Random Critiques of Poorly-Written Wikis #1

From Wikipedia article The Guns of Navarone (film):
"During the remainder of the voyage, Mallory confides to Franklin that Andrea has sworn to kill him after the war, because he was inadvertently responsible for the deaths of Andrea's wife and children."

During the remainder of the voyage. "During"? That makes it sound like confiding this to Franklin occupies the whole remainder of the voyage! Either that, or he just keeps bringing it up and bringing it up.

Give it a rest, buddy!

Also, the "him" and "he" are a little vague, but I think we are forced to conclude that they can only refer to Mallory.
