Talk:Action of 9 September 1796

Rewrite

Unless anyone minds, I'm planning a quick tidy up of this article over the next few days, similar to my recent work at Battle of Ile Ronde. Let me know if you have any comments or questions. Best--Jackyd101 (talk) 00:30, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

I have tided and sourced the article - I've also corrected a few things: it was fought on 9 September, not 8 September and off Sumatra, not Mauritius, hence the new title - the old history can be seen at Action of 8 September 1796. Regards--Jackyd101 (talk) 23:38, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

Decent work there like normal, but I have a few comments.

Thanks for this review. I have some questions. Also, has this passed? The last line seems to suggest you passed it.--Jackyd101 (talk) 22:48, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

• Fix dashes using the script

• What script?--Jackyd101 (talk) 22:48, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

• CharInsert. It is on by default. You can turn it on in your preferences

• It is unecessary to cites like this The M4 Sherman served in WWII. It later served in the Korean War.

• I think I've only done this when there is only one ref in the paragraph, in which case I've spaced them out to make it clear the whole paragraph is sourced.--Jackyd101 (talk) 22:48, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

*Space between the "p" and number in the cites

• Is this really necessary? I thought it was up to editor preference?--Jackyd101 (talk) 22:48, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

• DAB link to broadside — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomandjerry211 (alt) (talk • contribs) 11:11, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

1. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

• You only need one kind of identifier for the references, not two.

• I don't know what this means.--Jackyd101 (talk) 22:48, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

• It means that you don't need both oclcs and isbns for your refs.

• Please and oclcs or isbns for two of the sources

• I don't know what an OCLC is or where to find it. The two references without ISBNS were published before ISBNS were invented.--Jackyd101 (talk) 22:48, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

• OCLC numbers are found on www.worldcat.org. There are used for identifing refs that were mad before isbns were invented.

1. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

2. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

3. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

4. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

5. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

• Passing, well done (I have finished two issues on my own).--Tomandjerry211 (alt) (talk) 12:11, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
