GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
    Wikilink skirmish?
    "The townspeople called out their militia, and drove the Falcon away, freeing the schooners and capturing British seamen." - This seems slightly misleading, as it was the crew of the prize that (probably) recaptured the schooner. Might I suggest a slight rewrite to make this clear?
    "The lieutenant was wounded in the action, and he and a few men managed to escape the action in a skiff around 4 pm" - Do we know the exact details of how the other men were captured, the ones not on the re-captured prize schooner? Did they drift to shore or did the militia come out for them?
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
    "Ten colonists impressed for naval service were freed by the American militia during the battle." - This doesn't seem to be mentioned in the article, only that some men were impressed by Linzee.
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
  6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:

Another nice little article. A few questions to answer, then it can be passed. Skinny87 (talk) 20:21, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking the time to review my work. I think I've addressed your concerns; in particular, I've tried to clarify the sequence of events so that it's clearer what happened when. Magic♪piano 23:40, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
