- 1975b lists "F.P.D.S." as the publisher, but 1975a does not: I'm not fussed which format you use, but be consistent.
Images
- File:French Provence Class Ironclad 1863.jpg needs a US PD tag.
- File:Das französische Ostseegeschwader auf seiner Rückreise vor Helgoland 26 September 1870 Illustrirte Zeitung vom 5 November 1870 Von links GUYENNE THETIS FLANDRE OCÈAN SURVEILLANTE.jpg needs correct details adding: the image clearly isn't from "17 June 2015": if it was, then the PD tags are incorrect. I am unsure as to what "Verschiedene" means for both Source and Author, but again, I doubt they should be the same.
- It means various; entirely unsuitable for an image on Commons.
Prose
- Ironclad is linked twice in the lead, Chase gun is linked twice in the Armament and protection section.
- "..one of ten Provence-class ironclad armored frigates built.." Can we avoid this WP:SEAOFBLUE?
- "Together with the ironclad Magenta, the ship visited Plymouth, England, on 17–19 July." Is it worth expanding that this was for the Exhibition of the Royal Agricultural Society? [1]
- Dammit, I couldn't figure out why they were there for the life of me, but not being able to access this link might explain why not.
- "The Austrian screw frigate Frederick, Capt. Whiplinger, which has been at Plymouth in consequence of the Exhbition of the Royal Agricultural Society, was under orders on Saturday to leave the Sound of Cherbourg.
The French ship of war Magenta, Capt. Lebris, the frigate La Flandre, Capt. Bachine, and the gunboat Ariel, Commander Poirier d'Hauterive, which have also been at Plymouth during the last week in consequence of the Exhibition, left the Sound by the Eastern Channel on Saturday evening for Cherbourg." – "Naval and Military Intelligence". The Times. No. 25245. London. 24 July 1865. col B, p. 12. template uses deprecated parameter(s) (help)- Added with my thanks.

- Some information here about some gun trials she was involved in?
- If you can give me enough info to find these links some other way, I'll be happy to add the info.

- Email sent. I'll hold off adding this material until I see what exactly it covers.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 11:47, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
- Many thanks. It was very handy as I'm going to work on the articles for the other warships very soon.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 14:08, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
- Incidentally, I get my Times access through Gale at the Wikipedia Library: [2]. Not sure if it would work for you? Harrias talk 09:53, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

- "In January 1867, Flandre collided with the British merchantman Brutus in the Atlantic Ocean. Brutus sank with the loss of ten of her fourteen crew." Do we know if there was any diplomatic fall out from this?
- None that I know of.
Overall, another tidy piece of work with little to fault. Harrias talk 07:58, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
