It has been a while since I have logged on to Wikipedia - I did this morning and ended up looking at this latest article you have been working on. It is wonderful! I see that you are still editing and I have a few suggestions... I hope they are useful! :)
Perhaps do not capitalize "Library" in the section titled "British blockade of Corfu"
Again in the first sentence of the "Martinique" section, you write "[He was] Governor of Martinique from 1818&endash;1826" ... I think it might be better written out as "... from 1818 to 1826."
Regarding the military colonisation programme, you write that "[he implemented] a military colonisation programme" but then later in the paragraph that "[the plan] was never implemented." I understand the meaning, but it is a little confusing and might warrant clarification :)
In the paragraph regarding naval support for Spain, who or where is "Canning"? Right now the wikilink is to an article about preserved food.
Any chance of adding dates to the Martinique events?
At the end I was left wondering... to where did he retire? Is a date of death known or just a year?
As I said, this article is wonderful!! and it is a very nice read. Thanks for writing it! I hope my suggestions are useful :)
Hi Iamunknown. It is very nice seeing you after such a long time. :). Thank you very much for your excellent suggestions. I will implement as many as I can for the moment and the rest, especially the details you mentioned, I will check later. Take care.
