(
)
  • ... that on this day in 1814 a tsar, a king and a prince met at Troyes to discuss their war against Napoleon? "The Treaty of Troyes (also referred to as a Council of War) was signed on 22 February 1814 by Austria, Rusia and Prussia. It determined the manny in which the Allies would conduct the war at that point." from Nafziger, George F. (2001). Historical Dictionary of the Napoleonic Era. Scarecrow Press. p. 280. ISBN 978-0-8108-6617-1. and "Tsar Alexander of Russia and King Frederick William III of Prussia wanted to engage the French army, but Swarzenberg persuaded them to agree to a further withdrawal" from Fremont-Barnes, Gregory (2006). The Encyclopedia of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars: A Political, Social, and Military History. ABC-CLIO. p. 1011. ISBN 978-1-85109-646-6. (Swarzenberg is Karl Philipp, Prince of Schwarzenberg, an Austrian general).

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: All is good, citations taken AGF. One minor point: I do not understand the phrase, "the outcome of the treaty was because." Does "outcome of the treaty" mean the final draft of the treaty which they signed, or does it mean the after-effect of the published treaty? Please could you make that bit a little clearer? (NB: I have made a few minor language-corrections in the text which will not affect the review). When that unclear phrase is sorted out, this nom should be good to go. It's an interesting article, and a good one for 20 Feb, thank you. Storye book (talk) 19:02, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

  • Thanks for the review Storye book. I agree with your changes to the article. I've fixed the strange wording you picked up, I meant to refer to the decision to withdraw - Dumelow (talk) 19:08, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
  • Thank you. Good to go, now. Storye book (talk) 19:20, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
  • @Dumelow: You've put this in for an anniversary special occasion on 20 February, but the date in the article and sources is 22 February (1814). Is the 20 February request an error, or is there another reason for it? Spokoyni (talk) 09:08, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
Crikey, well spotted Spokoyni. I made a typo in the nomination above, it should be 22 February - Dumelow (talk) 09:28, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
I thought that might be it, I've changed the date heading to 22 February, and taken the liberty of striking and putting in the right date in the nomination. Hopefully it should run fine now :) Spokoyni (talk) 09:45, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
