"The stated purpose of the rebellion was to create a black republic as had already occurred in neighbouring Haiti rather than to free slaves, so it is not properly called a slave rebellion, although freedom of the slaves would have been a probable consequence of its success."

As it says, freedom of the slaves would have been a consequence of the success of this rebellion. I don't think it is fair to say that the purpose was to create a republic when maybe some sort of proto state would have been sufficient for most slaves. I think the wording of that quote should be looked up closer. RiccardoPoloni7 (talk) 21:38, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Article length
The length of this article is pushing 100 kb of readable prose (over 16,000 words), which should be considerably reduced by WP:SIZERULE. Reading time is currently estimated at over 90 minutes according to one online calculator I consulted, so I would suggest that the article would be more readable if some of the content were moved into sub articles. As such I don't think it currently meets GA criteria #3. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  00:45, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Also way too many notes. Many contain information that is UNDUE here but may be relevant on sub-articles. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  00:53, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Open to your suggestions, but someone spent a lot of time on this, so would be a travesty to lose that. This is also a popular topic (and Wikipedia an important source of information) for school projects in Grenada, where there is a lot of misinformation and mythology around the rebellion. But if you see a way to make it more accessible, without loosing the info, then go for it. Tiredmeliorist (talk) 13:29, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Article just goes into too much detail and needs splits / trimming across the board, particularly quotations which seem to be overused. Compare Armenian genocide, which covers a much broader topic (in terms of the scale of the event and the volume of RS that exist on it) but is only 40% as long as this page in readable prose. This is due to appropriate use of WP:Summary style and consignment of less important details to sub-articles. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  16:35, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, fair enough -- have at it. Please just indicate what pages things are being moved to, when possible, in order to reassure good info is not being lost. Tiredmeliorist (talk) 12:05, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
