I'll start this shortly.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:15, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

• One DAB and dead links to the photo sources.
  • Fixed the dead links but the dab checker is apparently blocked at work - can you tell me which one it is?
    • Chatham.
      • Fixed.
• Images appropriately licensed.
• Move horsepower to the power parameter.
  • Done
• Tell the reader what kind of engines
  • Done
    • Swapped in a better link.
• Watch your conversion rounding 14 inch not being 354 mm, etc. And add a conversion in the main body for 13 inch guns. With a hyphen please.
  • All should be fixed now
• four 21 in (530 mm) torpedo tubes in deck mounted torpedo launchers Isn't there some redundancy here?
  • Certainly is.
• Link magazines
  • Done
• How badly was she damaged in her collisions?
  • Don't know - haven't been able to track down any significant details.
• So what did she do during WWI?--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:58, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
  • DANFS doesn't say anything about it - presumably was still used as a training ship. The ship's not mentioned at all in Jones's US Battleship Operations in World War I. Parsecboy (talk) 12:06, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
    • Curiouser and curiouser. But no point in adding a presumably if there's no sourcing. Fix Chatham and we'll be done here.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 16:18, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
      • Yeah, DANFS is can be fairly hit or miss. You'd think the ship's service during WWI might have been, you know, somewhat significant and worth recording, even if it was just training. Sometimes all you can do is scratch your head. Parsecboy (talk) 20:41, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
