Comments/discussion: I really like how you included the text from the offline sources into the notes. My only suggestion would be to move the pictured to after Fort George rather than Scotland as I put in ALT1, or even leaving out the portion with the explanation of the gun (kind of puts a lot of focus on the gun in the hook). It is unfortunate that the small image does not pick up the fort as well as the full size image does. Calmer Waters 03:13, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

No problem with that suggestion, I should say it's an improvement. Thanks for the review. Moonraker (talk) 03:16, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
