Talk:Battle of Waterloo

Please, make improvements to this page.Gary Leonard Cameron 12:53, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

Apparently, when alphabetizing pages in the metadata form it is difficult to know which letter to file "Battle of Waterloo" under. I expect more experienced writers and editors will provide guidance and I have not thought about the issue long enough to have an opinion. I'm sure any decision by others on that matter will be fine by me. Gary Leonard Cameron 00:05, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

I realize I may need to cite the witnesses and commentators who mentioned Napoleon's ill-health that day as a factor. I have several scholarly books I can use for that.

I also realize I have not consulted any style manual. I expect the style, grammar, and punctuation need improvement. I decided to knock this out quickly and learn as I go.

I also realize the article needs a larger plan to refine it and expand it such as an outline.

I have not learned how to make subheadings yet. I have also not learned how to make words turn blue for links. I decided these things weren't essential skills for a very rough first draft.

The article certainly needs improvement but I'm not aware of any serious errors. Please correct me if I am wrong. Gary Leonard Cameron 21:43, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

I have moved The Battle of Waterloo to this location as requested by the author and discussed on the forum. D. Matt Innis 04:23, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for fixing this Matt. I very much appreciate your help. Gary Leonard Cameron 12:53, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

No problem, Gary. That's what I do! By the way, for future reference, try not to delete anything from a talk page. It can make things confusing for people that show up later. If we use the colons for indentation, the proper headings, and time stamp our comments, people can tell what is no longer necessary. When all is said and done, we should be able to follow the comments from the first idea to the finished product. D. Matt Innis 17:11, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
