USRC Surveyor[edit]

(

)

The crew of Samuel Travis' USRC Surveyor prepares to repel a Royal Navy boarding party

~~... that whether he was on land or sea, from 1775 to 1813, the Royal Navy couldn't resist attacking Samuel Travis?~~

*ALT1:... that, in 1775, the Royal Navy attacked Samuel Travis' house, then returned 37 years later and attacked his ship?
- ALT2 ... that the Royal Navy attacked Samuel Travis' house in 1775, then returned 37 years later and attacked his ship (pictured)?

@Chetsford: Here's my review. epicgenius (talk) 22:32, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Interesting:
Other problems: - I like ALT1 better. ALT0 implies Travis was continuously attacked, which isn't the case. ALT1 isn't false, though, and it does technically meet all the criteria. But there's a minor grammar slip-up nagging at me, and I can't pinpoint it, so I'd go with this instead:
- ... that the Royal Navy attacked Samuel Travis' house in 1775, then returned 37 years later and attacked his ship?

epicgenius - thanks much! I've done the QPQ now and added the Alt. I also added an image for your consideration. Chetsford (talk) 23:54, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

@Chetsford: No problem and thanks for responding quickly. The image is fine. Looks like this is good to go now. epicgenius (talk) 00:47, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
