Removed Uncited Material

[edit]

Postscript

[edit]
  • An inaptly named Lieutenant Gentle Vickers of the 3rd battalion of the 95th Regiment was severely wounded in this action. He survived to take part with two companies of the 3/95 and Colborne's 52nd Regiment in the famous assault on the flanks of the advancing Imperial Guard that triggered the final rout at Waterloo.

The previous paragraph was removed because (a) It was not cited, (b) It sounds like a family history, (c) Vickers had no effect on the outcome of the battle unlike the major commanders and (d) Vickers did not write about the battle in his memoirs (e.g. Rifleman Harris).

Pov question

[edit]

"Wellington determined to create a bridgehead across the Bidassoa River. If successful, his army would be the first Allied army to establish itself on French soil"

Is listed as citation needed, the second sentence is that a POV to me when read separately it simple states a fact comparing the status of the campaign in the Rhine theatre with this theatre,

Could the paragraph be rewritten to assuage these concerns and contain the same information? LeChatiliers Pupper (talk) 00:32, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
