Check out the battleship page now. I have it pretty-well polished up until the World War II section, and that should be taken care of soon. I'd like to add a little more detail to the "decline" section as needed. Carajou 19:44, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
You're probably right about the "cruiser" entry as well. Years ago I had read a lot about USS Constitution, and one of her acts was to conduct searches for British ships while under the command of William Bainbridge near the Brazilian coast. Accompanying her I believe was USS Essex, and Essex was ordered to keep a certain British ship bottled up in Bahia while Constitution went elsewhere. From what I read, the back-and-forth sailing done by Essex was called "cruising", which gave rise to "cruiser" as applied to a ship. But as I've said, it's been a long while (27 years) since I read it, so I could be wrong. Carajou 01:20, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Page stats
Hi The Land. On your user page you say that Battleship was being read by 164,000 people a day. Where do you get that information? Is it just from the list of most popular pages, or it possible to get the daily read rate for more modest pages? --Geronimo20 (talk) 23:02, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pre-dreadnought battleship
I noticed someone added an image to this article today, and when I visited to check it out, the article seemed buried in images. I hadn't looked at it in a long time, but I knew it couldn't have passed FA with so much text sandwiched between images, so I counted them - and found that it had 18 images at FA, and now has 22. Ugh! Can you take a look? Maralia (talk) 23:50, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Battlecruiser rewrite
Nice work! Binksternet (talk) 20:02, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you! I was getting a bit frustrated with the state of it, not least because I encounter SO MANY misconceptions about battlecruisers on interent messageboards, and my irritation with i twas holding up me working on the things I really care about, like dreadnought... ;-) The Land (talk) 20:11, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Review request - List of Peruvian Navy ships
Please could you review List of Peruvian Navy ships and put suggestions for improvement & style changes in the talk page. The reason for requesting this is that I want to improve the page, for one thing taking the list back to the mid-19th century (the Peruvian navy was an important regional navy from the 1850s to 1881).
I have two reasons for wanting to attempt this. (a) it is a comparatively small task, so I have got time for it. (b) The recent mention of Loa and the Victoria on the Ironclad_warship, which are not mentioned in Conways, and which King's 1880 book said were armoured gun vessels.--Toddy1 (talk) 19:49, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
