"H.M.S. Lady Nelson" or something? --Wetman 04:25, 14 July 2005 (UTC)


 * I pondered this, and decided against it on the grounds that a) the real Lady Nelson would, if she had a page, be listed under her first name and last name, rather than her title (Lord Nelson is on here as Horatio Nelson for example); b) she doesn't have a page anyway. The usual disambiguation for ships seems to be in the form of Loch Ard (ship) or James Craig (barque) which would make this "Lady Nelson (brig)" if it were to happen... but at the moment my preference would be to leave it, and perhaps put a pointer to a page for the person if/when one is created.  --Skud 07:35, 14 July 2005 (UTC)


 * The current name, "HMS Lady Nelson (1798)", is almost certainly incorrect. HMS is a prefix for ships, not brigs.  Geo Swan (talk) 22:11, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

"American war against Spain"?
The article currently says:

The USA did go to war with Spain -- the Spanish-American War, Teddy Roosevelt's "Splendid little war" -- but it was almost 100 years later.

The USA's first declared war was with Tripoli, in 1805, and was confined exclusively to the Mediterranean.

So, I request clarification of this passage. Geo Swan (talk) 22:11, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

Lady Nelson (replica ship)
There is information in the history of the above redirect which could be used to expand this article, or could possible be a stand-alone article if enough independent reliable source material is found. &mdash;Anne Delong (talk) 21:10, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
