I suspect that the ship pictured in the article is in fact not the HMS Gorgon. From what I can tell, she has too few turrets, too small a superstructure, and she sits to low in the water to be the Gorgon. Compare the image with the one on this site: http://www.battleships-cruisers.co.uk/monitors.htm
Also, compare with the model of her sister, Glatton/Bjørgvin http://www.mil.no/start/aktuelt/nyheter/article.jhtml?articleID=95479
A correct image of the ship can be seen here: http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNBR_6-49_mk18.htm
According to this article "Gordon" was the name given to the Norwegian coastal defense ship "Nidaros", after they seized it in construction at the outbreak of WWI. Easily mixed with "Gorgon", I guess. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.1.144.84 ( talk) 13:41, 7 February 2007 (UTC).

2.It is factually accurate and verifiable.
3.It is broad in its coverage.
4.It follows the neutral point of view policy.
5.It is stable.
6.It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
7.Overall: The article is well written, and goes into a good level of detail about the major aspects of the ship's history and design, with a substantial infobox. I think the main problems with the article are due to the obvious lack of sources about the ship, and as a result of this, it seems unlikely that the article will progress substantially in the near future. However, as I mentioned, the references used are well cited and seem reliable, and the image used clearly illustrates the ship.
