message: The text in this page contains many words and letters that should not be there. Is there something wrong with it?
:Not so much wrong with the article no, as the mental reject who got their "jollies" out of defacing the page. It is called vandalism, and it is popular among those of low intelligence, stunted maturity, or those who are bored and lack any sense of imagination. Fortunatly, the work of such genetic backwashes is easy fixed, and has been reversed.
It’s back again. I’m not sure how to fix it, as I’m seeing it on the main page description of the article in my app.  Beautyandterror (talk) 01:13, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

message: The battlebox lists the numbers of Carthaginian ships launched and lost as different than what the Favignan(sp.) island page does (i.e. 400 ships with 120 sunk). Which is right? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 63.150.229.189 (talk) 00:20, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The last sentence in the text quoted below seems to conflate the number and origin of recovered rams with the number and origin of recovered helmets. Without reading the sources I can not correct the problem.}}

replies: text:  Eleven rams have been found to-date, of which ten had been recovered as of 2014. Tusa & Royal (the source that provides the breakdown of their provenances) was published when only seven had been recovered, hence the disparity. Subsequently Jonathan Prag published a piece which you can read  here. Seven have Latin inscriptions, one has a Punic inscription, two have lost their inscriptions, and one was still at the bottom of the sea as of 2014. The rams probably merit their own article, which could go into more detail about them and the debates around them (the date and provenance of the first one to be discovered is problematic and some of the "Roman-built ships" seem to have been captured and put into use in the Carthaginian navy).

message: The article needs clarification in the following terms.  It currently says "eleven bronze warship rams have been found... Inscriptions allowed four of the rams to be identified as coming from Roman-built ships, one from a Carthaginian vessel, with the origins of the remaining two being unknown".  If five have their origins identified, then there are 11-5=4, that is four, unidentified, not two.  What is the truth of the matter?  Deipnosophista (talk) 21:01, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
