Looks like there is one dead link, the USGS Jamaica Earthquake Reference, #127 I believe.

A few references link to an Oxford database of some sort, looks like you have to subscribe to access. It's not a game ending problem but if you could find alternate links it would be better.
- The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography? It's a biographical work of an accepted academic-level standard, so I'd rather not replace it with what could be inferior sources, if possible. It's available to all in the UK who have local library access, and you can get access too - if you apply at the [[1]]. - The Bounder (talk) 17:58, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine and well then, I just saw there was a paywall of some sort. QatarStarsLeague (talk) 23:48, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"With the prize money from the raids..." prize money doesn't seem entirely appropriate here.
- I should have linked it as it's the correct term, even though it sounds wrong! See prize money. - The Bounder (talk) 17:58, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"...or Pencarn, Monmouthshire." is there no link for pencarn?
- None that I've found. - The Bounder (talk) 17:58, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
"...although in later life he stated that he had left school early..." this author did or Morgan himself did?
- Morgan himself said it. - The Bounder (talk) 17:58, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
"He was given the rank of admiral..." in a formal, naval way, or did he just take to calling himself that?
- That's a moot point. He was 'appointed' admiral in a rather loose way, but this was before there was a formal naval structure in the way we understand it nowadays, and the person who gave him the title was a local governor, rather than a naval appointment. - The Bounder (talk) 17:58, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
"...which he did." which he was
- I've rephrased that bit totally. - The Bounder (talk) 17:58, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
"The French captain knew the approaches to the lake..." perhaps we should make it clear here that it isn't a lake, that it connects to the Caribbean

"...Morgan was also incarcerated in the Tower of London..." I think this is the first mention of the tower, let's wikilink it
- Not quite sure how I didn't do this first time round! - The Bounder (talk) 17:58, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
All the images seem to fine/fair use

Other than these few points, I think all is well. The article is fantastic, very fun read, nice work with it! QatarStarsLeague (talk) 17:35, 20 April 2017 (UTC) is[reply]
