The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic
javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question.
The lead of this article may be too long, or may contain too many paragraphs. Please follow guidelines at
WP:LEAD; be aware that the lead should adequately summarize the article.[?]
The lead is for summarizing the rest of the article, and should not introduce new topics not discussed in the rest of the article, as per
WP:LEAD. Please ensure that the lead adequately summarizes the article.[?]
If there is not a
free use image in the top right corner of the article, please try to find and include one.[?]
Generally, avoid including
galleries in articles. Common solutions to this problem include moving the gallery to
wikicommons or integrating images with the text.[?]
Per
Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers#Units of measurement, there should be a non-breaking space - between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 0 mm, use 0 mm, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 0 mm.[?]
Per
Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Section headings, headings generally do not start with articles ('the', 'a(n)'). For example, if there was a section called ==The Biography==, it should be changed to ==Biography==.[?]

Watch for
redundancies that make the article too wordy instead of being crisp and concise. (You may wish to try Tony1's
redundancy exercises.)
Vague terms of size often are unnecessary and redundant - “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”. For example, “All pigs are pink, so we thought of a number of ways to turn them green.”
“In the year [of] 2000”
The script has spotted the following contractions: didn't, Don't, if these are outside of quotations, they should be expanded.
As detailed at
Help:Footnotes and
Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Punctuation and footnotes, footnotes are usually located immediately after a punctuation mark, such that there is no space in between. For example, the sun is larger than the moon [2]. is usually written as the sun is larger than the moon.[2][?]
According to Wright, Irene Aloha (1916).
The Early History of Cuba, 1492-1586. pp. 37, 59. who gets cited in some other
old papers (p.27),
Pánfilo de Narváez founded the settlement that would become Havana. Not sure if this has been litigated in academia in the hundred years since, but the sources in this article don't seem to contradict Wright.

Very serious problem
I am aware of the notice, but I still want to write that this article is unnecessarily and exaggeratedly long.
