[edit] Yannismarou
- Per WP:MoS single years like "in 1790" should not be linked. Only full dates: "in January 1, 1790 ..."
- "He died at sea in 1806, near Charleston, South Carolina,[1] possibly due to yellow fever.[2]" IMO it is not nice to have a stubby paragraph like this in the lead.
- "Early life" is stubby. Merge or expand.
- "He is known, however, to have served in the Triangular trade of South Carolina, aboard the Pacific." Known by whom? Citation needed.
- "On September 30, 1787", "On September 17, 1788". Per above, the dates here should be linked.
- "Additional ships to explore the coast under the command of Captain George Vancouver.[citation needed] ...". These [citation needed]s should be fixed.
- "And in 1788 Gray had attempted to enter a large river..." Why do you start the sentence here with "and"?
- "Circumnavigation" is stubby and uncited.
- "Gray then finished filling his cargo hold with pelts and set sail for China. In Canton, Gray again traded his cargo for tea. He then returned to Boston.[1] Gray returned to Boston in 1793, after again circumnavigating the globe." Repetitive and choppy prose.
- "Legacy" is uncited.
- In some of your printed sources used as "Notes", you have no pages.
- The websites you have in "References" are not used as inline citations if I'm not wrong. If I'm right, then they are "External links" not "References".
- Categories at the end of the article should be alphabetized.--Yannismarou 16:52, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
