- ... that during the First Balkan War, the almost unopposed capture of Lemnos by the Greek navy enabled it to blockade the Dardanelles? Source: Summary of the article, including Hall's quote "The conquest of Lemnos effectively closed the Dardanelles."
- ALT1: ... that although proposed by naval strategists for years beforehand, the capture of Lemnos by the Greek navy was decided on only upon the outbreak of the First Balkan War? Source: Summary of Background section. More specifically, Fotakis, pp. 47-48: "It is not clear who originally introduced the idea of the occupation of Lemnos instead of developing the war anchorage at Oreus. All available evidence points to the fact that Coundouriotes, with his customary courage, pressed the adoption of this idea upon a circumspect Venizelos....Having reached a decision on the occupation of Lemnos, the Greek fleet sailed towards the Dardanelles on 18 October"
