In order to second the nomination of this to Brilliant Prose, i would like to see some brilliants removed :) I think "Marlborogh' brilliant command" and similar statements are a bit POV... Otherwise its a great article! Muriel Victoria 10:56, 2 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- Yes, I see. I really was running out of steam by that heading, and couldn't really think of a different, catchy heading. If you point out any other POV phrases, I'd be glad to edit them. ugen64 02:51, Dec 11, 2003 (UTC)
Copying the following from the Wikipedia:Brilliant prose candidates page:
It's a very good article, but I would change one thing: you need a stronger introductory paragraph. Remember the journalistic style of writing - make that first paragraph a topic 'graf that gives the reader the who-what-when-where-why-how, boom boom boom. From a strong beginning, the rest of the article should flow naturally. Scooter 23:43, 6 Jan 2004 (UTC)
I'll add that aside from that, I'd second the nomination. - Scooter 08:12, 11 Jan 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Changes
The reason behind Duke of Burgundy's apointment are not unknown it was because he was the King's grandson he got his apointment. The court of Versailes was based around family favour.
I also think that it was Vendome who wished to attack but Burgundy didn't (the article has it the other way round). I'll check this out and if necessary edit the article.
[edit] strange sentence
As Argyll's regiments approached, they lengthened the Allied line; however, this was not quick enough to prevent the French from threatening.
- From threatening what? to eat all beef before the oppsing party could reach it? TeunSpaans 20:16, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
