780:"By 2007 Peter Caruana, the Chief Minister, was able to boast that Gibraltar's economic success had made it "one of the most affluent communities in the entire world."" So, is this just Caruana's opinion, or something well attested to by independent sources, as well? Perhaps add a mention of international ranking in development index or something.
683:"The British Government feared that Spain would also enter the war and it was decided to evacuate the entire civilian population of Gibraltar in May 1940, mostly to the United Kingdom but also to Madeira and Jamaica, with some making their own way to Tangier and Spain." Kind of a long sentence, might want to break it up.
507:
I assume you mean the painting and the map? I rather like the painting, but I thought the map was a necessity; as people have pointed out to me on several occasions, Gibraltar is a rather small place, and not everyone knows where it is or its geographical relationship to the other places mentioned in
756:
The telephone cables went through Spain but were cut when the blockade was implemented. Gibraltar today has invested heavily in satellite communications and set up microwave links with
Morocco on the other side of the Strait to prevent this situation ever recurring.
584:" Various territorial exchanges were agreed, among them the cession of the town, fortifications and port of Gibraltar (but not its hinterland) to Britain "for ever, without any exception or impediment whatsoever."" It's not clear which citation supports this quote.

Ok, I finished my read-through. Impressive work, Gibraltar's history must have been hard to distill into an article of this length. It looks pretty good, not a lot of concerns. I have a few minor comments, I'll try to get them all posted this weekend.
658:." I'd prefer to avoid the easter egg link here if you can. Maybe spell out a little more about Capital punishment in Gibraltar. Also, is "being run as spies" how you say it? It sounds strange to me but I very well may be wrong.
787:
There are some rankings out there, but I'll have to do a bit more digging to work out which one is best to use. I think it comes out at perhaps the 20th highest territory in the world by per capita GDP, or something like that.
749:"the frontier was closed completely and Gibraltar's communications links with the outside world were cut" (also in lead) I'm a bit confused here, did they really have no way to communicate with the outside world?
1071:
I can't disambiguate any further since the source doesn't say what species was fished. It's a generic term covering multiple species, so it may well be that they did in fact fish multiple species.

I see that you rely heavily on
Jackson, but I don't think that's problematic. You might consider using more page ranges though instead of consecutive single-page cites. Just a suggestion.
831:"land reclaimed from the sea now accounts for a tenth of Gibraltar's land area" Just a thought, but it would be wonderful if we could get a map showing this like a few of those on the

EL look fine, one dab (Tunny) added during the review. I think the Tunny link might be Ok, but future reviewers may not agree with me, so use your best judgment.
991:"Gibraltar instituted the practice, which still continues today, of relying on large numbers of imported Spanish workers" Could we avoid the use of "today" here?
371:
I have done so, other than for Oxford and
Cambridge University Presses - I've been told in the past that that's unnecessary as they are located in those cities.

Check for consistency with date commas, I see "By 2011, Gibraltar was attracting up to 12 million visits a year" and then "By 2007 Peter
Caruana".
948:
It shouldn't; the word "king" is being used here as an adjective, not a title. Thus "King Philip IV said..." versus "the
Spanish king Philip IV".

Oops, that was an unfortunate typo :) No issues found, that's it. I'm satisfied that this has reached the GA standards and I'll pass it now.

Fair point, I've added "and wars with other

Also, you should standardize whether you use dashes with the ISBNs or not.
