- Pass/Fail:
- Under "Mediterranean operations, 1916-1918", second paragraph, it is written: "Of all the responsibilities given the two ships, the most important was to guard the Eastern Mediterranean against a breakout by Goeben." This seems a little POV to me, as I don't get a sense from the paragraph about why this operation was the "most important." Even a little more citation could help this out: "According to John Smith, a World War I naval historian, the most important responsibility was..." That way, you've attributed the POV and it doesn't look like it was just the bias of the article writer.
- Done.
- Same paragraph, "She was given a short refit at Malta in October 1918." To someone who doesn't know much about World War I, this sentence may be a bit unclear as to who "she" is referring to since, per the last sentence it could look as if it is referring to either the Lord Nelson or the Goeben.
- Done.
- Per WP:LEAD, the introduction should cover all major sections of the article and should not contain any facts that are not presented in the main body. There is currently nothing in the lead from the "Construction and description" section, and the first two sentences of the lead are not present in the body. Solving one, however, is likely to solve the other as well, haha.
- Typically I don't put ship stats into the lead as they're hard to summarize and I've had articles pass FAC without doing so.
- The second external link needs to be more than a bare URL.
- Agreed.
And that's about it! I am going to put the article on hold for a period of up to seven days so that changes can be made. I'm always open to discussion, so if you think I'm wrong on something leave your thoughts here and we'll discuss. I'll be checking this page at least daily, unless something comes up in real life, so you can be sure I'll notice any comments left here. Canadian Paul 16:38, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Lord Nelson or Marlborough
[edit]Which ship conveyed Grand Duke Nicholas out of Russia? The articles on the Grand Duke and the HMS Marlborough state that it was the Marlborough...was the HMS Lord Nelson present in some sort of support role? 75.50.151.135 (talk) 21:06, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
- According to Frances Welch's The Russian Court at Sea: The Voyage of HMS Marlborough, April 1919, Marlborough took a number of royals, including Grand Duke Nicholas and his family, from the Crimea to Constantinople. There Nicholas and his family disembarked and transferred to Lord Nelson, and were taken to Genoa, while the rest of the royals sailed on to Malta aboard Marlborough.
