I'll take this one, comments to follow in due course. Zawed (talk) 23:53, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

Infobox

• I think you need a cite for the namesake. Everything else appears to be cited in the body of the article

Design and description

• The conversion of hp to kw is different to what is listed in the infobox

Service history

• "...and she had to return." Return to Portsmouth?
• The lead mentions she was recommissioned at the start of the war so presumably she was decommissioned - maybe in 1909? This, and the recommissioning, isn't explicitly stated in the body of the article

Fate

• I initially read this as taking place while she was sailing to the Nore with the German prisoners (from the previous section) until I read the linked article for the 22 Sept action. The start of this section needs to provide better context, Eg Cressy was on patrol...
• "By the time that Drummond ordered...": No context for Drummond, presumably the ship's captain?

References

• Admittedly a real nitpick even by my standards but shouldn't the order of Friedman references be reversed so they are in chronological order?

Other stuff

• Image tags look appropriate
• No duplicate links
• No dab links
• Checklinks tools says the wrecksite.eu (which is in the external links section of the article) is suspicious but the link works for me so make of that what you will...

Apart from the issues noted above, this is reasonably comprehensive article, well sourced and cited. I'll check back in a few days to check where this is at. Cheers. Zawed (talk) 08:25, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

All done. Very helpful comments.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 10:36, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Missed one, which I have fixed. Passing as GA. Zawed (talk) 00:07, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
