Talk:Spanish–Algerian War (1775–1785)

Algerian victory?
The war ended after the Spanish victory at Argel in 1784. The Algerians were defeated and never again resurfaced as a menace in the Mediterranean.

Infobox "Result"
Please note that Template:Infobox military conflict states against "result" that "this parameter may use one of two standard terms: "X victory" or "Inconclusive"." The infobox has been amended to reflect this. Please read the template "result" guidance in full before amending or reverting. It would probably be best to discuss any proposed change here first to seek consensus. Thanks. Gog the Mild (talk) 17:23, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

Edit-warring over result
I've been messaged by ⵟⵓⵔⴽⵉⵙⵀⴽⴰⴱⵢⵍ about an edit-war here. I'm not going to give my opinion on the "result", but I am inviting both users (@ⵟⵓⵔⴽⵉⵙⵀⴽⴰⴱⵢⵍ and @Emilioveh) to discuss the result on the talk page here and to reach a consensus, which is the standard process on Wikipedia when there is a disagreement over a change; see WP:BRD. The stable version of the article should usually remain until then, per WP:STATUSQUO. No matter what, do not engage in edit-warring.

Please note that, as another user mentioned above, the infobox result should usually only state "(...) victory" or "inconclusive". If there is no agreement on a result of this type, then it should be left blank or it should direct readers to a relevant section of the article. (See Template:Infobox military conflict.)

Emilioveh, as you are the one proposing the change, please keep these issues in mind: You have not provided proper citations to support your change so far. Your initial citations were incomplete and your last edit included two URLs to the same non-accessible Spanish source, which also appears to be written by a polemic author, not a historian. Please provide full bibliographical information, including title, page number, and so on, and make sure that they are reliable sources (in this case, publications by academic historians relevant to this topic). If a source is not accessible online for other readers, I recommend you provide a quote from the relevant passage in the source that supports the change you are proposing.
