References and Point of View
[edit]The first paragraph is lacking any sources and only represents the British's point of view, and lacks details from the perspective of the Spanish, indigenous Cubans, and Afro-Cubans. This is also true of the entire article. It is biased towards the British's history.Joverholser (talk) 01:07, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
Name and text
[edit]I'm not entirely sure that Battle of Santiago de Cuba (1741) best describes the subject, as there was no set-peice battle during the campaign. British expedition to Cuba (1741) or British Invasion of Cuba (1741) might be more accurate. On top of that the text of the article seems to have been lifted directly from the various sources it qoutes, so it requires a complete re-writing.

- I was coming here to say the same thing. Despite the pronouncement in the lead that this battle took place on 21 July, the article never returns to explain this. The key elements seem to be that Wentworth lands his troops on 4-5 July, they eventually encamp and are sporadically raided for four months, and then they are withdrawn on 9 December. This is a campaign article and should be titled as such, and the significance if any of 21 July explained. If there are parts lifted directly from their sources these need to be rewritten or we have copyvio problems. Benea (talk) 10:47, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
