Will come back shortly. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 02:06, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Section 1; sentence 1; "...launch of the French Gloire, the first ironclad warship", first ironclad of the world or Europe or France, mention that clearly.
- Done
Section 1; Better mention who is "Kaiser Franz Josef I", something like "Emperor of Austria" etc.
- Added
Section 1.1; para 1; beam measured 13.94 meters (45 ft 9 in); but in the infobox it is 14 m (45 ft 11 in)
- A legacy of when the article was based on Silverstone's less precise work - good catch.
Section 1.1; para 1; they displaced 2,824 long tons (2,869 t) at normal load, and 3,110 long tons (3,160 t) at deep load; but in the infobox it is 2,779 long tons (2,824 t)
- Probably the same as above
Is it possible to add the information about the later guns that were installed in 1867, in the infobox.
- Added
Section 1.14; para 3; The frigates broadside ironclads; this looks a bit confusing. I think it is to "The frigates were broadside ironclads".
- Yeah, the "were" was missing.
All the three images lack dates on their description pages. Please add approx. dates as I suggested on Talk:Kaiser Max-class ironclad (1862)/GA1.
- Added to all three
Better to link "Prussia" and "Italy" on their first mention.
- Linked Prussia, but Italy is already linked in the design section.
