Will take a look shortly. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 17:19, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

Prelim

• Moored is a duplicated link
• File:Francisque-Bougault.jpg need US PD tag
• No edit wars
• Earwig reports copyvio unlikely

Lede and infobox

• "an Arquebuse-class"
• Launch date differs wildly between lede, infobox, and main text
• Date of being struck differs between infobox and main text
• The fact the boilers are water-tube are not mentioned in main text
  • Du Temple Guyot boilers are a type of water-tube boilers--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 11:31, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

Design and description

• Would prefer a link to Arquebuse-class destroyer rather than the vaguer and less useful ship class
  • Linked in the lede--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 11:35, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
• Suggest saying that the Durandal-class is also destroyers
• Link Canon de 65 mm Modèle 1891
• "one between the funnels" if possible a description of the funnels and their location would make this a more useful statement

Service history

• Link sea trials
  • Already linked in the description section.
• Do we really need to know the French translation of "commissioned"?
• If you're redlinking Northern Squadron in the lede you should probably do so in the main text too
• Considering the Northern Squadron has no article, could you describe what/where this actually was?
• Do we not know what the ship was doing between 1904 and 1911 at all?
  • There's nothing in my sources covering that other than the 1905 assignment.
• "on 27 October 1914" no need to repeat the year
• "as she was moored inboard of Fronde."...and thus could not fire her guns? or similar explanation
• Not totally necessary, but I'm surprised you don't mention the fate of sister ship Mousquet in the same engagement

References

• References look OK. AGF for print sources.
