Talk:William Brown (admiral)

message: Should we try to get this article up to Featured Article status in time for next March's anniversary? I think it would be nice if we could get on the main page on March 3rd, but I may be a little close to the article and unable to see problems, so I'd appreciate comments from outside! The article appears to be a nice length, not excessively long or in too many sections, no problems with any of the pictures' copyright status, etc. -- Arwel (talk) 01:12, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Almirante Brown de Isidro Cassanova and Almirante Brown the San Justo are the same team. The club head-cuarters are in San Justo and the field is located in Isidro Casanova.--furgonero 02:41, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

message: This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force in an effort to ensure all listed Good articles continue to meet the Good article criteria. In reassessing the article, I have found that despite its high quality there are some issues that should be addressed. These are:
* MoS compliance: in-line citations should directly follow end-of-sentence punctuation (with no separating spaces), and the section heading After his death might be better as Legacy (or something similar?).
**Done. -- Arwel (talk) 19:22, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  GA Sweeps (on hold) 

message: Thank you for the work undertaken so far. However, following the expiry of the hold period, there are still some issues remaining to be addressed. I have therefore reluctantly delisted this article as a Good article. If improvements are made to bring the article up to standards, it may be nominated at WP:GAN. If you feel this decision has been made in error, you may seek remediation at WP:GAR. EyeSereneTALK 09:59, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Certain paragraphs of the article are in British English, while others are in American English. For the sake of consistency, the article should feature only one dialect, not two. I'd fix this myself, but since I'm not a native speaker of English, it'd be better if someone who is did this instead. --190.19.12.231 (talk) 13:58, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

message: I wish to insert into the "Last Years" section some information from John De Courcy-Irelands book on Brown, "The Admiral from Mayo".
Specifically his reference to Browns donations to poorhouses and his donation to Daniel O Connell in his Campaign to Repeal the Union of Britain and Ireland.
Thank you.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Justin5150 (talk • contribs) 14:14, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

message: In Battle of Juncal
The two squadrons were initially of roughly equal strength, but because...
But in this article (War With Brazil):
...and at the hard-fought Battle of Juncal (February 24, 1827), with seven ships and eight 1-gun launches he destroyed the entire opposing Brazilian squadron of seventeen ships and took its commander prisoner.
(Sounds as though he was at a disadvantage since the opposing forces are not enumerated as to type)

thread_title:  Inconsistencies? 

message: There seems to be a bit of misty eyed myth making here. Is there any evidence that his Uncle was a Franciscan priest? The Catholic Encyclopedia doesn't even claim he was Catholic at all. With a name like "William Brown" it is very likely that he was of very recent Protestant Planter background. - Rí Lughaid (talk) 04:25, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: We know that he contributed funds to Daniel O'Connell's Repeal Movement.  However we do need some references Lugnad (talk) 07:16, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

message: Someone when writing the wikibox accidentally left out one of the brackets.  This is a minor edit, and I would fix it myself, but I don't know how to edit the wikibox.  Could someone fix it and tell me how?  Or just tell me how and I can fix it  ComradeKublai (talk) 19:52, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
