I'll take this to review. Parsecboy (talk) 20:40, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not much to say:

• File:Capture of Minerve off Toulon.jpg - needs a US tag - {{PD-US}} should apply.
• There are a couple of duplicate links (to cannon and broadside in the explanatory text for the table) that ought to be removed, and the second link to William James in the reference section can easily go as well.
• I'd italicize French ranks like Contre-amiral
• What type of ship was Illustrious? Ditto for Agamemnon
• "...were focused on capturing the island of Corsica, prosecuting sieges..." - should be "Corsica and prosecuting"

Nice work. Parsecboy (talk) 21:17, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies, because the article didn't go on hold, I hadn't realised that the review was complete! All done, thanks for the review.--Jackyd101 (talk) 00:20, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, I lost track of it myself, or I'd have pinged you! I'm happy to pass the article now. Parsecboy (talk) 02:00, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
