Close paraphrasing/copyvio review

• Earwig's Copyvio Detector reports that a copyright violation is unlikely.
• I am assuming good faith on the sources that I cannot access.
• Random spot checks for close paraphrasing:
  • The following year, Principe Amedeo was involved in a collision with the ironclad Roma during a hurricane, though neither ship was damaged (article) versus The ironclad Roma was forced from her moorings and carried broadside against the iron-clad Principe Amadeo. Fortunately, both iron-clads escaped without serious injury.
    • No close paraphrasing detected.
  • Palestro and Principe Amedeo were both armed with a main battery of six 10 in (254 mm) guns, though they were mounted differently in each ship. Principe Amedeo carried hers in a single armored casemate located amidships, while Palestro's guns were mounted in three armored casemates. The first was located forward, toward the bow, the second and third were placed close to the stern on each side of the ship (article) versus The palestro had three armoured casemates, one beginning some 20ft from the bows, protecting the 11in chaser gun and two 10ingun, another beginning 33ft from the stern and contain two starboard two port 10in gun, and the third protected the stern. The Principe Amedeo had one central casemate, contain all six 10in guns, it too proected with 5in plates. (source)

  • In the late 1880s, both ships were withdrawn from frontline service and employed as headquarters ships for the defense of Taranto—Principe Amedeo—and La Maddalena—Palestro. (article) versus The Palestro served from 1889 to 1894 as the headquarters ship of the defense of La Maddalena.... The Principe Amedeo served as the headquarters ship for the defence of Taranto in 1888-9 (source)

  • The ships were barque-rigged to supplement the steam engine; Principe Amedeo and her sister were the last rigged ironclad to be built by Italy. The ships' sail area were 36,738 square feet (3,413.1 m2) for Principe Amedeo and 37,361 sq ft (3,471.0 m2) for Palestro (article) versus Rigged as barques, and with sail areas of 37,361 sq ft (Palestro) and 36,738 sq ft (Principe Amedeo), they were the last Italian wooden ironclads, and the last to be provided with sails.

Grammar/spelling/MoS review

• Both ships also carried a 11 in (279 mm) gun that was mounted forward as a bow chaser.
  • The wrong indefinite article is used. The word a should be changed to an.

Other comments

• No disambiguation links.
• No broken external links.
• Article is neutral and stable.
• Coverage of the subject is broad and stays on topic.

Summary

Great article. There was a minor grammatical error, but it has been fixed. Additionally, I added "unknown photographer" to the image summary of File:Italian ironclad Palestro.jpg since the original source does not credit a photographer. I have no further concerns, so this article passes: --Khanate General ☪ talk ^{project mongol conquests} 11:20, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
