• Where did her conversion to Atlanta take place?
  • Early 1863 is when it began, but no firm date is given. She ran trials in July as I mentioned.
• Run on sentence: "Atlanta successfully passed through them on 19 March, but deserters revealed his plan to attack the Union base at Port Royal, South Carolina while the monitors were attacking Charleston while Tatnall was waiting at the head of Wassaw Sound."
  • Fixed.
• Tense flipping: "Webb demonstrating his aggressiveness when he attempted to sortie on the first spring tide (30 May) after taking command, but his forward engine broke down after he had passed the obstructions, and Atlanta ran aground."
  • Fixed
• "A lookout aboard Weehawken spotted Atlanta at 0410 on the morning of 17 June." -- MOS is 04:10 I believe. Also, what time zone?
  • Good catch, but time zones didn't exist back then.
• "As Atlanta" section: Atlanta should be italicized on all references.
  • I think that I caught them all.
• "Relics" section is very short, and should be either expanded or merged.
  • Done.
• Any information on the cost of construction or remodeling?
  • No.
• The infobox should specify which iteration of the ship it is.
  • Really? The UK flag and stats as a merchantman are before the Confederate/US flags and ironclad stats. Plus it explicitly calls her a casemate ironclad.
• Dup links tool shows three results: Bermuda; Beam; Depth of hold.
  • That's what I get for having to use two sets of specs. Fixed.
• Dab links tool returns one result. External links tool shows one dead link.
  • Ordnance in the broader sense is appropriate because she carried four artillery pieces and many rifles, in addition to all sorts of ammo and other military supplies. I can actually provide her cargo manifest in great detail if you'd like, but I think that it's really more detail than is appropriate. Would you like for me to be a little more specific on her cargo without going into too much detail? Dead link deleted. Thanks for the review.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:06, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
