Under general characteristics the article says twelve 6 inch guns. The included diagram and one other site says that the actual count is sixteen. The count on actual pictures also seems to be 16.
@Ain92: Thanks! That second link seems reliable, but Drachinifel/C&Rsenal are as far as I know not. The former has gotten some attention, but I haven't seen things that would get them over the WP:RS hump. (Also, I and I believe several other Wikipedians have strong suspicions around how much of his research is obtained from Wikipedia.)
It would be worth including that the ship carried Ross rifles, but neither source speaks to the rifles in that particular photo... nor does either source mention anything about Mausers, though Chile did purchase them during their earlier arms race with Argentina.

I'd bring them up at WP:RSN. I'm pretty sure they aren't reliable enough the criteria set out at WP:SPS, but I'd be happy to be proven wrong! (This could be a similar situation to Navweaps, which in my experience has had nearly zero errors but still doesn't meet SPS.) Ed[talk][majestic titan]00:50, 27 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
