Apparently a US Navy Captain in the early 1800s with no significant awards or decorations. Page has been unreferenced since 2009 and while there are a few sources I don't believe they amount to SIGCOV in multiple RS necessary to meet WP:GNG. Mztourist ( talk) 10:29, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
presented to Commodore Edward Preble, and through him to the officers, petty officers, seamen and marines attached to the squadron under his command[2] and presented
swords to each of the commissioned officers and Midshipmen who had distinguished themselves in the several attacks. [3] Ridgeley was a recipient of the medal in an indirect sense, but probably not directly enough for ANYBIO#1.However, if
Flag officers, general officers and their service equivalents (e.g., Air officers) are generally considered notable( common AfD outcomes, pointed out by Bibliopole5795), it is worth noting that he was explicitly described as
Flag Officer Charles G. Ridgeley. [1]I found a few other minor mentions in reliable sources (e.g. Small Boats and Daring Men: Maritime Raiding, Irregular Warfare, and the Early American Navy, Appendix M - Inventory of the Naval Records Collection of the Office of Naval Records and Library, Freedom's Mercenaries: Southern South America and A History of the United States Navy from 1775 to 1901) that describe parts of his career. The first source, for instance, describes his service (under the spelling "Ridgely") under Preble at the Second Battle of Tripoli Harbor (which led to the Congressional Gold Medal). They aren't substantial enough for WP:GNG though. — MarkH21 talk 08:37, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
