I have a few comments:

• the oa length, beam and draft conversions don't match between the body and infobox
  • Fixed
• the displacement doesn't match between the body and infobox, also say what sort of displacement in the infobox?
  • Fixed
• the infobox says Curtiss turbines, the body says Parsons
  • Fixed
• the power doesn't match between body and infobox, link shp in infobox
  • Fixed
• range and capacity figures don't gel between infobox and body
  • You'd think I'd have fixed all of these when I rewrote the article ;)
• the secondary battery figures don't match between infobox and body 22 vs 14
  • Fixed
• where were the TTs located?
  • Hmm, Friedman doesn't say
    • Ah, but Conway's had it
• the belt armor figures don't match between infobox and body
  • Fixed
• the turret armor figures don't match between infobox and body
  • Fixed
• on a couple of occasions, I suggest using a colon followed by a narrative list with intermediate semicolons. An example is " a delegation consisting of" but also "during which she stopped in"
  • Done
• there are three links to various versions of Culebra, Puerto Rico. I assume it is the one place, so suggest trimming.
  • Good catch - the dupelink tool didn't spot that one
• "to Puget Sound ofn 21 January"
  • Fixed
• "On 15 June, Admiral Joseph M. Reeves took command of the fleet aboard Pennsylvania", but up to this point, I thought she was only a divisional flagship?
  • Clarified
• CNO is not introduced
  • Fixed
• suggest "the Japanese having evacuated without the awareness of the US forces in the area"→"the Japanese having evacuated without US forces in the area having becoming aware of it." if that is what is meant?
  • Done
• were the contingent of 790 passengers military or civilian?
  • Military, I'd assume, but DANFS doesn't say who they were
• "to provide artillery support to the marines"
  • Fixed
• this may just be AustEng, but up-coming seems a weird hyphenation
  • Fixed
• "four bombs landed closet" close?
  • Fixed
• there is a mention of a Curtiss SC Seahawk, but I haven't seen a mention of onboard aircraft earlier?
  • For whatever reason, it seems that reconnaissance aircraft tend to be overlooked in many sources - we had the same problem with the British Revenges that you reviewed, as I recall. They're not insignificant pieces of equipment, so I don't know why Conway's, Friedman, Burt for British ships, etc. ignore them.
• Breyer, Morison and Smith need a publication location
  • Added
• File:USS Pennsylvania 1925 SLV Green.jpg needs a a US-PD licence
  • Added

That's me done, just placing on hold for the above to be addressed. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 10:53, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
