Note: this represents where the article stands relative to the Good Article criteria. Criteria marked are unassessed

"File:HMS Thor (1898).jpg" licensing: As the author is unknown, how do we know they have been dead for 70 years?
"File:HMS Thor.jpg" needs a US PD tag.
Bibliography: Gard & Becker is not used as a source.
"The success of Oden". 1. This is the first sentence of the stand alone main article. I think you need to back up and introduce the topic. 2. What was the nature of this success?
" a three-ship class of first-class coastal defence ships. The ships differed from their predecessor". So the three replaced a single predecessor, yes?
"The three vessels are considered members of the same class." Mentioning the name of the third ship would be nice.
"After reconstruction". Give the date.
"The guns could fire a 200 kg (450 lb) shell". Is their range known?
"Two 25 mm (1.0 in) machine guns were carried by the pinnaces." 1. Two guns per pinnace, or one each for a total of two pinnaces? 2. How many pinnaces were there?
"barbettes protected by 100 mm (3.9 in) nickel-steel armour". 1. Is there a missing 'thick'? 2. Why is the composition of the armour mentioned in this instance, but no other?
" Four 90 cm (35 in) searchlights were carried." This may fit more naturally into the previous paragraph.
"a cost of SEK 1,871,000". 1. SEK in full at first mention please. 2. The MoS says "Most currency symbols are placed before the number, and unspaced ($123 not $ 123)."
"a rolling keel". What might that be?
"which improved performance." Are any details of the improved performance known?
"sell the remains for scrap". "remains" seems odd. What had been removed to cause only remains to be offered for sale?

A cracking little article, nice work. Gog the Mild (talk) 17:02, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
