Hello, I'm Adakiko. I noticed that in this edit to A Drop of Nelson's Blood, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Adakiko (talk) 19:25, 8 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello,
 * I hope I am properly responding here (I went to the talk page link and didn't see where to leave a message).
 * I did leave a description in the edit summary...and frankly took quite a bit of time updating & citing my source to fix information that is wrong on that page. The page now lists the wrong information again. That Nelson's body was preserved in either brandy or rum. Multiple primary and secondary sources confirm it was preserved in brandy. But that people 1. argued it should've been rum and also 2. falsely believed it was rum.
 * I cited this webpage in my edit:
 * https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/the-scandalous-decision-to-pickle-admiral-horatio-nelson-in-brandy
 * Though it is also verified on page 378 of this text as well
 * https://books.google.com/books?id=EmtnAAAAMAAJ&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=brandy
 * Ironically, the latter source is listed on the page for Haratio Nelson itself
 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horatio_Nelson,_1st_Viscount_Nelson
 * Albeit brief, I did explain in my initial edit that the current information I edited is wrong. It would give me peace of mind knowing my edit can be restored, as I feel these are enough sources to indicate the current information is inaccurate. 174.243.151.1 (talk) 19:35, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
