I'll get to this shortly.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 21:34, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

• One DAB, external links OK
  • Will have to address that later - for some reason, the dablink checker is blocked at work.
    • {{sclass-|King George V|battleship|4||1911}} is what you're looking for, IIRC. Choose the digit for all the usual sclass- options.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 20:07, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
      • Ah, yes, missing the extra pipe. Thanks.
• Images appropriately licensed. Can you find a decent one to illustrate her late- or post-war appearance?
  • Nothing on the USN's site, but the IWM has this one that should be usable. Only from 1917 though.
    • Better than nothing.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 20:07, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
      • Will get to this tonight or tomorrow morning - the photo is kind of fuzzy so I might try to clean it up a bit before I upload it. Parsecboy (talk) 21:21, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

• Link decommissioned, scrap, displaced, main battery, funnels, secondary battery, AA guns, magazines, salvo, flying-off ramp
  • Done all but flying-off ramp - do we have an article for that?

      • Thanks
• The four Iron Duke-class battleships were ordered in the 1911 building programme, and were an incremental improvement over the preceding King George V class, the primary change being the substitution of a heavier secondary battery. Might be worth splitting in half.
  • Done
• combat loading? Howzabout deep load with a link?
  • Done
• one forward and one aft; of what?
  • Clarified
• machinery spaces What kind of machinery
  • Clarified
• The typical routine of gunnery drills and squadron exercises occurred in January. awkward

  • Indeed
• Which of Burt's books are you using?
  • Moved the other one to Further reading
