it is apparently attributed to him "We have met the enemy and they are ours" -- Oliver "Hazard" Perry Dwarf Kirlston today
:Yes, that's correct. It's covered already in the article. He wrote that phrase in his official report on the Battle of Lake Erie. Jinian 16:23, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)
What about "Don't Give Up the Ship!" Something about his motto and his flagship transfer during the Battle of Lake Erie should be included. DirectorStratton 15:12, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: No. He didn't say that. That was James Lawrence who later died and his crew did, in fact, give up the ship. The flagship transfer is covered in the article on the actual battle, but if you'd like to include some here as well, be bold. Jinian 01:33, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

message: There's no need to list all of the campaigns on the Great Lakes in the lede, but I'd add a sentence or so about the dispute with Eliot as that gets a fair amount of coverage in the main body.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:18, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

message: The first paragraph that says Sarah is a direct descendent of William Wallace may be wrong.
The link points to the Scottish leader of the 1200's but his page says nothing of any children.
Google also doesn't seem to make any mention of a relationship of Sarah and the famous Wallace.
The book citation does say otherwise though.
Should the William Wallace page be changed to mention kids?
Is there some other discrepancy?

replies: text: FWIW, all I know is what the source cited in the article says. WP:RS, not WP:truth.  7&6=thirteen (☎) 19:40, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

text: In addition to the sourcing question (which might suggest we should delete the word "direct"), does the William Wallace reference belong in the very first paragraph of the article? This isn't really a central part of his notability; I think it would be more appropriately moved to the "Family" section, as in the article about his brother Matthew C. Perry (where, I note, the assertion is that his mother was a "direct descendant of the uncle of Scottish patriot William Wallace").  --Arxiloxos (talk) 18:33, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Arxiloxos, I agree.  Do it.  It was an interesting bit (of trivia), and is hardly central to his notability. So just move it.  7&6=thirteen (☎) 18:36, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Done, and thanks. --Arxiloxos (talk) 23:54, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

message: The bibliography and reference sections need work. A bibliography is a list of books used as references -- it is not a grouping of inline citations which are supposed to be listed under 'References'.  Also, 'Cite book' should be used once per book, in the bibliography, not stuck in the body of the text, and then referred/linked to with cite-tags :<ref>Author-name, 19XX  The 'blockquote' was used incorrectly with the signature floating about outside the quote box area. Attempted to fix but was reverted only to see another error take its place. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 19:37, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
