I'll take this one as well. Comments: Lead

Suggest linking 12-inch guns
- Done
she was reorganized into the Home Fleet is potentially confusing, perhaps reword as transferred to the Home Fleet when the Mediterranean Fleet was reorganized into a squadron of it' or something similar
- That works for me.
and converted 'was' may be necessary here
- Fixed

More later. Kges1901 (talk) 02:21, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - I've fixed the Design section issues you highlighted in the Montagu/Cornwallis reviews, so hopefully that'll save you a little time ;) Parsecboy (talk) 17:22, 24 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Operational history

In general, you have year duplication in this section
- Fixed
four surviving sister ships of the Duncan class could just be 'surviving sister ships' and not mention class
- Done
abolished temporarily suggest 'temporarily abolished'
- Done
Duncan and her four Duncan-class sisters, as well as the battleships of the King Edward VII class, temporarily were transferred no need to mention class name again, suggest 'were temporarily transferred' instead
- Done
Albemarle and the rest of the 3rd Squadron Shouldn't that be Duncan instead?
- Indeed
use the fleet in an active way Suggest 'use the fleet for active operations'
- Sounds good to me
neutral Greece 'neutral' is redundant
- Good catch
dup link Salonika
- Fixed
operations against Greek royalists what exactly were these operations?
- Added a bit of detail on this
Is the shipbreaking company notable enough for a link?
- Probably not
Suggest adding at least one image to the body, as the service history has no media currently
- I don't know that there's a good option - I could do a map, but the ship kind of bounced around during the war and wasn't particularly active in any single area

How about File:HMS Duncan (1901) in 1908.jpg?

"Probably Royal Navy" is not good enough - we need to know who took it and when it was published. Parsecboy (talk) 21:18, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Does Burt not have image credits? There is also the ship badge on commons. Kges1901 (talk) 21:33, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No, he doesn't attribute any of the photos. I don't know what use the badge would be, apart from purely decorative. Unfortunately, the British pre-dreadnoughts don't have many pictures of them available online (that are easily provable to be in the public domain - my go-to resource is the NHHC's collection, but for whatever unknown reason, it doesn't include many British ships).

That's all I have. Kges1901 (talk) 17:02, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
