Image review:
 * Monamy-Battle-of-Malaga.jpg and Decorative scenes of the War of the Spanish Succession - Gibraltar, 1705.jpg have no United states PD licencse tags - please add as appropriate.
 * Done. Prioryman (talk) 22:20, 15 May 2013 (UTC)


 * What is the source of information in Susarte ingles.jpg?--Tomobe03 (talk) 08:41, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I've added a source. Prioryman (talk) 22:20, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

MOS:
 * "Philip V", "Prince George" etc should be wikilinked at the 1st instance of the name following the lead. Likewise the 1st instance should include their full names per WP:SURNAME. I am aware that they are all mentioned in the lede, but the lede, tables and similar are exempt from SURNAME and OVERLINK policies as the lede is just a summary (per WP:LEAD) - the lede should function as a useful text without the remainder of the article and vice versa.
 * OK, fair enough - done. Prioryman (talk) 22:20, 15 May 2013 (UTC)


 * There are duplicate links to Mountjoy's Grenadiers. Remove redundant ones per WP:OVERLINK.--Tomobe03 (talk) 17:02, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Done. Prioryman (talk) 22:20, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Prose review:
 * Both "Habsburg" and "Hapsburg" spellings occur in the article. Only one should be used consistently.
 * Good point, I've fixed this. Prioryman (talk) 22:20, 15 May 2013 (UTC)


 * The structure produced using the lang-es template seems awkward, especially since it contains a colon: ... known as Spanish: Muralla de San Bernardo (later Grand Battery). How about "... known as Muralla de San Bernardo in Spanish, and later as Grand Battery." or something along those lines?
 * Looks like someone else added that, I certainly don't recall doing so. I've reworded it. Prioryman (talk) 22:20, 15 May 2013 (UTC)


 * It seems to me that the term curtain wall is used incorrectly. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I suspect a different expression is needed instead in both of the instances of the "curtain wall".--Tomobe03 (talk) 17:26, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
 * If you're referring to the Grand Battery, it does seem to have been described as a curtain wall. You can see from this 1859 map I photographed last weekend that it's referred to as the "Grand Curtain" (apparently an interchangeable name). (Note that the linked Grand Battery article is very incomplete. I intend to rectify that this weekend.) Prioryman (talk) 22:20, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
 * In that case, I stand corrected, I guess.--Tomobe03 (talk) 09:03, 16 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Are there any sources available on Fox's first name?
 * It was Edward - I've added this. Prioryman (talk) 22:20, 15 May 2013 (UTC)


 * In The situation was precarious and was only worsened when a storm on 4–5 December damaged many of Leake's ships. the temporal clause should probably be moved to the end of the sentence.
 * Done. Prioryman (talk) 22:20, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Overall, a very nice article, with very little to mend in terms of GAR. Great work.--Tomobe03 (talk) 18:05, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
