Comments

1. Any image would improve it but I understand if one is not available

1. I wish I had one available.

1. There is a discrepancy between the text maximum draft of 8.6 meters (28 ft 3 in) and the inf box 8.6 meters (28 ft)

1. Fixed.

1. Same with the speed Friedland reached 13.3 knots (24.6 km/h; 15.3 mph) to 13 knots (24 km/h; 15 mph)

1. That deliberate; the lower figure is the speed reached in service while the higher one is what she achieved on trials.

1. Can you look at this as its not immediately clear you mean the same type of guns Two 274-millimetre Modèle 1870 guns were mounted in barbettes on the upper deck, one gun at the forward corner of the battery, with the remaining six guns on the battery deck below the barbettes

1. Clarified.

1. In the Armament sub heading the measurements are mixed it starts off with metric first 274-millimeter (10.8 in) then turns around with imperial first 476.2-pound (216.0 kg) shell and other examples in that section - The section below has it metric first imperial second throughout.

1. My source for gun data uses English measurements even for French guns which are named in metric.

1. The Armour section is very small at three sentences can it be expanded or incorporated in the section above Armaments and armour ?

1. Done.

1. Per WP:CITESHORT the notes need the year of publication added, one has the others don't.

1. That's a guideline, not a requirement.

1. Reference 3 Silverstone, p. 62 is not in the bibliography --Jim Sweeney (talk) 12:53, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
