[edit] Tarutino

No, I don't. Probably Tarle does. You may also ask Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Napoleonic Era task force. Cheers, Ghirla ^-трёп- 14:38, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hello Blacklake!

I am Kenmore. I like your descriptions of the battles of Tarutino, Klyastnitsy, and others. Fine work indeed.

The Russians certainly won many splendid victories in 1812 against the French. Napoleon was defeated by the Russians and forced to retreat. Not many people in the West are aware of the truth behind Napoleon's defeat: that the Russians defeated him in a war of attrition, then they defeated him in combat.

Send me a message anytime if you'd like to cooperate. I am American, and in the future I will need someone to interpret some Russian sources for me, such as Bogdanovich.

[edit] Can you upload this map of Krasnoi onto Wikipedia Commons?

I am unable to upload this map for some reason...can you do it for me? It shows the Russian ring of troops closing in on the defeated French on Nov. 17th...I want to make it part of my Krasnoi article.

[edit] Sergei Petrovich Trubetskoy

I have deleted the article as you requested. In future, if you want to change the name of an article, just hit the "move" (between the "history" and "unwatch") and enter the new name of the article. Disclaimer:if you think the move may be controversial, discuss it first. Happy editing abakharev 23:34, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sergeev

I have reworded and cleaned the article. I do not believe it is a copyvio now, more like a stub abakharev 06:16, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
