I can only assume what Wes meant, I have the time, and it can't hurt to do a checklist, even if he wants to do one, as well. Wes, let me know if I've made an egregious error in doing this and I won't jump the gun next time.

To the submitter: Is this a refit or overhaul of a previous article? If yes, provide a link and a list of changes.
I intend to finish this review by: 2/19/17 (Today)
Notes:
Use an unbalanced header/text ratio (many headers but sections are one-liners): You have some headers with no text below them. Ex: Inside the Ship and Ship Systems. Compartments are all one liners, but that isn't as bothersome as the history and background one liner.
Proofread for spelling and grammar: "The Broadsword has nodes located throughout the hull project a conformal set of shields all across the ship. By depowering some of these nodes shields can be lowered in a certain area to allow EVA or fighter craft to exit a hangar." Write
that between
hull and
project. Add a comma between
shields and
can.
Damage Capacity and Damage Ratings in compliance with the DR Guidelines: On weapons, write T11 instead of 11, etc
