Talk:Battle of Monte Santiago

Unsigned comment
''At the second day, the Brazilian vessel ´´Paula´´ opened fire at the brigantine ´´Independencia´´. The ´´Independencia´´ (that had lesser firepower) lost it´s masts, and to prevent the ship from sunking, twelve cannons were thrown overboard. As a consequence Francis Drummond, it´s Captain, was wounded by a sliver that cut his ear. At 4 pm Drummond didn´t had any more powder left, and had already fired his supply of three thousand rounds. Drummond managed to use anchor chains as amunition. By then he ordered to abandon ship, but the crew fiercely refused his command. Then Drummond, in order to resupply amunition, sailed in a lifeboat to the flagship ´´Republica´´. At that moment he was hit by 24 lbs cannonball that destroyed his pelvis and right leg and died.''

Well, once again an argentinean transform a historic text into a patriotic one. Sir if you want to add information you think you know try to make as if you are a person whose interest is to make thinks clear and true, not to make a historical fact a myth of upmost patriotic fever. Try, at least, to use brazilian sources to make thinks balanced.

The text was almost certain made by one who used only argentinean and spanish sources. Decrease opponent's win and increase the bravery of the defeated. What to expect from Argentines? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.214.156.29 (talk) 01:47, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Change infobox result to "decisive victory"?
To discuss an edit that was reverted by Torimem

Per the definition of "Decisive victory" in its article - It's a victory that conclusively decides the objective being fought over, "deciding the outcome to a campaign though not necessarily to the war as a whole". In the naval theatre of operations of the Cisplatine war, the Brazilian Navy's objective was the naval blockade of Buenos Aires. After Monte Santiago, the Navy of the United Provinces effectively became unable to contest the blockade, as mentioned by Brian Vale himself.

The very first line of the article describes it as a decisive victory, so what's the problem with changing the result in the infobox? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jesterr35 (talk • contribs) 23:07, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
