The Army National Guard has a Camp Perry that is named after him. The location of this base is in Port Clinton, Ohio.
it is apparently attributed to him "We have met the enemy and they are ours" -- Oliver "Hazard" Perry Dwarf Kirlston today
What about "Don't Give Up the Ship!" Something about his motto and his flagship transfer during the Battle of Lake Erie should be included. DirectorStratton 15:12, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
Minor edit: first, I found a period painting of Perry that looks better than the engraving/drawing posted previously. Second, the phrase DON'T GIVE UP THE SHIP was tagged to an article about a game with that title, when it should have been about the flag itself (there is no article about the flag). I have also capitalized the phrase as it is written on the flag. The painting of Perry also includes the flag. Carajou 05:42, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

The Medal itself should be an expanded a part of this article, with a photo of the medal. See Alexander Macomb (American general) for an example of how this was done. 7&6=thirteen ( talk) 14:26, 26 September 2010 (UTC) Stan
The Battle of Derne article has more on what he did in Tripoli. 211.225.34.183 ( talk) 03:38, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
There's no need to list all of the campaigns on the Great Lakes in the lede, but I'd add a sentence or so about the dispute with Eliot as that gets a fair amount of coverage in the main body.-- Sturmvogel 66 ( talk) 15:18, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

1. Well-written:
(a) the prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct;
(b) it complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.
2. Factually accurate and verifiable:
(a) it provides references to all sources of information in the section(s) dedicated to the attribution of these sources according to the guide to layout;
(b) it provides in-line citations from reliable sources for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines;
(c) it contains no original research.
Broad in its coverage:
(a) it addresses the main aspects of the topic;
(b) it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without bias.
Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
Illustrated, if possible, by images:
(a) images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content;
(b) images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.
The first paragraph that says Sarah is a direct descendent of William Wallace may be wrong.
The link points to the Scottish leader of the 1200's but his page says nothing of any children. Google also doesn't seem to make any mention of a relationship of Sarah and the famous Wallace. The book citation does say otherwise though.
Should the William Wallace page be changed to mention kids? Is there some other discrepancy? Slothman32 ( talk) 08:55, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
Sarah was not a direct descendent of William Wallace. Multiple geneaology sites trace Sarah's ancestry to Richard Wallace, the brother (or step brother) Williams father Alan < http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=maclaren&id=I13137>.
Some accounts report that Richard sheltered William from "the authories" when he ran amuck as a young man.< http://books.google.com/books?id=4EfCAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA57&lpg=PA57&dq=william+wallace+richard+youth&source=bl&ots=_8zBuiZjxx&sig=t9speTXHOVjjKbyJROihhsbWNzo&hl=en&sa=X&ei=hTkjVLetF-j2iwKHuoGoDw&ved=0CDcQ6AEwBA#v=onepage&q=william%20wallace%20richard%20youth&f=false> Nilpad ( talk) 21:39, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
The bibliography and reference sections need work. A bibliography is a list of books used as references -- it is not a grouping of inline citations which are supposed to be listed under 'References'. Also, 'Cite book' should be used once per book, in the bibliography, not stuck in the body of the text, and then referred/linked to with cite-tags :<ref>[[#Book-reference|Author-name, 19XX]] The 'blockquote' was used incorrectly with the signature floating about outside the quote box area. Attempted to fix but was reverted only to see another error take its place. -- Gwillhickers ( talk) 19:37, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
"Don't give up the ship" attributed to Oliver Hazard Perry. See Captain James Lawrence, Wikipedia. According to this account, honoring his friend and fallen comrade Captain James Lawrence, Oliver Hazard Perry adopted James Lawrence's saying, "Don't Give Up the Ship" and put it on his battle flag. Kristin Augustine Christensen, ancestor of James Lawrence — Preceding unsigned comment added by FleetGhost ( talk • contribs) 21:42, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
Faithful to the words of his battle flag, "DON'T GIVE UP THE SHIP" (a paraphrase of the dying words of Captain James Lawrence, the ship's namesake and Perry's friend.
