A safe has been found on the shipwreck: https://www.total-croatia-news.com/lifestyle/30661-divers-find-safe-of-ancient-ship-re-d-italia https://archaeologynewsnetwork.blogspot.com/2018/08/divers-find-mysterious-safe-of-19th.html http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2018-08/28/c_137425870.htm I would try to update the page, but the citation and referencing in Wikipedia has become so complex I do not understand it, (i.e, what is GA Review mean?).

Might as well review this one as well since I've just done the sister ship. Zawed (talk) 08:27, 11 February 2016 (UTC) Comments as follows:

• as with the sister ship article, some inconsistencies between the infobox and text; there are a number of characteristics including displacement, no. boilers, range, and armament among others.
  • Seems I forgot to correct the infobox when I rewrote the article. Should all be correct now.
• the bulkheads, although mentioned in the infobox, are not discussed in the text. It may need a cite.
  • Dunno where that came from, it's not mentioned in Conway's
• suggest breaking the 1st paragraph of the service history section into two, as per the comment on the GA review for the sister ship.
  • See if what I added makes it a smoother transition.
• link Adriatic?
  • Done
• First paragraph of the Battle of Lissa section; Persano mentioned twice in the final sentence, suggest second usage be replaced with he.
  • Good idea
• "Persano decided to leave his flagship"; instead of his flagship, consider using Re d'Italia just to reinforce to the reader which ship he was originally (I know it is mentioned previously, but I had to go back and doublecheck.
  • Good point
• references: missing Sondhaus (see notes 4 and 7). Also Ordovini is listed but not actually cited.
  • Added Sondhaus and moved Ordovini to a further reading section. Thanks for reviewing both of these articles. Parsecboy (talk) 20:12, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Overall, other than the issues identified above, this article reads well, is fully cited and neutral in tone, and has reasonable coverage of the subject. The tags on the images appear appropriate. That's it for me, I will check back in a few days. Cheers. Zawed (talk) 08:46, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

• Good work, passing as GA. Zawed (talk) 08:39, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
