The Continental Navy's Endowok and Henry frigates

[edit]

Caleb, please take a look at the article for Mayagüez, Puerto Rico and tell me if my sources are correct about the 1777 incident at Mayagüez Bay. I went to the Continental Navy's article, and could account for 11 of the 13 frigates. Were the Endowok and the Henry the other two? Demf 19:45, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion

[edit]

The excellent argument you made at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Second battle of Hogwarts would probably work well at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Second Wizarding War as well. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 13:17, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They're trying to kill that article too? Christ. I'm on it. Auror 13:34, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Pretty much every new HP article (and there are several) is up for deletion. Example: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gellert Grindelwald. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 14:09, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'll do what I can to at least get my vote in on these to help out. Auror 14:17, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

If you ever require any astance all you have to do is ask and you will see my ship on the horizon. Kyriakos 03:30, 11 September 2007 (UTC) [reply]

Possible edit warring on project article

[edit]

There seems to be some issues going on over on the article : Military history of African Americans, in particularly in the section Military history of African Americans#Confederate States Army. Could you take a look at the article's edit history as well as the discussion, Talk:Military history of African Americans, and possibly give some input? Thanks.

Leopard vrs Cheasapeak

[edit]

If i am not mistaken anything bigger than a fifth rate was considered a ship of the line, since Leopard was a fourth rate does that not make her a ship-of-the-line? XavierGreen —Preceding unsigned comment added by XavierGreen (talk • contribs) 22:17, 21 April 2008 (UTC) Since a neither of us really know for certain whether it was a ship of the line or a frigate, and since fourth rates could be either, why not leave it as simply a fourth rate?

Uss Constellation

[edit]

Sorry for the faux pas-this was my first entry to Wiki. While I'm not familiar with the arming of the lesser known frigates I do know that the better known US frigates were never armed with the same number of guns as their rating. Also, in the Royal Navy carronade were not considered guns and were not counted as such when stating the armament of larger ships. The typical British 38 gun frigate might be armed with 22 long 18's,14 long 12's and 2 long 9 bow chasers. A US 38 like the Constellation typically carried 28 long 18's,20 x 32pdr carronades and a pair of bow chasers-50 or so cannon. The 44 gunners carried 30 long 24's,22 x 32 or 42 carronade and 2 chasers. My original source was Howard Chapelle's 'History of American Sailing Ships' which I believe was published in the 1930's. Every serious book/article I've read in the last 40 years has recognized that difference between rating and actual armament carried. The Constellation NEVER carried 38 long 18's-couldn't have done it. She was originally armed with long 24's and 12's but was changed to 18's and carronades early in her career-1799 may well be correct. I've just begun reading a book about the Essex 32 and she was carrying approx 40 carronade and 6 long guns when she was captured.Gladbag (talk) 16:23, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was just checking the other 38 gunners and they both show 28x18pdr and 20x32pdr carronade. I believe the articles are still missing the bow chasers. The articles on the 44 gunners show very reasonable armaments.Gladbag (talk) 21:28, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Updates to "Burning of Platte City"

[edit]

I think the Burning of Platte City section needs updating based on "William M Paxton 1905 Deposition of Civil War Courthouse Burining", published in Platte County Missouri Historical & Genealogical Society Bulletin of January-April 2010. Much of the deposition confirms facts included in the Wikipedia article but does dispute the statement at the end of the article: "In 1864 he returned to Platte City and Union troops once again burned the city." The Bulletin is not available online but I can provide an electronic copy if you are interested.Jau53 (talk) 03:14, 31 December 2010 (UTC) Jim U'Ren jim.uren@gmail.com 1105 4th St Platte City, MO[reply]
