I'll get to this shortly.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:51, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • One dead link to the book. No DABs.
  • Images appropriately licensed.
  • Link bastion(ed) in the lede.
  • Which way is north on the map?
  • stands the first peninsula on the east side What does this mean? That the fort is located on the easternmost peninsula on the east side of Grand Harbour?
  • Is there any specific information available about what changes the French engineers recommended and which ones were implemented and why?
  • When the Frobergs blew up the gunpowder magazine, was this the fort's primary magazine or just one of those in a bastion?
  • Are any details available on gun counts, sizes, etc. at various times?
  • After the war, the fort became was commissioned as HMS Ricasoli between 1947 and 1958, providing training for the naval population. Watch your grammar here, and what do you mean by the naval population? RN sailors?
  • Provide metric equivalents for English measurements and explain and link BL.
  • Link traverse, enciente, echaugette, battery, fire control, sally port and abris.
  • What's the Restoration Unit?
  • Nicely done.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 18:25, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • What's an expense magazine?
  • @Sturmvogel 66: I made a number of changes the article, and most of the above issues are sorted out. Re the map, I did not include the north direction in the map, but all maps in commons:Category:Maps of fortifications in Malta which I created have the north facing upwards. If you think that this should be indicated, I'll just add it to the map.
Re the gun counts, I added some details about its armament in 1785, but I couldn't find a list of guns at different times. Also, there are no articles on traverse and abris until now, so I didn't link them. If I find more info, I'll create stubs about them. Xwejnusgozo (talk) 23:23, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
