  •   Hi Moonraker, review follows: article created 7 November; article is well written and exceeds minimum length; Could you advise what makes Sails of Glory a reliable source? It appears to be a forum post; I didn't notice any issues with overly close paraphrasing from the online sources; hooks are interesting, mentioned in the article and check out to sources cited (the flames were presumably related to the Chios massacre?); a QPQ has been carried out. My only other comment is that some data in the infobox is not cited or mentioned in the article (for example the tons burthen, date of order), could you review and advise? Many thanks - Dumelow (talk) 12:24, 8 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, Dumelow. Yes, the fires will no doubt be related to the Chios massacre in some way, but I didn’t try to link that, as this is in May a month or two on and there is a Greek squadron there. The two events do seem to be distinct. I guess you are right that Sails of Glory may not be reliable, so I have found a much better source for that paragraph. A good chance that Sails of Glory was relying on it. Have also added some references in the infobox. See what you think. Moonraker (talk) 12:54, 8 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
  Hi Moonraker, yep that looks fine to me - Dumelow (talk) 13:47, 8 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi Moonraker and Dumelow, I have just changed the link for figurehead to Figurehead (object). If this is correct Dumelow can you pls change same in hook which is currently in Q2? Thanks, JennyOz (talk) 12:04, 30 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, JennyOz, my mistake. But as you were, Dumelow, the hook in the queue is the one without the link. Moonraker (talk) 12:24, 30 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
All good, thanks. JennyOz (talk) 14:12, 30 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
