:My comment suggesting a name change (previous section) has been up for two weeks and has received only one comment, and I don't know whether that one is in favor or opposed to the change. Anyway, I am now making it official, although I am not sure that the title I have chosen is actually the best.

Article
It is late, I plan on finishing this page tomorrow.--Az81964444 (talk) 05:44, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
The different section are there because I plan on making the sections sometime togay, maybe I will start now. I began this page last night and as it states above, planned on finishing it today. Therefore it will cease having too many sections for such a small article in its current state.--Az81964444 (talk) 20:00, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
Article name
I suggest that a more recognizable title be found for this article. I doubt that even serious Civil War buffs would know what is meant by the present title. A couple of alternatives come to mind:
- 1. Encounter between CSS H. L. Hunley and USS Housatonic, or
- 2. Sinking of USS Housatonic by CSS H. L. Hunley.

- The "Action of..." format is consistent with our other similarly-themed articles, although I agree it's not immediately obvious what the article is about. Can we retain the existing title and put in place redirects for the other suggested titles? (assuming that's not already been done!) EyeSerenetalk 14:52, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
- I have to disagree. Some events are known by their dates (e.g. The Glorious First of June), but I can't think of any American battles in any war that are identified that way. And any other Wikipedia articles named in this fashion should be renamed, on the general principle that the title should be whatever most readers would use for searches (consistent, of course, with accuracy).
