Hi Yakikaki, review follows: article created 24 July and is of good length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to what look to be reliable sources (mostly older Swedish language books); I checked against the only English language source (Benson 1926) and found no issue with overly close paraphrasing (though it is a PD source anyway), AGF on the others and noting that the Earwig search tool is down; hook fact is interesting, stated in article and checks out to sources; a QPQ is underway. Looks fine to me - Dumelow (talk) 06:50, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks Dumelow for the review! For the record I have now also done the QPQ. Yakikaki (talk) 18:45, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
Years typo?
[edit]Hi Yakikaki, thanks for another interesting article. I have a question pls...
- the lede has "Soon after having graduated as an officer in the Swedish Navy, Nauckhoff was granted leave in 1778", but
- the body has "graduated as a naval officer in Karlskrona in 1768." JennyOz (talk) 10:56, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- Hi JennyOz, thanks, and sorry for my lateish reply. And well spotted! I have updated the lead section. I think I got confused myself, since he went on leave twice: one first time to serve in the merchant navy, and a second time a decade later to fight in America. I hope it reads better now. I double checked it with the sources as well. Best, Yakikaki (talk) 20:52, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks Yakikaki - looks good! JennyOz (talk) 07:22, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
