# Talk:Java campaign of 1806–1807

This review is transcluded from Talk:Java campaign of 1806–1807/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.
GA review (see here for criteria)
It is reasonably well written.
a (prose):  b (MoS): 
'British Royal Navy forces against the forces of the Kingdom of Holland,' - Repetition of 'forces'
Repetition of 'was able' in the second paragraph of the lede
'At the start of 1806, control in the Indian Ocean in the Napoleonic Wars was disputed' - 'of the Indian Ocean' would seem better.
'but were still insufficient' - 'but their forces were still insufficient' needs to be added, I think, as we're referring to the British being unable to effect complete control of the ocean. Either that or replace 'insufficient' with 'unable'. Either/or, really.
Repetition of 'too concerned' in Background section
'Batavia roads' - What context is 'roads' used here? It doesn't seem to have been used previously.
'Captain Pellew opened fire on the other grounded ships while boats boarded them in turn' - Should probably be clarified, as I doubt he fired when the boats were actually boarding the vessels!
Couple of instances in the Griesse section where you use variations on 'without a single casualty', and it seems a little peacockish; I'd suggest getting rid of 'single' to make it more neutral.
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references):  b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR): 
'Cautious of the larger force' - Should probably mention he believed one ship to be a ship of the line.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects):  b (focused): 

It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias: 

It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.: 

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): 

Overall:
Pass/Fail: 

That's about it. Good article, needs a few details checked before I can pass it. Cheers, Skinny87 (talk) 15:47, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
