"an Arquebuse-class"
Launch date differs wildly between lede, infobox, and main text
Date of being struck differs between infobox and main text
The fact the boilers are water-tube are not mentioned in main text
- Du Temple Guyot boilers are a type of water-tube boilers--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 11:31, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Would prefer a link to Arquebuse-class destroyer rather than the vaguer and less useful ship class
- Linked in the lede--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 11:35, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Suggest saying that the Durandal-class is also destroyers
Link Canon de 65 mm Modèle 1891
"one between the funnels" if possible a description of the funnels and their location would make this a more useful statement

Link sea trials
- Already linked in the description section.
Do we really need to know the French translation of "commissioned"?
If you're redlinking Northern Squadron in the lede you should probably do so in the main text too
Considering the Northern Squadron has no article, could you describe what/where this actually was?
Do we not know what the ship was doing between 1904 and 1911 at all?
- There's nothing in my sources covering that other than the 1905 assignment.
"on 27 October 1914" no need to repeat the year
"as she was moored inboard of Fronde."...and thus could not fire her guns? or similar explanation
Not totally necessary, but I'm surprised you don't mention the fate of sister ship Mousquet in the same engagement

Thanks for the review. See if my changes are satisfactory.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 12:16, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
