Prose and MoS

Add a hyphen in mentions of Cap Français.

Lead

No issues, but if possible make it two paragraphs.

Biography

I suggest removing this heading and making the subheadings main headings.

Early life and enslavement

The researcher Crystal Nicole Eddins, Eddins and the historian Karol K. Weaver, remove the.
- I tend to stray away from false titles, no hate towards them though.

Healing and divination

performed witchcraft on the talismans, add a comma at the end.
"she has acquired a renown that extends across the entire North Province", , remove comma.

Detractors and arrest

The two branded her a hussy and a charlatan, add a comma at the end.
He thought her superstitions were absurd and had victimized both black and white people., replace had with that she.
- Rephrased in line with this suggestion.

Images

Images aren't a requirement but I suggest adding some photos that are relevant to the article to make it more appealing.
- Couldn't find much in terms of relevant locations but I figure Neufchâteau is worth including; we only know about her because of his documents.

Ref

References are great! Never seen an article made up of entirely of books before.
For the bibliography section, I encourage using "refbegin" and "refend" templates.

Earwig's okay!

Misc

No ongoing edit war, broad and focused information about the topic.

Comments from Jaguarnik

The article was very interesting; I'm glad to have read it. I have a few comments:

An explanation of what a kaperlata is, either as a footnote or in parenthesis, would be good, because the term is likely unfamiliar to the average reader.
- Good idea!

A few nitpicks:

"fans" seems odd here, maybe "devotees" or "followers" would be better? Your call.
"on the plantation of...an unnamed girl" girl also feels a bit odd here, was she a child? "Woman" would fit better here in my opinion.
