General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: No - 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)
