    Dabberoni15, this is an excellent article. One or two minor points: 1) should the school Capitein established at Elmina be mentioned in the "Return to Africa" section; 2) there were several duplicate links which I have fixed; 3) the lead section is slightly repetitive and could be smoothened. Otherwise, well done. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 18:34, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    AirshipJungleman29, Thanks for reviewing another article of mine. In regards to your first point, I agree that the section as it stood would probably fit better in the "Return to Africa" section, but I feel that the bit about Capitein's school and orphanage was better placed in the legacy section, as it was the only tangible legacy that he left in Elmina. I have reworded the section to make this obvious. In regards to your second point, I am unsure as to what exactly is repetitive about the lede section. Perhaps if you gave me a list of things to fix then I could do that easily. Regards, Dabberoni15 (talk) 23:40, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Hmm. My initial feeling was that the second sentence of the lead was unnecessary. However, on reading it again, I think it's satisfactory for GA standard, although it would get noticed at FA. Congratulations, Dabberoni15, I'll promote it now. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 10:34, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
