- You used British ship several times, please specify the size or type of ship like 4th rate, frigate, etc., so I don't have to click on the link to see how big it was. When did Nelson return from Palermo and where was he when the action started? These facts are not clear. As written I'd have thought that Keith was in tactical command.
- Addressing your points one by one, 1) I've changed one instances but in all other cases it it either referring to more than one ship or I think the context is clear. Please be more specific about where this is a problem. 2)
The article says that "Keith's convoy [and therefore also Nelson] arrived off Malta in the first week of February 1800" and later "Although Nelson briefly returned in April", I'm not sure which occassion you are talking about, in what way are these not clear?I think I see the problem - is this better now? 3) The article states that "Keith himself remained off Valetta in Queen Charlotte, observing the squadron in the harbour", which explains why he was not present during the battle and had no tactical command during the engagement.--Jackyd101 (talk) 01:55, 24 January 2010 (UTC)- It's fixed now.
