renaming

[edit]

Why are you guys wanting to rename "Category:Naval Battles of the Spanish-American War" to "Category:Naval Battles of the Spanish-American War".

It is morning here, I do admit and I have just awaken but it looks to me like this page is being renamed to the name it already pocesses.

In my opinion, the category should be named "Naval engagements of the Spanish-American War" because not every combat action involving the U.S. or Spanish navies can be considered a naval battle. Examples would be the "Battle of Aquadores" or the "Battle of Fajardo".

Both are considered to be primarily land engagements, obviously, however U.S. warships were involved in the fighting which makes the battle a naval engagement aswell as a land battle.--Az81964444 (talk) 21:15, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
