I will start the review shortly.--Catlemur (talk) 16:38, 29 April 2021 (UTC)


 * "John's eldest son (the dauphin), Charles," - Charles' article is linked twice in this passage.
 * Stupid of me. Fixed.


 * "The Norman nobles who had not been arrested sent to Navarre for reinforcements." - How did the nobles travel to the other side of France for reinforcements? Was it because of Charles II of Navarre?
 * They didn't, they "sent" for the reinforcements. I assume that their messangers travelled by sea, but I can't find a source to confirm that.
 * Yes, should I explain that?
 * Please do.--Catlemur (talk) 20:49, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Done.


 * The article refers to the king of Navarre as Charles II of Navarre in the lede and Charles of Navarre in the rest of the article.
 * It is usual to introduce a person fully at first mention and more briefly thereafter. He would be "Charles", but he needs a disambiguator from the dauphin, also Charles. And it is how he is usually referred to in RSs. (I assume for much the same reason.)


 * "was moving south from Pont-Audemer John followed" → "was moving south from Pont-Audemer, John followed"
 * Done.


 * Move the Rouen wikilink to the Outward section from Return.
 * Done.


 * "Some French cavalry were trailing Lancaster and he may have believed they were the van of John's entire army[65] as on the 10th"→"Some French cavalry were trailing Lancaster and he may have believed they were the van of John's entire army,[65] as on the 10th"
 * Done.


 * "English had travelled 330 miles"→ Convert miles to km.
 * Done.


 * Is Godfrey d'Harcourt the same person as Geoffroy de Harcourt?
 * He is. Thank you. Linked.


 * "acknowledged Edward III as king of France"→"acknowledged Edward III as King of France"
 * Done.


 * Note 3 - Remove ironically.
 * Done.


 * Refs 43 and 51 use p. for multiple non continuous pages cited, while ref 11, 24, 25 etc use pp.
 * Refs 43 and 51 are not to "multiple non continuous pages cited". They are to text in the body of a page and to a footnote on the same page. Hence "p.".


 * Some sources use the city + province of publication, while others only refer to city. This needs to uniform.
 * No it doesn't. It is usual to add sufficient additional detail to the more obscure locations where the place referred to is not obvious. So neither New York nor Minnesota are likely to confuse a reader, while Woodbridge could be any of these.
