Talk:Battle of Maida

move the historical discussion off this page?

Why is this historical reevaluation of the column in this page? it makes only passing reference to the Battle of Maida. Perhaps it can be move to the heavy column page. -Gomm 01:52, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Actually, the reference isn't "passing" -- the whole section is about the Battle of Maida; I've made that more clear in case it wasn't. Softlavender (talk) 20:43, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Date of battle

It is stated in the opening paragrapah that the battle was 4 July, but down in the "Battle" section the date is 6 June. Please fix or explain. Softlavender (talk) 00:36, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Result

Once again, a group of Anglophilic editors have decided to edit war over the result of this battle in the infobox. Having done some work previously on this article I feel I should weigh in on this. No doubt this was a British tactical victory. However the idea of a British withdrawl seems contestable. Withdrawal seems to imply the British were made to retreat. As I've mentioned in the article, one can argue Stuart's withdrawl was completely planned as part of his expedition – he achieved his main goal of delaying the French from mounting an invasion of Sicily. Previously I put a French strategic victory into the result also since Stuart did fail to relieve the siege of Gaeta which meant the entire mainland fell into French hands. However, I can see how this can argued as not true since even by Maida, it can be aruged that Gaeta would inevitably fall. Still, I have decided to only include in my view the uncontestable result of "British tactical victory" in the infobox. The rest... well read the article and make up your own mind.
