  • Hi Ykraps, review follows; article moved to mainspace 7 July; article exceeds minimum length, is well written and cited inline to reliable sources throughout; I didn't spot any overly close paraphrasing from O' Byrne, which is the only online source (and PD anyway), AGF on the remainder; hooks are interesting, mentioned in the article (I note the blinding was only temporary), I can verify ALT1 AGF on offline sourcing; I altered "save" to "recapture" in ALT2 as the French were already in possession of the city ("recapture" is the word you use in the article too), let me know if an issue; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks fine to me- Dumelow (talk) 05:48, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Dumelow: Thanks for the review. I'm quite happy with the changes you've made and don't mind adding 'temporary' if you think it necessary. I just thought it was 'punchier' without. --Ykraps (talk) 08:20, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
