I'll get to this shortly.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 13:35, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
- No DABs, external links OK.
- Images appropriately licensed.
- No duplicate links, except demi-sling and sling.
- three, protruding no comma
- allow the fort to fire further upriver Upriver, like into Carrock Roads? If so, why would they bother firing into friendly territory? Why not into the Bay?
- six eleven 24-pound typo?
- its ordinance definitely a typo
- Only need to convert 24-pound(er) on first occurrence And it's usually rendered 24-pounder, 6-pounder, etc. With the hyphen.
- Rifled Muzzle Loader No need to capitalize these.
- 8 feet (2.4 m) thick This one does need the adjectival form. And this one too 9.8 feet (3 m) thick
- Can you get a map or aerial photo that show the layout of the Grand Sea Battery?--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:57, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
- Hmm... Give me a few more days on the map. I've an idea of how I might produce one with an original design, but I'm not quite there yet. Hchc2009 (talk) 16:35, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
- No rush.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 16:37, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
- Hmm... It didn't look very good. OK, I'm stumped on that one. I'll make the other changes later on today. Hchc2009 (talk) 09:33, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
Right, should mostly be done now. I've not sure the template is converting the adj correctly though, possibly because the flip setting is on. The firing upriver made sense to me; presumably the risk otherwise was that enemy vessels would manage to sail past the two forts, and then sit happily in Carrock Roads, able to either fire on the surrounding territory, attack any shipping at dock, or - I'm guessing a bit - take pot-shots at the forts themselves, who wouldn't be able to fire back. It would be rather like the problems in the US civil war when enemy steamships got past fixed gun positions on rivers. Hchc2009 (talk) 08:43, 3 October 2015 (UTC)
