Talk:Spanish expedition to Balanguingui

My edit
Ok, so I think my edit is mostly uncontroversial grammar, but I changed two things that I'm not entirely sure about. First, among the forces embarked on the fleet was the phrase "a public safety sting" which I changed to "police contingent", figuring that public safety=police, sting=a unit. The sentence on the bombardment is followed by "once struck the pirate's resistance, the assault was launched.". I figured that what was meant was a description of the effects of the bombardment on the pirates, so I changed it to "lowered the morale of the pirates" or words to that effect. However, I think it's possible that the intended meaning was "struck their colors", i.e., surrendered. I'll check the sources to find out for sure. Another grammar edit to follow.Howicus (talk) 17:59, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Annnnnd the sources are offline and in Spanish. I'll google it. Howicus (talk) 18:00, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Second edit is again, mostly grammar (I suspect the author of this page was a native Spanish speaker). However, two references to "scales" confused me. My best guess, and the one I used, is that scales means grappling hooks or similar devices. Howicus (talk) 20:50, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Also, a sentence read that the Spanish took cannons "into" a fort, which makes no sense seeing that the forts were later destroyed. I chagned that to took cannons "at" the fort.  Howicus (talk) 20:53, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Looks good to me. Nice work. --Raoulduke47 (talk) 08:55, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
