HMS Benbow (1913) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Figured I ought to join the British battleship fun Sturmvogel has been having lately. This ship was one of the Royal Navy's most powerful ships at the outbreak of World War I, though like the rest of the Grand Fleet, she didn't see much action, even at Jutland. Thanks to all who take the time to review the article. Parsecboy (talk) 16:52, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • I have only one suggestion to make and that is to implement Template:sfn for citation of books and/or journals. Reason being is that it creates a link from the citation to the work cited, for the convenience of the reader. –Vami_IV✠ 14:07, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • I don't generally use the sfn template unless it's already in the article, or I'm going to be copying citations from an article that uses it - if someone else wants to make the change, I'm not opposed to it, but I don't think it's really worth the effort to switch 60 or so footnotes manually.

  • All tool checks ok, Earwig reveals no issues with close paraphrase or copyviolations [1] (no action req'd).
  • Images all appear to be PD and have the req'd information / tags. Captions look ok to me.
  • "...in support of Beatty's Battlecruiser Fleet..." Who is Beatty?
    • Good catch
  • "...Jellicoe had intended to use the Harwich Force to sweep..." Who is Jellicoe?
    • Fixed
  • "...credit for the hits cannot be given..." perhaps "could not" instead of "cannot" (tense).
    • Good idea
  • I made some edits to *hopefully) correct I few things, pls check and amend where necessary [2].
    • All of your changes look good to me.
  • "Marder, p. 424" appears as a shortcite but there is no corresponding work in the references that I could see.
    • Ha - I went to copy the citation over from HMS Marlborough and that article had the same problem!
  • Otherwise this looks very good to me. Anotherclown (talk) 00:48, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
