I'll get to this shortly.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 02:38, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
- On a geologic scale? :P Parsecboy (talk) 12:59, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
- Well, now that you mention it.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 13:12, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
- No DABs, any reason to keep the hazegray link?
- No, I just hadn't looked at it ;)
- Images appropriately licensed
- After three of the four destroyers were sunk or badly damaged and forced to withdraw and South Dakota inadvertently drew heavy Japanese fire by sailing too closely to Admiral Nobutake Kondō's squadron, Washington used the darkness to inflict fatal damage on the Japanese battleship Kirishima and the destroyer Ayanami, disrupting Kondō's planned bombardment of marine positions on Guadalcanal. Unpack this, please.
- See if how I reworded it works for you
- Better, but I wonder if the prefatory bit about the DDs should be dropped as not really relevant since it's still a very long sentence.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 14:02, 30 May 2019 (UTC)
- Fine by me

- Campaign should be capitalized in the lede and elsewhere if you're referring to specific campaigns.
- Hmm, this needs to be addressed on a wider basis, since we have Guadalcanal Campaign but Gilbert and Marshall Islands campaign and Mariana and Palau Islands campaign - I'll raise the issue at MILHIST
- Yeah, just a little disconnect between article title policy and grammar. Great Fire of Smyrna is another example.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 14:02, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

- improved anti-aircraft batteries Awkward. Better and more numerous guns were added.
- Works for me
- <snicker> Wasn't really a suggestion on phrasing, just trying to convey the actual changes.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 14:02, 30 May 2019 (UTC)
- Haha, I wondered about that - but I guess I've gotten too comfortable with Peacemaker making suggestions for me ;)

- Works for me
- Tell the reader what the SK, SR and SG radars were
- SK and SG are already introduced in that para, clarified what the SR was
- Hyphenate surface search and link jammer
- Early-warning radar is our article on air-search radars. There's no separate article on surface search radars, just a section of the overall radar configurations article, so probably not worth a link.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 14:02, 30 May 2019 (UTC)
- Linked
