I'm currently trying to homogeinize the existing/future articles in both the English and the Spanish "Wikipedia" related to this battleship class.
I will concentrate first in having the same articles, with similar contents and layout (albeit this will be based in the current, outdated template that the existing articles have).At a minimum I'll add 1 article to the Spanish Wikipedia (to cover the "Rivadavia class") and 2 articles to the English one (to cover both class members' history).
Once this is done, I'll try to improve the layout of all these articles (6 in total) based on more current templates (eg: as those used in the "Iowa" battleship class articles, which seem to be pretty thorough and well done).

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Rivadavia class battleship's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 07:26, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The article was just promoted (yay) ... Ed, I don't have some of these sources, can you help with J's FAC comments when you get a chance? - Dank (push to talk) 12:55, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Note to me (and anyone interested, really): there's a good line drawing of the ship in Google Books here. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 11:04, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Just a note for me (and anyone else interested), there is an additional source on these ships' launching here. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 08:21, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I recently placed {{bq}} (which used raw styling markup) in this template with {{quote}}. After an unexplained revert, and another with an abusive edit summary, this has now been replaced with bare HTML markup.
The three versions are styled thus:
Template:BQ (with "style=font-size:90%"):
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.
Template:Quote:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.
<blockquote><span style="font-size:90%;">:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.
As can be seen, there are absolutely no style differences between the first two, while the latter has smaller - and thus harder to read - text. Of the three options, only {{quote}} prevents raw markup from being exposed to editors. It should be restored.

I feel that the battleship was still incomplete because seems to miss the left wing turret. Is someone able to confirm my feeling and eventually insert it in the caption? pietro151.29.43.111 (talk) 10:50, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
