I'll be reviewing this article shortly. Ealdgyth - Talk 15:01, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   couple of prose spots that need polish

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   Just a couple of questions about the shipwreck

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

• Lead:
  • "...France upon her arrival in early June." arrival where? It's implied that it's England but better to be clear.
    • Agreed.
• Design:
  • Should it be Parsons-geared? I'm honestly not sure though...
    • No, Parsons is the manufacturer, while geared is the type of turbine.
• Operational history:
  • Since you've changed headings here, suggest adding the year to "After the ship commissioned on 21 April..."
    • Done.
  • Link for Sheerness?
    • Done.
• Transfer:
  • Suggest heading of "Transfer to the Royal Canadian Navy" rather than the acroynym.
    • Done.
  • short explanation of ASDIC to avoid making folks click through to figure out what it is?
    • I added sonar in parentheses. Not sure if that's really enough, but I think that's a far more well-known term.
  • "The ship escorted the convoy bringing most of the 1st Canadian Infantry Division to part way to Britain in mid-December." Something is off here... did you mean "..Division part way to Britain" or "...Division to Britain"?
    • Fixed.
• Has the shipwreck been found? Or was she salvaged?
  • I can find nothing about any salvage, but she must have been as she sank in a shipping channel of the Gironde Estuary and presumably would have been blocking traffic.

I've put the article on hold for seven days to allow folks to address the issues I've brought up. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, or here with any concerns, and let me know one of those places when the issues have been addressed. If I may suggest that you strike out, check mark, or otherwise mark the items I've detailed, that will make it possible for me to see what's been addressed, and you can keep track of what's been done and what still needs to be worked on.
