I will take this one. Comments to follow in due course. Zawed (talk) 00:29, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

An interesting article. I've done a little bit of copyediting, please review my changes to check you are OK with them.

Your changes were all improvements.

Comments as follows:

Lead

  • Dupe link: Dutch Republic; Spanish Empire
Done.

Background

  • Dupe link: Huilliche
Done.

Expedition

  • link Hendrik Brouwer on first mention
Done.
  • Dupe linl: Valdivia
Done.
  • "Except for Brouwer and other leaders, the true objectives were not known to the participants of the expedition." This is a little unclear; are the objectives recited not the true objectives? What did the participants believe was the expedition's purpose?
Added a bit to try and clarify. Does that help? If not I will rewrite it to make clearer.

Chiloé

  • Dupe link: Chiloé Archipelago
Done.
  • "According to Diego de Rosales...": we need context for who he is; a historian presumably?
Yes. Apologies. Added.

Valdivia

  • Manquipillan is not redlinked but Manqueante is?
Done.

Spanish response

  • Dupe link: Arauco War (on Mapuche resistance)
Done.

Other stuff

  • References: note 10, Robert Kock ref needs formatting using the website template I think, to match note 11. Chile is spelt incorrectly
Done. I think. Wiki-referencing is not a strong point.
  • Bibliography: the Lane ref needs dashes in its ISBN.
Done. (Possibly.)
  • The Montt Pinto ref needs a place of publication and a OCLC number
Done
  • Captions for images shouldn't finish with fullstops
Umm. That's not my reading of MOS:CAPFRAGS. "Most captions are not complete sentences, but merely sentence fragments, which should not end with a period. If any complete sentence occurs in a caption, then all sentences, and any sentence fragments, in that caption should end with a period."
  • Images themselves have appropriate tags
  • No dablinks
  • External links check out OK

That's my review completed. Cheers, Zawed (talk) 09:59, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Zawed: That was embarrassing. Thank you for soldiering through it. Hopefully it is a little better now. Gog the Mild (talk) 11:03, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Have reviewed your changes and comment and this is looking good. I think this is well written and illustrated, covers the subject to an appropriate depth and referenced with reliable sources. Passing as GA now. Cheers, Zawed (talk) 09:31, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
