Meaning of Eddy rebellion?

[edit]

Since Eddy Rebellion redirects here, it would be useful to explain the exact meaning of this term in the article. The term is used in the Dictionary of Canadian Biography entry on Jonathan Eddy (see External links), but not explained too clearly. Was it the whole incident, or one part such as the siege prior to the arrival of British reinforcements, or what exactly? Dirac66 (talk) 23:38, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think that "Eddy Rebellion" covers the entire episode (i.e. from Eddy's recruitment of people until his force was dissolved). Magic♪piano 00:35, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Title change

[edit]

The title change of this article from Battle of Fort Cumberland to Battle of Fort Cumberland (1776) wasn't discussed on this talkpage and, frankly, were there any other "Battles of Fort Cumberland" articles that need to be differentiated from this battle or *this* Fort Cumberland? Maybe, but not that I or Wikipedia seems aware of. Shearonink (talk) 20:11, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Again, there is Fort Beauséjour aka "Fort Cumberland". The connectivity between the different names for the same place is not clear. I assume that the editor/page-mover intends to perhaps set up some kind of disambiguation linkage or page so these events happening at one and the same place but in different times can be differentiated from one another?
