About the edits

Hey all,

I actually did all of the editing, updating as I researched. I just forgot to log in. As it were, I erased a lot of what I added because it ended up becoming more about the Japanese ironclad variant of the Atakebune rather than the ship class itself, as well as a distinction between what constitutes "ironclad" and who's earlier than who. The incarnation of the article I'd encountered actually referenced a high schooler's report (which cited an outdated military history of Japan from the early 1960's) and made an inference that didn't follow from the report that the Japanese had fully ironclad ships first.

I removed the inference and then I justified my actions with sources and further notes (in addition to editing some of the style of the coding of the page, which was old and cumbersome). Then I realized that the entire article had become just become more about who had the idea for the ironclad first. So I erased everything that had to do with ironcladding and just left it about the ship class. Ecthelion83 22:25, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
