Was the range 3,440 nmi or 3,450 nmi? One is provided in the infobox and the other in the body

Great spot. That was a typo.

The laid down date in the infobox is 25 October 1915, while only the less specific October 1915

Updated. The infobox date comes from George Robinson and David Waller's excellent website.

"After the Grand Fleet was disbanded, the ship was recommissioned with Reduced Complement on 20 November 1919" - Is it standard for "Reduced Complement" to be capitalized

I am not sure so I have removed the phrase.

"After the Grand Fleet was disbanded, the ship was recommissioned with Reduced Complement on 20 November 1919" - This implies that it was decommissioned at some point, but it isn't directly mentioned

Good point. I have added another reference and changed the wording to remove the ambiguity.

Image licensing looks fine.
"The vessel remained part of the Fifteenth Destroyer Flotilla until the end of the war" - I'd recommend rephrasing this sentence, as the source only really confirms that the ship was still listed as part of the Fifteenth Destroyer Flotilla in July 1918.

Good point. Intermediate copies of The Navy List also name Raider in the Flotilla, but it would not be efficient to list them all. I have reworded.

Sources are all RS and formatting looks acceptable.

Looks good beyond the above, placing on hold. Hog Farm _Talk 16:59, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Simongraham: - I'm having concussion symptoms after a fall and it hurts to look at a screen. I'll give this another read through, it just may be a few days before symptoms clear up enough for me to do that though. Hog Farm _Talk 01:36, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Hog Farm:I am sorry to hear that. I hope you get well soon. simongraham (talk) 02:04, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
