Order of battle at the Glorious First of June edit

Ok, this is quite experimental as I have never nominated anything for FLC before and no orders of battle appear to have passed FLC (or even been nominated for all I know). This article is a companion to Glorious First of June and contains the names of ships and captains engaged during the actions preceeding the battle and the battle itself. Casualty figures are also included where possible. As discussed in the introduction, patchy record keeping at the time has resulted in holes in our present day knowledge which are represented as clearly as possible in the table. One thing I was not able to clearly determine from the criteria was whether it is an essential requirement for all red links to be blue for FLC. I am steadily and slowly turning as many as possible blue in a process which will continue for the next couple of months (and some articles may not be created, I am still collating information on these people to see if they pass notability. If they do not, then the red link will become black text). If the listed names must be blue or black for the list to pass then I will take on board any other comments made and withdraw the nomination until such time as I can resubmit it. Either way, thanks for reading.--Jackyd101 (talk) 13:16, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Looks interesting for a start, and by joves, we need new types of lists (episodes, discogs and certain sport lists have quickly dominated FLC because they get standardized easily)! My major concern is not with commanders, as I consider the ships are the ones who needs to be blue-linked, and at first glance I'm finding a definite imbalance and lack on the French half of the list. Otherwise, it looks fairly good (but I'm not engaging myself more than that: my current lack of a computer makes these hard to give suit).Circeus (talk) 18:26, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support I presume that someone has been on a french ship creation drive because it seems balanced to me. I think the list lloks good, is informative and tells readers all you need to know. I can't see any problems with this. (And I agree with Circeus that we need some new lists around here). Woody (talk) 23:49, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support very interesting and well-presented. Good work (and also agree it makes a change!). Bencherlite ^Talk 09:23, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support and well done on such a massive list. It would be great in future to get some articles going on some fo the red-linked captains, but that seems like a long-term task. Geraldk (talk) 16:52, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For the British, its a task well underway, I have created about 15 in the last three months and will get around to most of the rest in the next two. The French captains are much harder since many of their first names are not recorded, but maybe at some point some may be created. Thanks for your comments.--Jackyd101 (talk) 17:56, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support, unusual list, well-referenced, well-formatted, well-contextualized, good job. --Golbez (talk) 21:57, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
