# Talk:USS Virginia (BB-13)

The pre-WWI section states, "she put into Bradford, Rhode Island for coal on 9 August."   This is not possible, because Bradford, RI is an inland village. Innapoy (talk) 04:34, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

### Initial comments
The lead summarises the article well, so no problems here
"Virginia then proceeded to Norfolk, where she coaled before continuing on to Tompkinsville, Staten Island" - I don't think it's linked to the correct Norfolk (I laughed when I read it)
Whoops! Guess I should have checked the link ;)
"During this period, she had two brief stints as a flagship" - being a flagship (even briefly) seems notable, I think this should be mentioned in the lead?
Added a line
"where she joined the 3rd Division, Battleship Force, Atlantic Fleet" - might read better as where she joined the 3rd Division, Battleship Force of the Atlantic Fleet?
Seems fine to me.
"In September, Virginia returned to the Norfolk Navy Yard" - September of which year? It confused me as it's the opening of a new paragraph
Added the year - sometimes it can get a bit lost. Thanks for your review! Parsecboy (talk) 20:28, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

### On hold
Very minor points, I wasn't even sure whether or not to put this on hold! It should take minutes to address them, so once they're clarified this can become another GA. JAGUAR  16:22, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for addressing them! Looks good to go.  JAGUAR  11:54, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
