I'll get to this shortly.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 08:22, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

• Images appropriately licensed
• The Philippine city is spelled with only one l

• Changed.

• Is Sison actually notable in terms of the information available on him?

• Probably not, removed.

• Tell the reader what type of ships Hero and Grasshopper are on first use. Alternatively summarize that two British ships had been lost on the Texel in the lede as their identities aren't important there.

• Changed.

• Is there a link for the Haak Sands?

• Not that I can discover.

• Remember WP:GEOCOMMA

• Caught one, unsure if I've missed any.

• Suggest that you consolidate several paragraphs in the Design section

• Done.

• Who did the ship recapture Agenoria from? Barbary Pirates?

• Neither source states.

• Need a date for when she arrived back at England with Drummond on board lest the reader wonder if he was still on board when she ran aground

• Added, although couldn't obtain exact date.

• Why was Seymour absent when the ship ran aground?

• Would usually expect leave to attend parliament, but Seymour wasn't an MP. His ODNB just says "during his temporary absence".

@Sturmvogel 66: Hi, thanks for taking a look at this. Responses above. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 18:49, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

How was the ship rigged? Be sure to add that to the infobox as well as the main body. Otherwise looks good.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 18:53, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

• @Sturmvogel 66: Please could you elaborate? "Sails" are stipulated but sources don't really go into detail on the rigging of individual ships/classes. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 09:21, 25 June 2023 (UTC)

• You are quite right, please disregard.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 18:36, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
