Dear Benea. I've just started an article about Robert Mann (admiral), from the age of Nelson, Vice-Admiral of the Red. Would you help me to find more information about him? I think he took part during the blockade of the french fleet at Brest, and that was present in many sea engagements between the french and british fleets. Such an able seaman deserves to be mentioned in the Trafalgar Campaign. By the way, I think his dad died fighting a french ship off Madeira in 1762, although the year seems contradictory.

Hi Benea, Keysanger and I would appreciate it if you had a moment to comment on the talk page for the article on Chilean ship Lautaro (1818). The article was originally Chilean ship Lautaro (1818), the date reflecting her entry into the Chilean navy, after her service as the East Indiaman Windham, launched in 1800. Keysanger moved the article to reflect the launch year. Essentially, I would prefer to move the article to Windham (1800), with supporting redirects, on the grounds that hybrid names are confusing and that generally ship articles should bear the name of the first incarnation. Keyswanger prefers the move he initiated, arguing that the vessel means more to the Chileans than Windham does to anyone, and that ship article names should reflect launch years. Your thoughts? Regards, Acad Ronin ( talk) 01:28, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi, I've written a piece on Anna, the store ship in Anson's squadron see Anna (ship). She was burnt at Juan Fernandez in 1741. On lloyds register there is an Anna Maria Margaretta listed as lost on 15 May 1741, the day she was burnt. I'm looking for more info, and also of her Master, Mr Gerrard. Can you assist? Thanks! 87.113.62.251 ( talk) 19:25, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for the reply. I was writing from memory, will get the online reference to the ship insurance record, you're right, can't have been Lloyds but another source of merchant vessel list, cannot recall which one, will get it later today from my other computer which has my search history, but the coincidence that the date is the day after the arrival is potentially significant, the historical record may reflect that information. I agree she was probably broken-up, but most likely the hulk was burnt, but will need to look at the sources, Glynn says broken-up and I think Pack says burnt? Do you have the source that only "one or two" of Gerrard's crew petitioned? Many thanks for your assistance!
Note that Anson also writes that the Anna was broken up. Heaps's Log of the Centurion which included details of all the ships could only say of the Anna that she was scuttled on 20 August 1741. I'd be surprised if she was burnt, Anson had been unwilling to fire the ships' guns in case they alerted any Spanish on the island to the presence of the British ships and word got out of their mission. Burning a ship would have certainly run that risk. And the useful timbers would have made burning her a foolish proposition. Anson notes that he arranged her purchase specifically to break her up for her parts, which "would be useful in refitting the other ships, and which were at present very scarce in the squadron..." As to more details, Heaps couldn't add more than a very basic summary, no launch dates at all. Colledge similarly only notes that she had been hired in 1739, i.e. before the Anson expedition, and was purchased in 1741, i.e. by Anson at Juan Fernandez, and that she was scuttled on 28 August off Juan Fernandez. The Lloyd's Register for 1764 lists numerous ships named Anna or some variation on it, and I know from experience how easy it is to confuse one ship of the same name for another. But if you really have the Anna Maria Margaretta listed as lost on 15 May 1741, it's still three months before Anson's Anna arrived at Juan Fernandez. Benea ( talk) 07:20, 12 March 2013 (UTC)The Pink being thus broken up, Mr Gerard, with the hands belonging to the Pink, were sent aboard the Gloucester; as that ship had buried the greatest number of men, in proportion to her complement. But afterwards, one or two of them were received on board the Centurion, on their own petition, they being extremely averse to sailing in the same ship with their old master, on account of some particular ill usage they conceived they had suffered from him.
Okay good, I'll try to find the reference to 'burnt', in the meantime the reference to Anna Maria Margaretta was in Lloyds list, see this link- Lloyds list It probably is a coincidence, but interesting it was the day after Anna arrived in Juan Fernandez. I'm pulling the Admiralty records Glyn Williams references regarding the planning of the voyage to see if I can find details of Anna, her owners and Master there.

Hello,
I can totally see the point of taking out links to external articles if wiki articles already exist. I do not see the point in adding redline links to a non-existent article, unless the person who has done that action is going to commit themselves to populate those articles to a B-Class level of content within the next 30 days, and has instant access to a dozen varied sources for each article.
It is in nobody's interest to repeat ad-nauseum the content of an already existing source, such as the websites of the late Michael Phillips, or Paul Benyon. (The more common name for total repetition is plagiarism, and I believe this is not allowed under the principles of Wikipedia.) It is for this reason that I have restored the links. If you can provide substantive evidence that the progressive course of action, as outlined in the previous paragraph, is going ahead, I will unequivocally undo said action.

Hi, Ben!
Do you think you can fix some erroneous entries for me. If you look at entries for British wooden-hulled screw frigates, you will see that there are references to a so-called Immortalité class allegedly grouping the frigates Immortalité (1859), Newcastle (1860), Bristol (1861), Glasgow (1861) and Undaunted (1861) - and the author attributes the design of this so-called class to William Symonds.
The trouble is that this data is sheer bunkum. For a start, the Immortalité was one of three frigates of the Emerald class (although Immortalité was lengthened during construction by another 14 feet compared with her sisters Emerald and Melpomene). She should not be grouped with the Newcastle, Bristol, Glasgow and Undaunted, which while of similar size constituted an entirely different and later design, actually termed the Bristol class to which 14 ships were ordered (although ten of these were cancelled). Thus there was never an Immortalité "class". And incidentally, William Symonds (who left office in 1848) never had anything to do with the designs for any of these screw frigates of the 1850s!
I do know the website from which the erroneous information came. Sadly, it's factually incorrect!
Can you kindly correct the entries for these five frigates (including the templates at the bottom of their respective pages, which I don't know how to do)? The actual composition of these classes are set out in the article
List of frigate classes of the Royal Navy and can be found in print in "
The Sail and Steam Navy List 1815-1889" (as well as in the forthcoming fourth volume in my
British Warships in the Age of Sail series, which will be published early in 2014 and will cover all RN vessels of 1817-1863, including the early steam vessels). Many thanks! Regards, Rif.

I know, the correct writing of the name Goetzen is very controversial, but I think, the family von Goetzen will know it at the best.

Good catch on SS Mormacsun with the date. I was using the usually reliable shipbuildinghistory with a specific date, delivery "8-Jun-41" in a time and USMC # ordered sequence, that is also found in some other sources. Now after checking Lloyd's 1940-41 where the fact the ship is listed supports 1940 and the next two years with 1940 listed (note three other Mormac ships in the 1941-42 listing have changed years) also lends support to another glitch in several otherwise reliable sources. Several official histories mention Mormacsun in connection with the first shipments of aircraft to Australia and Java December 1941-January 1942. Specifically the ship is noted as carrying sixty-seven crated P-40s that were quite important in those early days. Several of the sources cite the ship as being 4,996 tons—a figure matching the Mormacsun already sold to Brazil. The ship carrying those P-40s had to have been the C3. Such fast prewar rush from June to war zone six months later is possible, but certainly a very new ship. The 1940 date pretty well nails the fact the ship involved was the still relatively new C3 and not the earlier 4,996 ton Mormacsun. Palmeira ( talk) 21:19, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi Benea.
I saw your contribution to the Tiger class cruiser Talk page. Entirely agree with you. However, I've posted some material on the Tiger class Talk page myself that should explain the tactical rationale for those ships. A topic that the anonymous editor seems to have no knowledge of. Perhaps it will help future editors to reconstruct that article. I don't feel willing to do that myself, esp since there is so much wrong with it that it would perhaps be better to scrap it entirely and start over on a clean sheet.

I am curious about your move of this article to MV Ithaca when the ship as constructed through at least the start of WW II was driven by a triple expansion steam engine.

Do you have such information? Palmeira ( talk) 23:11, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
Ben, can I ask you to sort out a technical error which I can't fathom. I was editing the article on the French frigate Boudeuse, and it now doesn't appear to function properly at the start. Your technical proficiency being much better than mine, can you correct whatever error I've made please? The data I have inserted are correct (I could cite my forthcoming book on French Warships in the Age of sail, 1786-1861, but that would be a little premature as it's not out until early next year), so please leave that in.

Hi Benea. A summary of a Featured Article you nominated at WP:FAC will appear on the Main Page soon. Does the article need more work before its day on the Main Page? I had to squeeze the summary down to a little over 1200 characters; was there anything I left out you'd like to see put back in? - Dank ( push to talk) 00:15, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Heinrich Bleichrodt.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
{{
Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy.

Dear Benea. I've just started an article about Robert Mann (admiral), from the age of Nelson, Vice-Admiral of the Red. Would you help me to find more information about him? I think he took part during the blockade of the french fleet at Brest, and that was present in many sea engagements between the french and british fleets. Such an able seaman deserves to be mentioned in the Trafalgar Campaign. By the way, I think his dad died fighting a french ship off Madeira in 1762, although the year seems contradictory.

Hi Benea, Keysanger and I would appreciate it if you had a moment to comment on the talk page for the article on Chilean ship Lautaro (1818). The article was originally Chilean ship Lautaro (1818), the date reflecting her entry into the Chilean navy, after her service as the East Indiaman Windham, launched in 1800. Keysanger moved the article to reflect the launch year. Essentially, I would prefer to move the article to Windham (1800), with supporting redirects, on the grounds that hybrid names are confusing and that generally ship articles should bear the name of the first incarnation. Keyswanger prefers the move he initiated, arguing that the vessel means more to the Chileans than Windham does to anyone, and that ship article names should reflect launch years. Your thoughts? Regards, Acad Ronin ( talk) 01:28, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi, I've written a piece on Anna, the store ship in Anson's squadron see Anna (ship). She was burnt at Juan Fernandez in 1741. On lloyds register there is an Anna Maria Margaretta listed as lost on 15 May 1741, the day she was burnt. I'm looking for more info, and also of her Master, Mr Gerrard. Can you assist? Thanks! 87.113.62.251 ( talk) 19:25, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for the reply. I was writing from memory, will get the online reference to the ship insurance record, you're right, can't have been Lloyds but another source of merchant vessel list, cannot recall which one, will get it later today from my other computer which has my search history, but the coincidence that the date is the day after the arrival is potentially significant, the historical record may reflect that information. I agree she was probably broken-up, but most likely the hulk was burnt, but will need to look at the sources, Glynn says broken-up and I think Pack says burnt? Do you have the source that only "one or two" of Gerrard's crew petitioned? Many thanks for your assistance!
Note that Anson also writes that the Anna was broken up. Heaps's Log of the Centurion which included details of all the ships could only say of the Anna that she was scuttled on 20 August 1741. I'd be surprised if she was burnt, Anson had been unwilling to fire the ships' guns in case they alerted any Spanish on the island to the presence of the British ships and word got out of their mission. Burning a ship would have certainly run that risk. And the useful timbers would have made burning her a foolish proposition. Anson notes that he arranged her purchase specifically to break her up for her parts, which "would be useful in refitting the other ships, and which were at present very scarce in the squadron..." As to more details, Heaps couldn't add more than a very basic summary, no launch dates at all. Colledge similarly only notes that she had been hired in 1739, i.e. before the Anson expedition, and was purchased in 1741, i.e. by Anson at Juan Fernandez, and that she was scuttled on 28 August off Juan Fernandez. The Lloyd's Register for 1764 lists numerous ships named Anna or some variation on it, and I know from experience how easy it is to confuse one ship of the same name for another. But if you really have the Anna Maria Margaretta listed as lost on 15 May 1741, it's still three months before Anson's Anna arrived at Juan Fernandez. Benea ( talk) 07:20, 12 March 2013 (UTC)The Pink being thus broken up, Mr Gerard, with the hands belonging to the Pink, were sent aboard the Gloucester; as that ship had buried the greatest number of men, in proportion to her complement. But afterwards, one or two of them were received on board the Centurion, on their own petition, they being extremely averse to sailing in the same ship with their old master, on account of some particular ill usage they conceived they had suffered from him.
Okay good, I'll try to find the reference to 'burnt', in the meantime the reference to Anna Maria Margaretta was in Lloyds list, see this link- Lloyds list It probably is a coincidence, but interesting it was the day after Anna arrived in Juan Fernandez. I'm pulling the Admiralty records Glyn Williams references regarding the planning of the voyage to see if I can find details of Anna, her owners and Master there.

Hello,
I can totally see the point of taking out links to external articles if wiki articles already exist. I do not see the point in adding redline links to a non-existent article, unless the person who has done that action is going to commit themselves to populate those articles to a B-Class level of content within the next 30 days, and has instant access to a dozen varied sources for each article.
It is in nobody's interest to repeat ad-nauseum the content of an already existing source, such as the websites of the late Michael Phillips, or Paul Benyon. (The more common name for total repetition is plagiarism, and I believe this is not allowed under the principles of Wikipedia.) It is for this reason that I have restored the links. If you can provide substantive evidence that the progressive course of action, as outlined in the previous paragraph, is going ahead, I will unequivocally undo said action.

Hi, Ben!
Do you think you can fix some erroneous entries for me. If you look at entries for British wooden-hulled screw frigates, you will see that there are references to a so-called Immortalité class allegedly grouping the frigates Immortalité (1859), Newcastle (1860), Bristol (1861), Glasgow (1861) and Undaunted (1861) - and the author attributes the design of this so-called class to William Symonds.
The trouble is that this data is sheer bunkum. For a start, the Immortalité was one of three frigates of the Emerald class (although Immortalité was lengthened during construction by another 14 feet compared with her sisters Emerald and Melpomene). She should not be grouped with the Newcastle, Bristol, Glasgow and Undaunted, which while of similar size constituted an entirely different and later design, actually termed the Bristol class to which 14 ships were ordered (although ten of these were cancelled). Thus there was never an Immortalité "class". And incidentally, William Symonds (who left office in 1848) never had anything to do with the designs for any of these screw frigates of the 1850s!
I do know the website from which the erroneous information came. Sadly, it's factually incorrect!
Can you kindly correct the entries for these five frigates (including the templates at the bottom of their respective pages, which I don't know how to do)? The actual composition of these classes are set out in the article
List of frigate classes of the Royal Navy and can be found in print in "
The Sail and Steam Navy List 1815-1889" (as well as in the forthcoming fourth volume in my
British Warships in the Age of Sail series, which will be published early in 2014 and will cover all RN vessels of 1817-1863, including the early steam vessels). Many thanks! Regards, Rif.

I know, the correct writing of the name Goetzen is very controversial, but I think, the family von Goetzen will know it at the best. So, if you want to know the correct writing of the name, look at his tombestone in Hamburg or look on this youtube film ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tc8IpubKVU). Then I think you will remove your correction of my writing on the page Liemba. Greetings -- Ihnen ( talk) 15:20, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
Good catch on SS Mormacsun with the date. I was using the usually reliable shipbuildinghistory with a specific date, delivery "8-Jun-41" in a time and USMC # ordered sequence, that is also found in some other sources. Now after checking Lloyd's 1940-41 where the fact the ship is listed supports 1940 and the next two years with 1940 listed (note three other Mormac ships in the 1941-42 listing have changed years) also lends support to another glitch in several otherwise reliable sources. Several official histories mention Mormacsun in connection with the first shipments of aircraft to Australia and Java December 1941-January 1942. Specifically the ship is noted as carrying sixty-seven crated P-40s that were quite important in those early days. Several of the sources cite the ship as being 4,996 tons—a figure matching the Mormacsun already sold to Brazil. The ship carrying those P-40s had to have been the C3. Such fast prewar rush from June to war zone six months later is possible, but certainly a very new ship. The 1940 date pretty well nails the fact the ship involved was the still relatively new C3 and not the earlier 4,996 ton Mormacsun. Palmeira ( talk) 21:19, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi Benea,
To help me better understand Wikipedia concepts will you please let me know why you removed the link to the German article about the Philippine frigates subject to the cutting out operation off Santa Cruz? Is there a taboo about linking to pages in another language? I thought that page to be of significance, given that there seem to be very few references to this action.

Benea, would you mind doing a ship index for HMS Lily? It's not part of the Google books preview of Colledge, or I'd do it myself. Many thanks, Shem ( talk) 22:07, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi Benea.
I saw your contribution to the Tiger class cruiser Talk page. Entirely agree with you. However, I've posted some material on the Tiger class Talk page myself that should explain the tactical rationale for those ships. A topic that the anonymous editor seems to have no knowledge of. Perhaps it will help future editors to reconstruct that article. I don't feel willing to do that myself, esp since there is so much wrong with it that it would perhaps be better to scrap it entirely and start over on a clean sheet.

Hi Benea.
Last months, the article HMS Temeraire (1798) has been translated in french. During the nomination procedure for good article status (GA) on french project, few questions has come into attention. Do you have any informations about it ?

Dear LTIR, these are good questions, I'll do what I can to answer them, though I'm afraid I don't have many of my usual sources to hand.

Benea I put back my revisions, because only two of those ships named Peacock have articles written about them. Red link means there is no article, so I see no point in writing as if there is an article, and that is why I made those changes. If the pipe 6 does not mean sixth rate in that template, then please correct that part of my changes.

I am curious about your move of this article to MV Ithaca when the ship as constructed through at least the start of WW II was driven by a triple expansion steam engine. I know of a number of ships that were converted to diesel so it is quite possible this ship had such a conversion. There is no mention or citation in the article indicating that. Do you have such information? Palmeira ( talk) 23:11, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
Ben, can I ask you to sort out a technical error which I can't fathom. I was editing the article on the French frigate Boudeuse, and it now doesn't appear to function properly at the start. Your technical proficiency being much better than mine, can you correct whatever error I've made please? The data I have inserted are correct (I could cite my forthcoming book on French Warships in the Age of sail, 1786-1861, but that would be a little premature as it's not out until early next year), so please leave that in.

Thanks for uploading File:Heinrich Bleichrodt.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
{{
Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy.
