This article is in good shape. A few comments:

Lead and infobox

• suggest adding |infobox caption=D'Entrecasteaux to Infobox ship begin to put the ship name at the top of the infobox
  • Done
• "The spent much of the war"
  • Fixed
• "including the supporting Arab rebels"
  • Fixed
• the length, beam, draft, installed power, number of 47 mm and 37 mm guns, and various armour thicknesses don't match the body
  • Don't think I remembered to overhaul the box...
• you could add the range
  • Good idea
• rounding error in the conversion of the 138 mm guns
  • Fixed

Body

• no first names for Rear Admirals de Courejolles, Bayle, Sourrieu and de Spitz?
  • Can't find de Courejolles, but I got the others (this was helpful, but de Courejolles appears to have retired before the war)
• mention the Eight-Nation Alliance, perhaps pipe link to "colonialist response"
  • Added
• "The ship spent the next four two in the region"
  • Fixed
• "In early 1914, the Nnavy"
  • Done
• "to replace the armored cruiser Pothuau"
  • Done
• "along with Pothuau and the old pre-dreadnought battleships Jauréguiberry and Charlemagne." to avoid confusion
  • Done
• "the protected cruiser Du Chayla"
  • Done
• say the Armée d'Orient fought on the Macedonian front
  • Good idea
• link Reserve fleet
  • Done
• suggest "when the Belgians returned her due to significant reductions in their naval budget."
  • Works for me
• suggest "In the early 1920s, the Polish Navy had explored the possibility of buying a cruiser from France to strengthen their nascent fleet"
  • Done
• "renamed her Bałtyk on 17 September 1927 as a result of the growing influence of royalist elements in the Polish parliament" doesn't really make sense, if royalist elements were growing in influence, wouldn't they want to retain a royal name on a ship?
  • I questioned that as well; it was in the previous version of the article. I wonder if it was a translation issue? Perhaps for the best to just remove that bit.
• is there an OCLC or ISSN for Twardowski?
  • Added
• the Further reading book needs the ISBN hyphenated
  • Done

That's all I could find. Placing on hold for the above to be addressed. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 03:18, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
