Talk:Action of 25 January 1797

Reliability
The article claims there are no English language sources for this event. That in itself is a bit suspicious - the Royal Navy was pretty scrupulous about recording every victory, defeat and inconclusive action. Moreover I see that Meleager and the same RN ships mentioned supposedly captured a Spanish ship by the same name around the same time. This calls into question the two Spanish language sources used to support all the contentious statements in this article. So, there are WP:V issues and there are also WP:N issues. While I appreciate that at this point in history it might seem that for the Spanish navy not to lose a ship is a 'victory', in reality I think an"inconclusive" result might be more appropriate. Assuming this event even happened. Wiki-Ed (talk) 21:43, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
