I'll be reviewing this article. I'll give it a read through now and add points as they arise below, although it may be that the review is completed later tonight. Having already had a quick peruse, I expect that they'll all be quick nitpicky in nature as I can certainly tell you've done a few of these already and there's nothing major out of place. :) Miyagawa (talk) 11:54, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Design, second paragraph - could do with wikilinking to barbette.
- Good idea - added.
Operational history - I was going to suggest linking to Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria rather than Diamond Jubilee, but as this forwards to Queen Victoria which you've already linked to, I'd say not to bother.

Dardanelles campaign - could do with a link to waterline (although that's probably me being pedantic!)
- Works for me.
Same section - "She shelled Fort 9 while the fort fired on the mortally damaged battleship HMS Ocean, not ceasing fire until 1835 hours." - Did she shell the fort until 1835, or the fort shelled HMS Ocean, or both? It reads as if the fort was shelling Ocean was until then, is that what is intended?
- Yeah, I can see how that was unclear. It was Majestic that ceased fire at 1835.
Is there any information avaliable about the wreck currently - is it a listed memorial etc?
- Nothing I've been able to find - as far as I know, wrecks are usually only listed as memorials if they were sunk in combat (like the ships sunk at Jutland, for instance).

Like I said, kinda nitpicky! I couldn't see any other issues with the article, and minus the wreck information it's certainly complete (and if nothing is avaliable in any avaliable sources, then it's complete). Happy to promote once those issues are addressed. Miyagawa (talk) 12:08, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reviewing the article! I've added the links you suggested and reworded the one unclear sentence. Parsecboy (talk) 13:08, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's great, happy to promote this one up to GA. Miyagawa (talk) 19:08, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
