grammar help[edit]

The article still needs some grammar clean-up. The seventh paragraph has a superfluous "Firstly", made obviously so by the absence of a "Secondly" in that or any subsequent paragraph. There are others, but this one sort of jumps out.

I responded by going over the whole article. I made a few necessary changes. What else is there? Secondly, it is not necessary to actually begin every element in a series by an ordinal word (such as "first" or "firstly") as I just did by prefacing this sentence with "secondly," where it is quite understood that the prior sentence was "firstly." Am I wrong in this? Srnec 04:06, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Defeat at Cape Matapan[edit]

I'm surprised to see there is no mention of his defeat by the Venetians at Cape Matapan, I have seen that event referenced in other articles but don't have enough info to add it here, does anyone know the details of that event? Vrac 04:11, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
