Apparent hoax -- Admiral Thomas Pringle's details don't match the article. http://www.artfact.com/auction-lot/daniel-gardner-c.1750-1805-1-c-xtjk83171j SarekOfVulcan (talk) 22:08, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

  • The article as it currently stands is untenable; apart from his involvment in theBattle of Vancour, nothing here stands up to scrutiny. However, the subject would be notable and this article might be saved if completely rewritten, whether by an individual or by dint of squadron or lords a leaping. Pringle was created a Baronet in 1766[http://books.google.ie/books?id=-jETBAymqn0C&pg=PA228&lpg=PA228&dq=Thomas+Pringle+Vice-Admiral+of+the+Red+Baronet&source=bl&ots=1sfcW8zhES&sig=recNJIG4iiYvVdAxzeqL7cTaGAM&hl=en&ei=6fe6SYzgB4S2jAfc-eSnCA&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=1&ct=result], so someone from Wikipedia:WikiProject Peerage and Baronetage might be able to expand the article. Really, he does seem to have had note-worthy career. (Incidentally, he gave his name to Pringle Bay in South Africa.) FlowerpotmaN·(t) 00:28, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
