Hello. I don't understand why my minor copy edit was reverted. As HMSSaracen did not leave an edit summary, I would have to guess - I hope that it was an accident.
Just in case it helps, let me go through (most of) what I did:
If an article's title is a formal or widely accepted name for the subject, display it in bold as early as possible in the first sentence.
Articles on topics with strong ties to a particular English-speaking country should generally use the date format most commonly used in that nation. For the United States this is (for example) July 4, 1976; for most other English-speaking countries it is 4 July 1976.
He was the eldest son of Vice-Admiral Henry Hill (1775-1849) and Ann Worsley (1779-1805).There were literally two of them sitting there cheek by jowl, saying the same thing twice. They were saying the same thing twice. They were saying the same thing twice ... oh never mind!
he remanded a lieutenant on the HMS Andromachedoesn't sound right to me.
I think that's all. I still can't understand why my inoffensive edit, which was intended to welcome this interesting new article and move it towards our standard format, as well as taking out a couple of errors, was reverted without even a comment. As I say, I hope it was merely an error; in case it was not, it might be worth taking a look at WP:OWN which explains that none of us "own" our creations - we have handed them over to the world as soon as we pressed "Publish"!
Hope this helps, best wishes to all DBaK ( talk) 09:42, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
