Will review soon. Hog Farm Talk 22:22, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Wouldn't it make more sense to bold Conway in the lead in the article actually about that ship than here, where the article is about the ship class as a whole so Conway isn't a synonym for the article subject?
  • The lead states that Conway ran aground in 1956, but it appears that 1953 is the correct year for that based on the body and HMS Conway (school ship)
  • Post-conversion complement of London from the infobox doesn't seem to be supported in the article body
  • As built tons burthen between the infobox and the body do not match
  • Likewise the table lists a burning date of 1956 which doesn't appear to be correct?
    • Good catches all
  • "The latter ship was commissioned in 1851 as the flagship of Vice-Admiral Josceline Percy, Commander-in-Chief, The Nore, at Sheerness." - table lists a commission date of 1841 for this vessel; was there a decommissioning period that is being glossed over?
    • Not at all, see the bit about "in ordinary" in the lede.
  • Was Rodney sold for scrap in 1882 as stated in the table or 1872 as stated in the article body?
  • Was London scrapped in 1884 as stated in the table or 1894 as stated in the article?
  • Please double-check the ISBN for Lambert 1991 - there seems to be some sort of error there but I've also seen that as as false positive
    • It's what's printed in the book. It's coded to prevent it from registering in an incorrect ISBN category.

Will do spot-checks once the above are resolved; it'll probably be Saturday before I can get to this. Hog Farm Talk 23:35, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for catching all the typos. See if my changes are satisfactory.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 16:30, 29 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! To satisfy the spot-checking requirement which was added to the GA review process, could you please give the quotes from the underlying sources which support the following statements:

  • The quote of "the last survivor of the wooden steam battlefleet"
    • "Constructive total loss, burnt during breaking up on 31 October 1956. The last survivor of the wooden steam battlefleet."
  • "London became the depot ship at Zanzibar from 1874 to 1884 "
    • "Harbour ship at Zanzibar, 4.1874" "Sold to be broken up 1884 at Zanzibar."
  • "These guns made the Rodney-class ships the most powerful warships in the world when designed because they were the first to carry a full array of long guns that were accurate at long range."
    • "Seppings's 90-gun ships were the most powerful warships in the world when designed. They were the first to carry a full armament of long guns for accurate fire at ranges outside of previous battles."--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 09:11, 30 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
