  • New article that was moved to mainspace on 3 February 2021 is 9,794 characters and nominated on the same day. No copyvios detected and duplication detector[1][2] reveal no close paraphrasing issues (AGF books and foreign language refs which can't go through Dup detector). Article is well-sourced. Hook is 155 characters long (under 200 character max.) and is interesting. Ref 7 (verifying the hook) is a reliable source. QPQ done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 12:01, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Apparent conflict

[edit]

When did Napoleon give the instruction to "sign nothing"? The lead section says this was after Montmirail, but another section says this was after Champaubert. Jose Corregidor (talk) 06:32, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Champaubert. I made a mistake in the lead, thanks for letting me know, now fixed - Dumelow (talk) 06:37, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Most welcome. Jose Corregidor (talk) 13:24, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
