(a) media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:

The licence for the image isn't valid, as the author is unknown. It also needs a US PD tag. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:41, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

Replaced image with one with valid PD tags.

Sort of. There is nothing I can find on the IWM site regarding this image or the other images in the DJ Weller collection that explicitly states Weller was an RN member at the time the photograph was taken. The licence really needs to explicitly state that: "given the nature of the photograph, it seems highly likely it was taken by a member of the RN". Not sure how that would fare at Milhist ACR or FAC, but I'd accept it here. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 07:45, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Added. simongraham (talk) 05:47, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

(b) media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:

presuming a valid image/licence is found, then the caption is fine. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:41, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

Overall

1. Well-written
2. Verifiable with no original research
3. Broad in its coverage
