== About the capture of the Huascar ==
Sir, I do not intend to point out that the ship surrendered. I just said that the flag ceased to be hoisted. That is why, at the end of the text, gave the interpretation of each country.
I never wrote ''the crew surrendered'', I wrote ''the flag ceased to be raised'' to me sounds neutral enough in relation to the difference of the two countries.

I personally believe in the Peruvian version of the fall of the flag, by the intense gunfire, the first time. but the second time I have doubts, especially the fact that some crew members, on deck, waved white handkerchiefs and why no attempt was refused boarding? because, according to the inventory of September 30, 1879, there was enough weaponry that was not used, and Chileans found in the ship after capture. I've even come to think of a partial surrender; deck crew surrendered (some even jumped into the sea and were rescued by the Blanco) while inside the ship, another part of the crew, tried to sink it.

On the other hand, as I read in relation to the capture of Rimac, by Peruvian sources, this transport not lowered their flag, they (the crew) hoisted a white one, that means ship negotiate delivery, but in the end it's just a technicality.

:Sir, the articles in Misplaced Pages are not made to please both Peruvian or Chilean readers, but to reflect the facts as they are, with a neutral description, which implies the absence of biased points-of-view and/or sources. And that's all.

:About the second fall of the flag, this time there no hoist or mast when this can be raised again, and the ship was captured without any opposition because the remaining crew still able to do something more than just bleed-off (almost all the crew was injured sir) was busy trying to scuttle the ship, opening the main engine condensator, because the Huascar did not have seacocks. No officer surrender its weapons, all of them dropped their swords and guns to the sea, nobody jumped of the ship, that's a false statement and I don't remember that line in any Chilean report of the battle, again, the remaining crew was busy trying to scuttle the ship, and moving the wounded to the main deck; there also no ammunition for its weapons, because the magazines were flooded or burning.

] (]) 19:13, 25 September 2017 (UTC)


== ] ==
Hello Cloudaoc, I read your comment in the article and would like to express my point of view on the matter.
The sentence in question is not to determine whether we should post the "Peru/Bolivia point of view" or the "Chile point of view". These are things we know:
#Chilean historiography assumes that the Peru-Bolivia mutual defense pact is aimed against Chile.
#Peruvian/Bolivian historiography refutes the claim that the mutual defense pact was aimed against Chile.
I am not contesting either point of view. The point I am trying to uphold is that regardless of any POV, the historical record shows that Chile fought a defensive alliance of Peru and Bolivia. Hence, it's appropiate to include this in the introductory summary section. Meanwhile, the body of the article ("Background" and "Crisis" sections) are the appropiate places where the topic is further discussed. If you would like to take part in this discussion , it would be great if we stood on the same grounds. Thank you!--] | ] 22:54, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

As an editor concerned in this dispute, you are invited to participate in the mediation.

After reviewing the request page, the formal mediation policy, and the guide to formal mediation, please indicate in the "party agreement" section whether you agree to participate. Because requests must be responded to by the Mediation Committee within seven days, please respond to the request by 11 December 2016.
