• This might be minor, but you show the abbreviation "RN" for Royal Navy, and the never use that abbreviation. Is it even necessary to mention?
  • I guess not.
• "A gun explosion aboard Magnificent on 14 June 1905 resulted in 18 casualties." -- any idea why the guns exploded? Normally it wouldn't be as important, but those 18 casualties seem to be the only ones the ship ever suffered.
  • Turns out it was a bad shell in one of the 6-inch guns.
• "during this service, she temporarily was flagship of the Commander-in-Chief in November 1907" -- Mention who the Commander-in-Chief was at the time.
• "Her sternwalk was damaged in a collision in December 1910." -- Any idea what she collided with?
  • Conway's doesn't give any other information, and I haven't been able to find anything on it in the old naval annuals and the like.
• "The Majestic-class ships were by then the oldest and least effective battleships in service in the Royal Navy." -- needs its own cite.
  • That's covered by the Burt reference after the following sentence.
• Reference section has a book by a "Carrow" but the footnote says it is "Callow."
  • Should be Callow
• "Carrow" also needs an ISBN
  • ISBNs only go back to the 1970s - it's the same with the ref added for the gun explosion.
• The ISBNs are presented inconsistently. Please include dashes in all or none of them.
  • Fixed.
• Dup link tool shows four results: Chatham Shipyard, Chatham, Royal Navy, and Belfast.
  • Should all be fixed.

Mostly minor things. On hold pending fixing. —Ed!^(talk) 14:14, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
