- ... that Royal Navy officer Sir John Wells managed to escape the Nore mutiny through a gun port in his ship, returning later to accept the mutineers' surrender?
Created by Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk). Nominated by A. C. Santacruz (talk) at 20:58, 12 September 2021 (UTC).
Hi A. C. Santacruz, review follows: article created 9 September, exceeds minimum length and is well written; article is cited inline throughout to reliable, largely offline, sources; no overly close paraphrasing from the online sources and I am more than happy to AGF on the offline ones; hook is interesting and mentioned in the article, happy to AGF that the sources cited back-up the hook; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks fine to me, another excellent Pickersgill-Cunliffe Royal Navy bio. My only comment might be to drop the "Sir", as he wasn't a knight at the time of the mutiny - Dumelow (talk) 06:21, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
- That's a fair comment on the "Sir", removing it accordingly below:
