  • Lead and infobox;
    • fought in the main harbour; I am not sure about "in the" or "at the"
in is correct here
    • A British Royal Navy; redundant phrase, Royal Navy itself indicates that it belongs to British
Although the link does go to Royal Navy, technically every navy in Europe at the time was a "Royal Navy" except the French (which had been until 1789). I was advised many years ago to clarify this for non-English readers (from say, the Netherlands or Norway), who might be confused.
    • when the "Hébé-class" French frigate Sibylle
Done
    • May I know why "Jacques-Mélanie Rondeau" was red-linked; because a very very few "Commodores" are notable
Actually almost all captains, let alone commodores, serving at this stage of the war went on to have very notable careers and most have articles - Rondeau here is the exception rather than the rule. I'll delink if you insist, but he's likely to get one at some stage
    • in 1799 participated -> in 1799, it participated; not able get the flow
Done
  • Section 1;
    • French Mediterranean Fleet anchored in the harbour; which harbour?
Toulon harbour, as the sentence says.
  • Section 2;
    • In this table, "Guns" refers to all cannon carried by the ship; I think it should be "cannons"
Afraid not, the plural of "cannon" is "cannon". English is dumb sometimes.
  • Section 3;
    • opinion of "British" naval historian William James
Done
Well written. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 14:35, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
