Battle of Schellenberg[edit]

Self nomination. I would like to see if it meets the FA criteria. Any comments about this would be appreciated so any concerns raised with this article can be addressed in another, much larger article, which I have nearly completed. Thank you. Raymond Palmer 19:46, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support; all the issues raised in the military history peer review have been resolved. (Note also the military history A-Class review.) Kirill Lokshin 19:59, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support, a very nice article!!! -- Grafikm ^(AutoGRAF) 20:04, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment There are 50+ inline citations, but none at all in the "Cultural references" section, even though that section contains excerpts from text. -Fsotrain⁰⁹ 22:12, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, interesting point. The source is given explicitly in the text (Addison's poem The Campaign), so that's not a problem per se; but I suppose it wouldn't hurt to add a citation to some published version of the poem, to aid readers looking for it. Kirill Lokshin 23:02, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support Terrific article. Great job.UberCryxic 02:34, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I'm also a bit concerned about "Cultural references". It actually provides just one cultural reference, without indepth analysis and without inline citations.--Yannismarou 06:03, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
~~Comment~~ wonderful article I too find the cultural references a touch concerning and wonder as to whether it's even sufficiently relevant to the subject to warrant inclusions. The current version needs to be supported with a cite as its a commentary bordering on orginal research. The prose/layout of this section I found a little disconcerting on first read, please consider making the poems prose ditinguishable from its explaination. Can you drop a note on my talk page if you reconsider this section in any way because without this I would have supported. Gnangarra 13:06, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support changed to support, the modification to cultural improves that section. I too noticed that Count Jean d'Arco was a red link but thats not impacting on this article, suggest that you delink the name maybe put it on the list of requested articles. Gnangarra 23:21, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oooo I had a request that I forgot about. It's not going to impact my vote, but can you make a stub article on Count Jean d'Arco? It seems weird to have a redlink for one of the main commanders.UberCryxic 16:18, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Several people have commented that Jean d'Arco is only a red-link. I cannot find any details whatsoever on him. None of my books nor the Internet have any information - not even enough for a stub! Can anyone help?

In depth analysis Yannismarou? I hope your not expecting a literary critical appreciation of Joseph Addison poetry ; ) Finding other cultural references for this minor battle is proving all but impossible. Would it be best to delete the Cultural Ref section altogether?. Thanks all for the feedback Raymond Palmer 21:34, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mmmm ... I wouldn't say delete. This is not a major issue, but this section remains for me a bit problematic. In any case, this is not an important obstacle for FAC. And that's way I don't opppose, but I just express a concern.--Yannismarou 11:49, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment more a thought, why not rename the cultural references section to Heroic couplet reduced it to a subsection of Aftermath Gnangarra 02:27, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support - the photos seem a teensy bit too large, but that's your call. Dev920 (Tory?) 09:01, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support This seems to be a great article.Maxflight 01:58, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to User:Choess, who found a German article on d'Arco and translated it, our elusive friend is no longer a red-link. Raymond Palmer 00:13, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
