GA review of this version: Pn = paragraph n • Sn = sentence n
 * GA review (see here for criteria)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS):
 * Lead, P2, S1: the phrase …without discovery any patrolling British ships… seems to be missing a word or something.
 * Background, P2, S4: Can you add a few words explaining what the Reconquista in Santo Domingo is?
 * Destruction of HMS Junon, P2, S2: I changed the spelling of word manouvere to manouver. If my change (not sure of the proper Br. Eng. spellings) is incorrect, please restore
 * My spellchecker seems to be suffering some confusion with this word and so am I, but the trusty OED assures me that the first one was correct. I have changed it back.--Jackyd101 (talk) 17:54, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Destruction of HMS Junon, P3: The lead says that Shortland was mortally wounded, but this paragraph only details what his wounds were with no mention of his ultimate fate.
 * Do I need to explain it here when it is covered below as well? I don't want to duplicate the information if I can avoid it, and I think it works better in sequence as it is.--Jackyd101 (talk) 17:54, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * * Sigh (as I'm hanging my head in shame for missing that) *. No, of course you don't. — Bellhalla (talk) 19:23, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

 * a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:

As an FYI: You can use the template (a single straight quote mark) for possessives of ships like this:   (instead of  ), which produces. — Bellhalla (talk) 17:40, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the info, I will do so in future. Thanks also for the review. I have made some changes and raised a question with your fourth point.--Jackyd101 (talk) 17:54, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Looks good, so I'm passing. — Bellhalla (talk) 19:23, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
