So many images

[edit]

I'm shortly to add some more images of this battle that are already on the server; I've also found this, which seems to be a black and white image of an oil painting by van de Velde the elder based on his sketch which we already have. Any opinions on whether five images of this battle is too many? (Could they be put in a "gallery" in the article?) –Roscelese (talkcontribs) 18:36, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article being very short, I would suggest a gallery. Regards, Acad Ronin (talk) 16:38, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Golden Rose

[edit]

My source for the mention of the Golden Rose is the museum website. I'm suspicious because it says the ship was captured, when we know from other historical documents that Wheler fought a ship called the Golden Rose several months later after taking over the Kingfisher! (The site also mentions the White Horse, which J. Kempthorne fought in 1669, but didn't capture or sink, so it's different, the ship could still be around.) I'm slightly reluctant to keep it. Opinions? –Roscelese (talkcontribs) 18:44, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
