• I'm wondering if for the displacement in the infobox, you should provide the range, since it was not consistent between all three ships
  • Good idea
• Add range to the infobox, unless you deem it problematic since two different ranges are given (yes, I'm a very big fan of infoboxen)
  • Done
• "The ships were armed with a main battery of six 164 mm (6.5 in) Modèle 1893 45-caliber guns. They were placed in individual pivot mounts; one was on the forecastle, two were in sponsons abreast the conning tower, and the last was on the stern" - Maybe I'm under/overthinking this, but 1x forecastle + 2x conning tower + 1x stern = 4, not 6. Also indicate which conning tower: the primary or the secondary.
  • Good catch, I forgot to mention the other pair
• ", and explosive armor-piercing" - Gloss the AP abbreviation here, because you use it later
  • Done
• Do sources indicate how many torpedos the ships carried?
  • No, unfortunately
• "At the start of World War I in August 1914, she initially operated out of Morocco, patrolling for German U-boats" - Weird phrasing here. The last ship mentioned was sold for scrap, so it's unclear which exact one she is (I'm assuming Cassard)
  • Clarified

I think that's it. A tidy little article. Hog Farm _Bacon 21:52, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
