GA Review

[edit]
This review is transcluded from Talk:Java campaign of 1806–1807/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.
GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS):
    'British Royal Navy forces against the forces of the Kingdom of Holland,' - Repetition of 'forces'
    Repetition of 'was able' in the second paragraph of the lede
    'At the start of 1806, control in the Indian Ocean in the Napoleonic Wars was disputed' - 'of the Indian Ocean' would seem better.
    'but were still insufficient' - 'but their forces were still insufficient' needs to be added, I think, as we're referring to the British being unable to effect complete control of the ocean. Either that or replace 'insufficient' with 'unable'. Either/or, really.
    Repetition of 'too concerned' in Background section
    'Batavia roads' - What context is 'roads' used here? It doesn't seem to have been used previously.
    'Captain Pellew opened fire on the other grounded ships while boats boarded them in turn' - Should probably be clarified, as I doubt he fired when the boats were actually boarding the vessels!
    Couple of instances in the Griesse section where you use variations on 'without a single casualty', and it seems a little peacockish; I'd suggest getting rid of 'single' to make it more neutral.
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
    'Cautious of the larger force' - Should probably mention he believed one ship to be a ship of the line.
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
  6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:

That's about it. Good article, needs a few details checked before I can pass it. Cheers, Skinny87 (talk) 15:47, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
