Hi! I'll be doing the GA review of this article, and should have the full review up soon. Dana boomer (talk) 20:16, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose): b (MoS):
- In the Boadecia arrives section, you say "Africaine was a dismasted hull". Is "dismasted" a naval term? I would think "demasted" would be correct, but I could be completely wrong...
- a (prose): b (MoS):
- Dismasted is the technical naval term for a ship that has lost all its masts. I think demasted may be technically correct if the masts are deliberately removed by the crew (although I can only recall seeing dismasted used in this context as well), but in this case dismasted is correct.--Jackyd101 (talk) 22:10, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
- It is factually accurate and verifiable.
- a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
- There are a couple of tag ends of paragraphs that aren't referenced. They are the last sentence of the Africaine off Île de France section and the last sentence of the first paragraph of the Battle section.
- a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
- Done, thanks.
- It is broad in its coverage.
- a (major aspects): b (focused):
- a (major aspects): b (focused):

- It is stable.
- No edit wars etc.:
- No edit wars etc.:
- 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):
- Are there no images? Paintings of the engagement, the individual ships involved, or their captains?
- a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
- I've looked quite extensively, but so far in vain for an image. As soon as I can find one I will insert it.--Jackyd101 (talk) 22:10, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

- Pass/Fail:
