I'll get to this shortly.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 20:20, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sort of a drive-dy comment, but I've worked on a number of these British pre-dreadnought articles, and Corbett's official history of the naval campaigns of WWI should be consulted - they contain a wealth of information about these ships' activities during the war. See, for example, how much better-developed HMS Ocean (1898) is as a result. Parsecboy (talk) 17:54, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • The MOS greatly discourages cites in the infobox; please add a full description section that covers all of the information in the infobox with cites. I'd suggest that you use Ocean as a model.
  • In the infobox, add conversions for displacement; link terms like ihp, knot, nautical miles; and explain what kind of engines are 4-cylinder triple expansion.
  • Need to mention exactly where she was stationed before she went into reserve in the lede and give more detail about her activities before and after she went to the Dardanelles.
  • Fate of Montagu not relevant to this ship's history.
  • Fix your overlinks
  • Very nice images, but I'm afraid that none of them are properly licensed. They need to be sourced, check the website of the Imperial War Museum and see if they're there and then reupload them with the proper license.
  • Strongly suggest that you follow Parsecboy's suggestion about sources. Burt's great, but he really can only give you the skeleton of the ship's activities.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 03:24, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
