... Richardson p26 says: the Liverpool slave trader Francis Ingram ‘pioneered the British slave trade at Porto Novo [in the Bight of Benin], where slave exports increased from fewer than 200 slaves in the 1780s to more than 3,000 slaves in the 1790s.
Hi
Desertarun, review follows: article created 26 July and exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources (just a note that per
WP:SCHOLARSHIP "masters dissertations and theses are considered reliable only if they can be shown to have had significant scholarly influence" so you may want to look again at Radburn 2009); I don't have access to all of the sources but found no issues with overly close paraphrasing in a spot check on some of them; hooks are mentioned in the article, AGF on sourcing for ALT0, ALT1 checks out; I am not overly keen on ALT1 ("slaver is part of slave-trading group") but, if desired, another alt hook could be crafted out of his privateering and banking connections; a QPQ has been carried out. I've marked as hold for now as the article ought to have a lead before it goes on the main page -
