• External links OK
• Link grounding incident to [[Ship grounding|ran aground]], also link sea trials
  • Added both
• Add a redlink to Caubet if you can figure out his first name
• Silverstone, p. 115, says that she struck a rock during trials on 2 Feb '11 and was damaged by a hurricane off southern France on 22 Feb 1914. I wonder if this was the grounding incident that you referred to? Also she was discarded 14 June '36 and hulked at Landevennec, near Brest. She was scuttled at Brest on 18 June 1940 and presumably broken up during the war.
  • That's probably correct for the 1914 damage - Milan isn't particularly clear in h is account (though in fairness he was only assigned to the ship on 1 August), and added the rest
• Don't forget about the ampersands for the references.
  • Oops, added.
• Photo is appropriately licensed. Might be worth adding a line diagram.
  • I tried to find one, but for some reason Brassey's skipped this class - presumably because the design was similar enough to Ernest Renan. Parsecboy (talk) 20:49, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

Looks good, but you forgot to include torpedos, of whatever size they actually were, in the infobox and add links to scrapping and funnels to all articles. I'd missed those at first glance.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 21:13, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

Added/fixed all. Parsecboy (talk) 11:55, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
