Your Action of 26 April 1797 DYK has been approved, but a suggestion has been made that it be held for a few weeks so it appears on the main page on 26 April 2012 (which would be its 215th anniversary). Can you please let us know on the template page whether you would prefer it to run on the 26th, or run in the next few days? Thank you, and thanks again for submitting the DYK hook!

When you recently edited Action of 22 August 1795, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Broadsides (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Materialscientist (talk) 16:04, 21 April 2012 (UTC) John LoringHi Jackyd, I've been reading your articles with great interest, filling some significant gaps in coverage and greatly improving others. With regard to John Wentworth Loring though, he was not actually the officer who ever commanded Bellerophon, or who was commodore at the Blockade of Saint-Domingue. That was his first-cousin, plain John Loring, who died, still a captain, at Fareham in 1808. Benea (talk) 17:49, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Coordinate problem for Action of 10 April 1795I believe the coordinates on the article you started, the Action of 10 April 1795, are wrong. They seem more like the ones for the Glorious First of June. If the 10 April battle was held just west of the approaches to Brest, I think it'd be closer to land. Please tell me your thoughts. -- Veggy (talk) 07:04, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

Credo Reference Update & Survey (your opinion requested)Credo Reference, who generously donated 400 free Credo 250 research accounts to Wikipedia editors over the past two years, has offered to expand the program to include 100 additional reference resources. Credo wants Wikipedia editors to select which resources they want most. So, we put together a quick survey to do that:
It also asks some basic questions about what you like about the Credo program and what you might want to improve. At this time only the initial 400 editors have accounts, but even if you do not have an account, you still might want to weigh in on which resources would be most valuable for the community (for example, through WikiProject Resource Exchange). Also, if you have an account but no longer want to use it, please leave me a note so another editor can take your spot.

This is a note to let the main editors of the article Order of battle at the Battle of Camperdown know that it will be appearing as the main page featured list on October 8, 2012. You can view the TFL blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured list/October 8, 2012. If you think it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured list directors The Rambling Man (talk · contribs), Dabomb87 (talk · contribs) or Giants2008 (talk · contribs), or at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured list. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of the suggested formatting. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :D Thanks! Tbhotch.™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 02:31, 4 October 2012 (UTC) The order of battle at the Battle of Camperdown was made up of a British fleet under Admiral Adam Duncan and a Dutch fleet under Vice-Admiral Jan de Winter. The Battle of Camperdown was an important naval action of the French Revolutionary Wars, fought off Camperduin on the North Holland coast on 11 October 1797. The French Republic had overrun the Dutch Republic two years earlier, reforming it into the Batavian Republic. The battle commenced when, in a confused mass, the British attacked the Dutch line of battle in shallow coastal waters. The British ships separated into two groups that struck the vanguard and rear of the Dutch fleet, overwhelming each in turn and capturing eleven ships, including de Winter's flagship Vrijheid. Although both fleets fought hard, they were suffering from popular unrest; the Spithead and Nore mutinies in Britain continued to overshadow the Navy, while the sailors of the Dutch Navy were unhappy with French dominion and, in marked difference to their officers, were generally supporters of the exiled House of Orange.

However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

The DYK project (nominate) 08:03, 17 April 2013 (UTC) Action of 18 August 1798Hello, I think that I have stumbled on a small snag with Action of 18 August 1798, and I would appreciate your thoughs on the matter. The article currently describes as facts war crimes commited by the French crew after the capture of Leander. Recently, I have found a number of French sources that either do not mention these allegations, or explicitly refute them. Léon Guérin even traces the allegations to "the small English pamphlet in-32, titled Life of Nelson" (I suppose he refers to Clarke and McArthur's Life of Nelson, which is quoted by James to source these allegations. I have not found any direct mention of the incident by Captain Thomas Thompson himself. Furthermore, the nature of the allegations should I think raise suspicion"
I realise that my focus on French sources could make my request suspect, but I have tried to be as abrasive as I possibly can to similar instances of French propaganda, like on Vengeur du Peuple or Robert Surcouf. I would be very interested in your views as to whether and how this subject should be presented. Thank you in any case, and cheers! Rama (talk) 07:19, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Firstly, I would like to thank you for your great contributions to Wikipedia. I am translating some of your articles into Spanish and I have to say they are top-class. Nonetheless, while trying to translate «Order of battle at the Battle of the Nile» I came across with a problem. In the bibliography you enlist two of the volumes written by William James, but in the references you don't specify to which one it refers each citation. I'm sorry if this is an inconvenient for you, but could you please tell me which volume they refer to? I apologise for my English, but it is not my mother tongue. Thank you very much in advance, Rubpe19 12:17, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Hope you've all been having a great summer! TheQ Editor recently proposed the idea of having another Backlog Drive in either September/October or November/December of this year. For those of you who have participated in the past two drives you know I was the one who organized them, however, come September, this will be my most important year in school so I will not be able to coordinate this drive (if it happens). TheQ Editor has volunteered to be a coordinator for the drive. If any of you would like to co-coordinator, please notify TheQ Editor on his talk page. If you would be interested in participating in a Backlog Drive sometime before the end of this year, please notify TheQ Editor. Also, make sure to specify what month(s) work best for you. At the time this message was sent out, the backlog was at 520 nominations. Since May, the backlog has been steadily increasing and we are currently near an all time high. Even though the backlog will not disappear over one drive, this drive can lead to several others which will (hopefully) lead to the day where there is no longer a backlog. As always, the more participants, the better, and everyone is encouraged to participate! Sent by Dom497--MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 15:52, 16 August 2014 (UTC) The Bugle: Issue CI, August 2014

We hope you have all been having a great summer! As we all know, the recent GAN Backlog Drives have not had any big impact on the backlog. Because of that, me (Dom497), Figureskatingfan, and TheQ Editor have worked on an idea that could possibly finally put a dent into the massive backlog. Now, I will admit, the idea isn't entirely ours as we have took the general idea of the WikiCup and brought it over to WikiProject Good Articles. But anyways, here's what we have in mind: For all of you that do not know what the WikiCup is, it is an annual competition between several editors to see who can get the most Good Articles, Featured Article's, Did You Know's, etc. Based of this, we propose to you the GA Cup. This competition will only focus on reviewing Good articles. For more info on the proposal, click here. As a FYI, the proposal page is not what the final product will look like (if you do go ahead with this idea). It will look very similar to WikiCup's page(s). The discussion for the proposal will take place here. Please let us know if you are interested, have any concerns, things to consider, etc. --Dom497, Figureskatingfan, and TheQ Editor MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 01:29, 31 August 2014 (UTC) WikiProject Good Articles - GA Cup

MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 01:35, 7 December 2014 (UTC) Back in the far mists of time (i.e. 2006), you created the article HMS Laforey (1913), which I have recently been expanding. Can you remember what you used as a source for the ship's loss? I cannot find anything that isn't a Wikipedia mirror that gives some of the details in the article (i.e. taking place in convoy escort with Laertes and striking the mine on the return ship, etc. What sources I have found are inconsistant, and don't seem even to agree on the date of Laforey's sinking.Nigel Ish (talk) 17:16, 18 December 2014 (UTC) The Bugle: Issue CV, December 2014
