@TheMedian, 187.15.52.55, and 213.205.198.34: Now that you've made your disagreement known, it's necessary to discuss it on the talk page rather than continue with the revert/revert business. Given the battle was marked as inconclusive, worrying about which side gets to consider it a victory seems petty. What are your arguments?  —jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 22:34, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's entirely possible that sources written by interested parties may have conflicting opinions about who gained the most. That should be represented in the article rather than giving only one side's view.  —jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 06:46, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I will join in here - the new source doesn't explain why, whilst the previous (unexplained deleted) sources in the article does. So perhaps we can have a few quotes of Caastex to show this? Shire Lord (talk) 12:55, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Wrong, wrong and wrong. I didn't deleted anything, the sources were written on the article and don't said anything about a supposed british strategic victory and to quote Claastex (my translation): "This battle wasn't determinant. But it quite served the French. The next day, the French squadron sailed for Cuddalore." — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheMedian (talkcontribs) 14:04, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
