A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on February 1, 2007.

The text of the entry was: Did you know ...that the Loch Arkaig treasure, a large amount of specie provided by Spain to finance the Jacobite rising in Scotland in 1745, is said to be still hidden at Loch Arkaig (pictured) in the Scottish Highlands?

Current status: Good article

The pope in question was dear old Benedict XIV. Any reason not to identify him? --Wetman 19:30, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GA review[edit]

1. The first paragraph reads "said still to be hidden at Loch Arkaig in Lochaber." Said by whom? 2. I know Cumberland's repression was brutal, but perhaps we still need a reference for it? 3. The sentence on the embezzlement charge could do with a reference. DrKiernan 15:50, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

May have sorted this. I've referenced all three statements.--Doc^g 19:30, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have passed this article. My suggestions:

Break up the large lead into sections. It's a tad too lengthy.
Find some other external links. This is sort of optional, but it's a closer step to FA.

I've split the lead. There really are no more external links to cite. This article is about as developed as the limited verifiable information will allow - I doubt it is capable of making FA for that reason.--Doc^g 17:16, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
