• Something's wrong with the "Length" line in the infobox.
  • Fixed.
• "On 18 March, Bouvet, together with Charlemagne, Suffren, and Gaulois, was to penetrate deep into the Dardanelles after six British battleships suppressed the defending Turkish fortifications and attack those same fortifications at close range." -- I don't really understand this sentence. Might need a reword.
  • How does it read now?
• "The ship was in poor condition at the time" -- Is there any stated reason why this was the case?
  • Just age - she had been in service for nearly 20 years by then, which is pretty old for ships of the period.
• "Subsequently two British pre-dreadnoughts, HMS Ocean and Irresistible, were sunk and the battlecruiser Inflexible were damaged by the same minefield. " -- I think you should either include HMS in all ship names or none of them. You're pretty good about identifying ships as British of German, so only including the HMS sometimes isn't necessary.
  • Fixed
• FN3 and FN4 need years to distinguish which source they come from.
  • Fixed.
• No duplicate links.
• Please be consistent in the bibliography with identifying locations. Both "Corbett" and "Caresse" don't name the country, while "Palmer" does. It's particularly confusing for Corbett, because there's another town near Nashville called London.
  • Done.

Nothing major. Will check back again soon. —Ed!^(talk) 11:13, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for another review, Ed. Everything should be taken care of. Parsecboy (talk) 12:20, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
