I will do this one, which looks in good shape anyway. Comments as follows:

Lead[edit]

  • Inconsistent usage of units when discussing primary & second armament, also inch used in full but not millimeters?
    • The 164 mm guns were French (presumably the 164 mm Mle 1858 guns carried by Gloire or the Mle 1860 guns carried by Couronne - the source doesn't specify) but I'd assume the 8-inch guns were British, since the French did not use a gun of this caliber at the time. It's appropriate to give the caliber in the unit of measure used by the designer (for instance, Slava carried Russian 12-inch guns and French 47-mm guns).
  • Not sure the second usage of Austria really necessary
    • Good point

Infobox[edit]

  • the piping for the wikilink to steam engines needs to be made singular
    • Fixed
  • check the conversions for length, draft, and the battery armour to what is in the article text

Design[edit]

  • Meters and ton used in full on first usage but not feet or millimeters
    • Both spelled out
  • The conversion for 8 inch to mm is very slightly different to what is in the lead
    • Fixed

Service history[edit]

  • "Italian fleet"; suggest that this should be the "Italian Regina Marina"
    • Sounds fine to me
  • link Adriatic?
    • Good idea
  • Austrian Navy linked twice
    • Fixed
  • "They there?"
    • Heh - should have been "were"
  • "More dangerously, by stopping Re d'Italia,..."; suggest a little more context for this ship as this appears to be its first mention.
    • Does just adding a link to the ship in the first sentence of that paragraph work?
Yip, works for me. Zawed (talk) 07:27, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That's it for me, will check back in a few days. Cheers. Zawed (talk) 02:28, 30 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The changes made so far look good, but you seem to have overlooked checking the conversions in the infobox? Zawed (talk) 07:27, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Whoops, I did miss that. Thanks for the reminder - should be good now. Parsecboy (talk) 12:58, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
All good, passing as GA. Cheers. Zawed (talk) 08:03, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
