Seems correct.

FYI, on my native language (Indonesian), we say "Review yourself" as "Tinjau dirimu" for imperative mood. Unfortunately many imperative sentences on software l10n instead prefix the verb with "me-", such as "meninjau dirimu". That is not imperative mood; that is descriptive mood with infinitive verb form.

Anyway, thanks.
