Go ahead and link blockade, just for good measure
Isn't fate typically in the infobox?
Not seeing where Jones and Konstam are used, remove or move to further reading.
It's in Category:1863 ships, but 1863 isn't even mentioned in the article.
Hmm. This ironclad is assigned to the Gauloise class at List of ironclad warships of France; while this article gives the Provence class. Gauloise is cited to " Chesnau, Roger and Kolesnik, Eugene (Ed.) Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships, 1860–1905". Presumably, one of these is wrong, and one of the pages will need to be corrected.
- The French wiki seperates the class into the first three completed and then the seven later ships for some reason. That's not followed by either of my French-language sources or any of the English-language ones either.
I'd almost go with one image for space considerations, and use the one actually of this ship. This is an editorial choice, though.
- I debated that myself, but decided to stick with the model photo because it's much better quality than the ship photo.

That's all I can find though. Nice work; all minor except for the class query. While if the Gauloise class is an error, you technically don't have to update the list page, but I'd strongly recommend it. Hopefully you can track down a copy of Chesnau and Kolesnik, their text is likely to be highly relevant. Hog Farm _Bacon 15:20, 18 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Campbell wrote the French chapter in Chesneau and Kolesnik. You're much more thorough than I generally am in these reviews. I'd never had bothered to follow the link to the list and I only just might have caught the mistake in the category.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 14:47, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
