I'll take a look at this shortly. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 13:42, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. I look forward to hearing your comments. --Ykraps (talk) 16:51, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

@Pickersgill-Cunliffe: are you coming back to this? --Ykraps (talk) 18:34, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Yes, just a busy time at work right now. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 18:47, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Lede and infobox

  Done. --Ykraps (talk) 18:16, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

• Link 18-pounder long gun in lede and infobox

  Done. --Ykraps (talk) 18:16, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

• You switch between using "pounder" and "pdr", suggest only using one version for consistency throughout the article

  Done. --Ykraps (talk) 19:32, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

• Suggest "Amiable drove off"

  Done. --Ykraps (talk) 18:16, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

• Link truss

  Done. --Ykraps (talk) 18:16, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

• Considering the size of the article I think that the lede is a tad long. The final paragraph on the mutiny could be shortened to provide slightly less detail on, for example, the exact disciplined meted out

  I've trimmed a bit but I'm keen to keep it a full summary of the article. --Ykraps (talk) 19:01, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

• Probably worth mentioning the French Revolutionary Wars early in the lede just to make it very obvious what we're relating the Peace of Amiens to

  Done. --Ykraps (talk) 18:37, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

• I believe it's normal to link the "in" in "in ordinary" as well (phew, that's a lot of ins!)

  Done. --Ykraps (talk) 18:37, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

• The date of order is only mentioned in the lede, not in main text

  Done. --Ykraps (talk) 18:37, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

• Ibid John Tovey, launch date

  Added launch date to main body. John Tovey? --Ykraps (talk) 19:19, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

  You have John Tovey as the master shipwright in the infobox but he isn't mentioned in main text. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 20:40, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

  Thanks. Added. --Ykraps (talk) 05:08, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

• Give the exact date of sale in the lede, as you do have it

  Done. --Ykraps (talk) 19:01, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

• Remove trailing zeros in measurements, e.g. 143 ft 0 in (43.6 m) becomes 143 ft (43.6 m)

  Done. --Ykraps (talk) 19:12, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

• Add spaces after the colons in the infobox

  Done. --Ykraps (talk) 19:01, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

• Link keel and gundeck in infobox

  Done. --Ykraps (talk) 19:12, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
