Napoleon quote
User:Rama added the following quote to the article attributed to Napoleon. I appreciate the assistance very much, but I have two problems with it at the moment. The first is that the source is not one that I think complies with WP:RS, and the second is that according to a source I have (William Laird Clowes), the quote is actually referring to the Battle of Vizagapatam six months later. It is possible that Clowes is wrong, but in the absense of anything corroborating this information I have removed the quote from the article until it can be more presicely sourced. Thanks--Jackyd101 (talk) 17:16, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

"He made the French flag a laughing matter for Europe (...) It's honour that I want preserved, not mere piece of wood or men. I very much wish this unhappy event had not happened; I would have prefered loosing three ships of the line"

Please double check date
The article lists 2 different dates for this battle, 14 Feb and 15 Feb. Is there anyone who can confirm which is accurate or if both are? My research indicates that the British convoy was intercepted on the 14th but the exchange of fire takes place on the 15th, but I've lost my sourcing for it and would prefer not to edit without proper sourcing. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rastatok (talk • contribs) 05:49, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

"Aventurier"
The article makes several mentions of a Dutch brig "Aventurier". The Dutch spelling of "Adventurer" would be "Avonturier", however I have trouble finding information about this particular ship (as ships and adventurers tend to go hand in hand, muddying the search results). Also, the battle does have French involvement (and Aventurier is correct French spelling). Perhaps someone else with better knowledge of the maritime involvements in that period can shed some light on this? MiG (talk) 12:04, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
