SchroCat, by the Grace of God! I read three books on the "Mary Celeste"; all of the Authorities on the subject talks in the case of "Dei Gratia" about a British vessel. I talking about Charles Fay, Paul Begg and Brian Hicks (and it was also explicit mentioned at the salvage hearings in Gibraltar). At least mention this significant detail then; you own history and the Wiki readers that. This is confusing and inaccurate, especially pertaining to the own page of the "Dei Gratia". 85.144.166.19 (talk) 22:02, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Following the 1867 Constitution Act, the Canadian Confederation existed from that date. Although there was still some oversight from the UK government (the UK controlled Canada's foreign policy, for example), it doesn't mean that a ship built and launched in Canada in 1872 and flying under a Canadian flag and with a Canadian owner and crew should be described as "British". Canadian is the correct word to use in the MC article. - SchroCat (talk) 07:25, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Re: this. Now I get it that you're brassed off with the RfC, as are a whole bunch of other people. I'm not going to take any action on that because I'd like somebody to close the RfC with the inevitable "no consensus"; however, it pretty much makes it impossible for me to sanction any other editor on that thread that you might want me to, because all they've got to do is say "aha, but why didn't you sanction SchroCat for telling another editor to bugger off?" and I'd have to do it, if nothing else to be fair. Can't you just ignore it? Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 23:53, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
