This is such an interesting and well laid out article! Thank you for creating it. The review: This is a new article, nominated in time.

- Hello, I was using regulate in the etymological sense, from the Latin regula or "rule", as the "rule" was for the flag to be raised when they made harbour - but yes, facilitate would work at least as well, as it would presumably have served to make trade more facile (facilis being Latin for easy, if my facilties still serve me right), Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 23:55, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
