John Loring
Hi Jackyd, I've been reading your articles with great interest, filling some significant gaps in coverage and greatly improving others. With regard to John Wentworth Loring though, he was not actually the officer who ever commanded Bellerophon, or who was commodore at the Blockade of Saint-Domingue. That was his first-cousin, plain John Loring, who died, still a captain, at Fareham in 1808. Benea (talk) 17:49, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Damn, thanks for catching that. He was in the right place at the right time and everything - oh well. Do let me know if you catch any other errors.--Jackyd101 (talk) 18:38, 21 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Just a few typographical things I think, and far less than I am sure I have made in my time! I researched the Bellerophon captains quite a bit while rewriting that article, and the only one I haven't written one for is Loring. You can find some key service dates, like promotions and commissions, follow him from command to command and get some insights into what he was doing on some of them, but apart from a few snippets like his death announcements, there is still a lot of blank space. I can't find any proper biography or obituary unfortunately. I might consider writing one though to be honest, as there is a lot to say about certain aspects, like the progress of the blockade, but it would have virtually nothing on his early life, for example. What do you think? Benea (talk) 22:41, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Its a tricky question that I've pondered for years - where does the notability line lie with Napoleonic naval officers? On the one hand, these guys were big celebrities in their days, but there were a lot of them and many didn't do much other than sit on blockade duties year after year - I feel though that a captain at a major battle or the commander of an operation (i.e. Loring) probably should always qualify in theory. At the end of the day I think the basic notability rules are useful - if you can't find the sources to create a fleshed article (even a small one), then the subject probably doesn't meet notability requirements. The question then is where to draw the line: some are easy - if Tracy or the ODNB cover them then making an article is simple, and any one still alive after 1825 is covered by Marshall for at least the basics. After that date there are also a number of annual magazines that carry useful obituaries. However, officers who died before about 1820 are always difficult to create articles on: an example of one I made a special effort with is Thomas Byard and you can see how little I could gather on him. If you think you could muster something of around that length then its probably worthwhile, but if its only ever going to be a stub then maybe not.--Jackyd101 (talk) 23:19, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Coordinate problem for Action of 10 April 1795
I believe the coordinates on the article you started, the Action of 10 April 1795, are wrong. They seem more like the ones for the Glorious First of June. If the 10 April battle was held just west of the approaches to Brest, I think it'd be closer to land. Please tell me your thoughts. -- Veggy  (talk ) 07:04, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
 * The co-ordinates come from a reference. The difficulty in precise co-ordinates for naval actions of this type is that they often occurred across hundreds of miles of open sea. The action here began off Brest but finished far out to sea. I have changed the name accordingly. Regards--Jackyd101 (talk) 19:49, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Credo Reference Update & Survey (your opinion requested)
Credo Reference, who generously donated 400 free Credo 250 research accounts to Wikipedia editors over the past two years, has offered to expand the program to include 100 additional reference resources. Credo wants Wikipedia editors to select which resources they want most. So, we put together a quick survey to do that:


 * Link to Survey (should take between 5-10 minutes): http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/N8FQ6MM

It also asks some basic questions about what you like about the Credo program and what you might want to improve.

At this time only the initial 400 editors have accounts, but even if you do not have an account, you still might want to weigh in on which resources would be most valuable for the community (for example, through WikiProject Resource Exchange).

Also, if you have an account but no longer want to use it, please leave me a note so another editor can take your spot.

Tb hotch .™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions.  02:31, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

 

The order of battle at the Battle of Camperdown was made up of a British fleet under Admiral Adam Duncan and a Dutch fleet under Vice-Admiral Jan de Winter. The Battle of Camperdown was an important naval action of the French Revolutionary Wars, fought off Camperduin on the North Holland coast on 11 October 1797. The French Republic had overrun the Dutch Republic two years earlier, reforming it into the Batavian Republic. The battle commenced when, in a confused mass, the British attacked the Dutch line of battle in shallow coastal waters. The British ships separated into two groups that struck the vanguard and rear of the Dutch fleet, overwhelming each in turn and capturing eleven ships, including de Winter's flagship Vrijheid. Although both fleets fought hard, they were suffering from popular unrest; the Spithead and Nore mutinies in Britain continued to overshadow the Navy, while the sailors of the Dutch Navy were unhappy with French dominion and, in marked difference to their officers, were generally supporters of the exiled House of Orange.

Action of 18 August 1798
Hello,

I think that I have stumbled on a small snag with Action of 18 August 1798, and I would appreciate your thoughs on the matter.

The article currently describes as facts war crimes commited by the French crew after the capture of Leander. Recently, I have found a number of French sources that either do not mention these allegations, or explicitly refute them. Léon Guérin even traces the allegations to "the small English pamphlet in-32, titled Life of Nelson" (I suppose he refers to Clarke and McArthur's Life of Nelson, which is quoted by James to source these allegations.

I have not found any direct mention of the incident by Captain Thomas Thompson himself. Furthermore, the nature of the allegations should I think raise suspicion"
 * the British crew did not resist the plunder: Troudes gives this as an argument that the tale is implausible; James, while agreeing to the allegations without reserve, seems unsettled too ("the lions were now changed to lambs"). Apparently the French prize crew was far inferior in numbers, and unarmed.
 * the quote "j'en suis fâché, mais le fait est, que les Français sont bons au pillage": while privateers from both sides engaged in this sort of behaviour, then usually downplay it in their accounts, and make a great case of the instances in which they seized only the cargo and not personnal effect. In the mouth of a Navy officer, I find it most suspect, and oddly alligned on the anti-Jacobine propaganda of the time.
 * the accusation of various vexations against wounded is a typical theme of the propaganda of the time, often used as a general-purpose insult, much like "parricide"; it seems close to be the equivalent of present-day insinuations of similarities with the Third Reich or accusations of pædophilia.

I realise that my focus on French sources could make my request suspect, but I have tried to be as abrasive as I possibly can to similar instances of French propaganda, like on Vengeur du Peuple or Robert Surcouf. I would be very interested in your views as to whether and how this subject should be presented.

Thank you in any case, and cheers! Rama (talk) 07:19, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
 * This is very interesting and I certainly think its worthy of note. Some caution should be applied though - although I broadly agree with your analysis above, its synthesis and original research and as such cannot be used in the article - we have to stick to the references. Here is what I propose: I will rejig the article to reflect that the statements regarding the plunder of the ship are the representations of British sources. You can then add a rejoinder from French sources contradicting this (i.e. X makes no mention of this in his 1843 account while Y directly refutes it, claiming . . .). We cannot make direct comparisons with the source or introduced the synthesis above into the article as it is original research (however I think I would be good to put this conversation on the talk page). Do you think this is a good plan? If so let me know and I'll make the necessary changes to the article soon.--Jackyd101 (talk) 09:31, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for your attention. I wholeheartedly agree that some of my remarks above cannot be used within the framework of Wikipedia, to which we must abide; I should have made it clearer that I mentionned them here to justify the degree of interest I find in the comparison of French and British sources in this case, and to describe the methodology with which I located and understood some of the material. I would certainly not consider my speculations suitable inside an article.
 * As you suggest, exposing the separate narratives is probably the best way to proceed for two parallel and irreconciliable viewpoints on a same event. Copying this discussion to the talk page of the article is a nice touch.
 * Thank you again for your time and for your excellent ideas! Rama (talk) 19:22, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Re: Aircraft Carrier
Hey, I saw your comments on the first GA-review for Aircraft carrier and I was interested in cleaning up the page over the next while in some capacity. I noticed you made a comment about suggestions for finding sources and was interested in taking up the offer. Did you have any ideas in particular? I was thinking about a Google search and a trip to the library, but any others are welcome. Many thanks, Techhead7890 (talk) 09:33, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

Main Page appearance: Battle of the Nile
This is a note to let the main editors of Battle of the Nile know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on October 21, 2013. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask. You can view the TFA blurb at Today's featured article/October 21, 2013. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:

The Battle of the Nile was fought between the British and French navies at Aboukir Bay on the Egyptian coast from 1 to 3 August 1798. It ended in victory for the British under Horatio Nelson (pictured). It was the climax of a Mediterranean naval campaign during the previous three months, as a large French convoy sailed to Alexandria carrying an expeditionary force under Napoleon Bonaparte, pursued by Nelson and his fleet. After the French army had landed in Egypt, the French fleet anchored in what its commander believed was a formidable defensive position. When the British fleet arrived, Nelson ordered an immediate attack on both sides of the French position simultaneously. Trapped in a crossfire, the leading French warships were battered into surrender. The centre initially repelled the attack but was defeated after renewed assault from British reinforcements. The battle reversed the strategic situation in the Mediterranean and encouraged other European countries to turn against France. Bonaparte's army was trapped and was later defeated at the Siege of Acre. Nelson was made Baron Nelson and proclaimed a hero across Europe, and his captains were also highly praised.

March 2014 GAN Backlog Drive
It's that time again! Starting on March 1, there will be another GAN Backlog Drive! There will be several changes compared to previous drives:


 * This drive will introduce a new component to it; a point system. In a nutshell, older nominations are worth more points than newer nominations. The top 3 participants who have the points will be awarded the Golden, Silver, or Bronze Wikipedia Puzzle Piece Trophy, respectively.
 * Unlike the December 2013 Backlog Drive, earning an additional barnstar if you reached your goal has been removed.
 * The allowance to have insufficient reviews has been lowered to 2 before being disqualified.
 * An exception to the rule that all reviews must be completed before the deadline has been created.

Also, something that I thought I would share with all of you is that we raised $20.88 (USD) for the WMF in the December 2013 drive. It may not sound like a lot but considering that that was raised just because we reviewed articles, I would say that's pretty good! With that success, pledges can be made for the upcoming drive if you wish.

More info regarding the drive and full descriptions regarding the changes to this drive can be found on the the drive page. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a message on the drive talk page.

I look forward to your participation and hope that because of it, some day the backlog will be gone!

Doubt
Hi, Jackyd101. Firstly, I would like to thank you for your great contributions to Wikipedia. I am translating some of your articles into Spanish and I have to say they are top-class. Nonetheless, while trying to translate «Order of battle at the Battle of the Nile» I came across with a problem. In the bibliography you enlist two of the volumes written by William James, but in the references you don't specify to which one it refers each citation. I'm sorry if this is an inconvenient for you, but could you please tell me which volume they refer to?

I apologise for my English, but it is not my mother tongue. Thank you very much in advance, Rubpe19 12:17, 4 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Hola Rubpe, ¿com estas? Tengo un poco espanol y soy muy feliz porque tu eres traducando la pagina! Now I have demonstrated how much worse my Spanish is than your excellent English, there was one reference to volume one which was marked as such, all the others were to volume two. However, it was a bit confusing and I have therefore added the references properly. Many thanks!Jackyd101 (talk) 21:44, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, everything can be improved with practise... (and your articles do nothing but good to my English). :)) Thank you very, very much for the edition and I'm also happy that you are. Greetings, Rubpe19 19:02, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Sorry for interrupting you again. I finally completed the translation of Battle of the Nile into Spanish. I have to say it is a perfect article and that it took me quite a lot of time to complete it. I'm currently revising it and trying to revise the sources. Nevertheless, I found one problem, similar to the mentioned above. I think that the pages in the references don't match this edition of James' book. It may be because they changed the pages when they digitalized the book, but now I can't verify if they are okay and, more important, I can't add more references. I would appreciate it if you could help me solve this problem. Thanks in advance, Rubpe19 10:54, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
 * There is the same problem with the same book in other two articles, which are Action of 10 November 1808 and Action of 6 April 1809. Greetings, Rubpe19 15:50, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

WikiProject Good articles Future GAN Backlog Drive
Hello everyone! Hope you've all been having a great summer!

TheQ Editor recently proposed the idea of having another Backlog Drive in either September/October or November/December of this year. For those of you who have participated in the past two drives you know I was the one who organized them, however, come September, this will be my most important year in school so I will not be able to coordinate this drive (if it happens). TheQ Editor has volunteered to be a coordinator for the drive. If any of you would like to co-coordinator, please notify TheQ Editor on his talk page.

If you would be interested in participating in a Backlog Drive sometime before the end of this year, please notify TheQ Editor. Also, make sure to specify what month(s) work best for you.

At the time this message was sent out, the backlog was at 520 nominations. Since May, the backlog has been steadily increasing and we are currently near an all time high. Even though the backlog will not disappear over one drive, this drive can lead to several others which will (hopefully) lead to the day where there is no longer a backlog.

As always, the more participants, the better, and everyone is encouraged to participate!

GA Cup
Hello everyone! We hope you have all been having a great summer!

As we all know, the recent GAN Backlog Drives have not had any big impact on the backlog. Because of that, me (Dom497), Figureskatingfan, and TheQ Editor have worked on an idea that could possibly finally put a dent into the massive backlog. Now, I will admit, the idea isn't entirely ours as we have took the general idea of the WikiCup and brought it over to WikiProject Good Articles. But anyways, here's what we have in mind:

For all of you that do not know what the WikiCup is, it is an annual competition between several editors to see who can get the most Good Articles, Featured Article's, Did You Know's, etc. Based of this, we propose to you the GA Cup. This competition will only focus on reviewing Good articles.

For more info on the proposal, click here. As a FYI, the proposal page is not what the final product will look like (if you do go ahead with this idea). It will look very similar to WikiCup's page(s).

The discussion for the proposal will take place here. Please let us know if you are interested, have any concerns, things to consider, etc.

HMS Laforey (1913)
Back in the far mists of time (i.e. 2006), you created the article HMS Laforey (1913), which I have recently been expanding. Can you remember what you used as a source for the ship's loss? I cannot find anything that isn't a Wikipedia mirror that gives some of the details in the article (i.e. taking place in convoy escort with Laertes and striking the mine on the return ship, etc. What sources I have found are inconsistant, and don't seem even to agree on the date of Laforey's sinking.Nigel Ish (talk) 17:16, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
