Hi. This article looks quite good. I have made a few edits, mainly focusing on spelling, grammar, presentation (please check that you are happy with my changes). I am unable to assess the article due to the number of edits I have made, but believe that it would most likely be a B class article. I have the following suggestions which you might consider, if you are thinking about taking it to WP:GAN (which I think it would be a candidate for):
Anyway, keep up the good work. Cheers. AustralianRupert ( talk) 04:29, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
Mansfeld is Ernst von Mansfeld, not a town. The general was besieging a town and the French helped him to pay his army besieging the town, IIRC. A little more context about him is necessary to complete the article, IMO.-- Sturmvogel 66 ( talk) 07:31, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Good to see a 17th century article!
I'll work my way through it. The text needs a little bit of attention in places.
Lead:
Background:
I'll run through the other sections later.
as the nominator has failed to respond and has not edited since 1 February, suggest that you fail this nomination. Jezhotwells ( talk) 01:22, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
The general reference given was:
As far as I can tell this is:
If not then it needs changing back. If it is then it would be nice to have a translation for the sentences that support this article. For example is the support for the sentence "Spanish infantry from Naples embarked, carrying a total of 4,000 soldiers among whom 2,000 were elite infantry tercios viejos from the Army of Flanders" on page 68 rather than page 67? -- PBS ( talk) 14:13, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
The infobox lists the United Provinces as having participated in this battle. However, this is not mentioned elswhere in the article. The only connections I see are:
In the 'Background' section there is this statement: "Richelieu hoped Britain and the Dutch would send a fleet to assist his own squadron in cutting the seaway between Spain and Genoa, while Venice attacked Milan."
Also in the Background section: "Venice abstained from the fighting, while British and Dutch support failed to materialize, enabling Spain to break through the relatively weak French fleet and relieve Genoa in August."
This means that either Britain and Venice should be added along with the Dutch, since they held the same role as the Dutch, or the United Provinces should be removed from the infobox, since they never actually sent military support.

One quick note. If it is decided to remove the Dutch from the infobox, whoever does it please remember to remove 'Dutch' in the introduction statement "It was a major naval expedition launched by Spain against the French-occupied Republic of Genoa, of which the capital Genoa was being besieged by a joint Franco-Savoyard-Dutch army composed of 30,000 men and 3,000 cavalry."

I have removed the Dutch Republic from the infobox after finding no justification for its being there. King Philip V of Spain ( talk) 00:30, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
