I'll get to this shortly.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 04:50, 30 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Hi Sturmvogel 66. This is not intended as a nag, just a reminder. If you are busy, in RL in on Wikipedia, that's fine, the article isn't going anywhere. But I wouldn't want you to have forgotten about it. Thanks. Gog the Mild (talk) 21:26, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
 * No, no problem, I'd forgotten about this one in my highly distractable state.


 * No DABs, external links OK
 * File:Robert-Fleury - Philip VI of France.jpg, File:Passage de la Seine par armee anglaise et pillage Vitry XIVe siecle.jpg, File:Siege of a city, medieval miniature.jpg and File:Edward III Crossing the Somme.jpg need US-PD tags
 * Done. Apologies.


 * Do the Brits not render directions as "southwest or south-west"?
 * I understand south west to be acceptable. I offer in evidence South Western Railway; South Western School District; South Western Highway; South Western Railway zone. These are each from a different continent - to establish common usage, including one from the US.


 * that date,[36] between 747 ships ??
 * Whoops. Sorted.


 * Unusually well equipped for a medieval army. ??
 * A verb? You want a verb? That's just fussy. Verb added.


 * The map doesn't show the army moving to Cherbourg to raze it.
 * During the six days that the fleet was unloading etc a large group made an excursion to Cherbourg as a "private venture", sacking and razing the town. (Edward was reportedly not amused.) Hence my wording "as the army passed" and, admittedly later, "a 40-mile wide swath of destruction". Any arrow on a map is going to struggle to summarise every minor movement.
 * PS Back then, before they built the modern harbour, Cherbourg was a lot smaller (relatively) than it is now.


 * duplicate links to Gascony and south coast of England
 * South coast unduped. Gascony/Gascon is deliberate as two different contexts. I could take it out if you wish, but would prefer not to.


 * Explain why Calais was ideal from the English POV
 * Done.


 * He had numerous deputies and specialist under-officers. why is this relevant?
 * Deleted.


 * Notes 1 and 3 are the same
 * The down side of copying and pasting. Fixed.


 * Fix cite 38
 * Fixed,


 * Nicely done.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:11, 16 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Hi Sturmvogel 66, thanks for that. I hope that it wasn't too painful. All of your points addressed. Getting towards the end of my GT target now. Gog the Mild (talk) 13:03, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
