I'll take a look at this one. I think it may be quite similar to HMS Lord Clive which I reviewed before and Sturmvogel 66 did a commendable job there. simongraham (talk) 11:09, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

Criteria

The six good article criteria:

• Well written

the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct; and

it complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout etc.

• Verifiable

it contains a list of all references, presented in accordance with the layout style guideline;

all inline citations are from reliable sources;

it contains no original research; and

it contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism.

• Broad in its coverage

it addresses the main aspects of the topic; and

it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail.

• Neutral

it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to different points of view.

• Stable

it does not change significantly from day to day because of any ongoing edit war or content dispute.

• Illustrated

images are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content; and

images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.

Review

A very well written article on a little known vessel. A couple of comments.

• There is a discrepancy between the cruising speed in the infobox and in the text (12 km/h; 7 mph and 12.0 km/h; 7.5 mph respectively). I think this is a rounding error.
  • Trials speed was 7.42 knots, but she only made 7.0 knots in service. I always list whichever is lower as it's more representative of what she could actually do.
• As there has only been one vessel in the Royal Navy named General Craufurd, should the title be HMS General Craufurd as per WP:NCS?
  • I didn't think about that until after I'd already nominated the article. I'll move it once you finish the review.

@Sturmvogel 66: I hope that you nominate another article on this class of ships. If so, I look forward to reading it. simongraham (talk) 19:17, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

• That's nice to hear. I do intend to do the rest of the class, and, in the fullness of time, all the other monitors as well.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:19, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
