Additional evidence

- Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings), headings generally do not start with articles ('the', 'a(n)'). For example, if there was a section called ==The Biography==, it should be changed to ==Biography==.[?]

GA Sweeps Review: Pass
[edit]As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the requirements of the GA criteria. I'm specifically going over all of the "Conflicts, battles and military exercises" articles. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have edited the article history to reflect this review. Happy editing! --Nehrams2020 07:51, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
Removal of referenced material
[edit]Love how folks come in under guise of copy editing, with a high and mighty attitude and then remove relevant information from the article just because they don't like how it's written. Fix it, don't fucking remove it. Ridiculous, this is a wiki, people should act like it. Instead of acting like its absurd that someone spent a bunch of time researching and compiling an article and didn't spend the same amount of time fixing grammar, and word choice (which is an editorial decision, from what i can see where words were changed it was just to dumb it down for the idiots in the world) maybe you should appreciate that someone did this and then fix it without the high and mighty overtones in the edit summary. Or is that too hard for people raised by wolves and republicans? --208.82.225.232 (talk) 07:22, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
