  • The lede should make it clear that the island was captured from the Ottomans either on the first or the second sentence.
    • Done, plus some additions.
  • "In 1822, the attempt by Greek revolutionaries" - Mention that this happened during the Greek War of Independence.
    • Done.
  • "with a garrison comprising the 1st and 3rd Battalions" - comprising of
    • "Comprising" is correct. It is either "composed of" or "comprising".
  • "comprising the 3rd battalion of the 1st Infantry Regiment" - comprising of. You capitalized the word battalion in a previous instance in the same paragraph so I think it should probably be capitalized here as well.
    • Capitalized, as above for the rest.
  • "Patris sailed separately to Mytilene on Lesbos" - Typo
    • Fixed.
  • "the Aipos heights only fell after a night attack by 3rd Battalion/1st Regiment" - by the 3rd Battalion/1st Regiment
    • Done.
  • "Facing determined and spirited Ottoman resistance," - Since determined and spirited are synonyms, one should be enough.
    • Simplified.
  • "while a 200-strong volunteer force was raised at Kardamyla on the northeast, and a volunteer force captured the village of Lithi" - Are those local volunteers that the Greek army armed? Later on there is also mention of Cretan volunteers so it should be specified if it was the Chians or Cretans taking part in the final assault.
    • Good point, clarified.
  • "and a battery from Lesbos" - Since Lesbos is only mentioned as a having a big Ottoman garrison in the Background section, perhaps you should mention that it had already been captured by then.
    • Clarified, both there and earlier.
  • "comprising a force of four battalions" - Maybe change one mention to consisting of for the sake of variety.
    • Did so.
Hello Catlemur, and thanks for taking the time and your suggestions. I think I have taken care of them all. Anything else? Constantine 18:01, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
