Review[edit]

This article is very well written and deserves to be considered a Good Article. However, there are a few items that need attention. The last item is the most glaring issue. Djmaschek (talk) 21:02, 21 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I think I've taken care of all these. Much appreciated.--Jackyd101 (talk) 22:10, 21 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

All issues addressed satisfactorily. Pass. Djmaschek (talk) 03:37, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Guiyesse's journey" section. Second sentence of paragraph 2 has "to cruised in the area" which should be "to cruise in the area".
"Guiyesse's journey" section. First sentence of paragraph 4 needs a period (.) between Mahé and Adam.
"Guiyesse's journey" section. Last sentence of paragraph 5 says, "When the latter reached the beach..." I know what you mean by "latter" (the ships boats going for the shore) but I wonder if there is a better way to write this. (optional)
First "Combatant summary" table. The text states 160 French surrendered, 100 escaped and 53 were casualties. But the table gives a complement of 190 for Chiffone. I assume the other Frenchmen were probably the crews of the schooner and ketch, but can this somehow be made more clear?
Second "Combatant summary" table. There are clearly wrong figures for the French complement, killed, wounded and total. The text says 4 killed, which is not reflected in the table and 53 seems like a refugee from the first table.

Here is an additional suggestion. Djmaschek (talk) 21:47, 21 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There are portraits of Adam, Collier and Rainer available in Wikipedia. There is plenty of room for at least two in the article as supporting materials.
