One dupe link
"Most of her crew survived the sinking and was rescued by the Japanese" - I think in BrEng, this should be "and were rescued"
- I always get mixed up on how the Brits treat collective nouns
While we're on the subject, watch for ENGVAR - I spy an "armor"
Good catch.
Grad Spee did not have a 203mm secondary battery
- You, of all people, should know that one off the top of your head.
"At 06:30, Langsdorff switched..."
"...repeated unsuccessful..." - need a comma after repeated
I'd shift the photo in the Modifications section to the right (and maybe move it up to the top of the section) so it doesn't mess with the headers below it
There are other photos available of the ship on history.navy.mil - for instance, I think this one would be a much better replacement for the overhead shot in the Design section. The one currently in the article is pretty washed out and hard to see. Parsecboy (talk) 20:56, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- I initially rejected the overhead photo because of the sun shades obscuring things, but I reconsidered after adjusting the contrast on the one that you suggested, and have added it. What do you think about swapping the sinking photo for one of the ones from the bow?
  - I had looked at that one too - it's a shame that neither one of them is particularly good, but I guess you can't expect more given the circumstances. I could really go either way. Parsecboy (talk) 12:08, 19 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
