I've put the article on hold for seven days to allow you to address the issues I've brought up. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, or here with any concerns. Thurgate (talk) 15:22, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

    • A little late, I guess, but there is a difference between a repair and a great repair. A great repair is basically a gut job on the ship, rebuilding it from the ground up while salvaging any usable timbers, while a repair is just fixing things that need to be fixed.

Note on "In today's terms"

Might I suggest for point 6, that you use the wikicode: £16,100 as of 2024.

• That's what I did.

4. Pope's book the Black Ship writes that "he was still alive" and cites witnesses and defendents in the later trials as evidence for this. (I think)

• I deleted it - I think its better for WP:Summary to leave it out plus the facts are a little fuzzy here. Might be worthy of a note; I'll think about it.
