[edit] Date

The box says the battle took place on July 11, but the article says August 15. Which is right? 172.200.83.19 02:21, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

The August date was correct. Thank you for pointing out the problem! --Kevin Myers | (complaint dept.) 14:57, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

This battle is more commonly known as The Battle of Fort Detroit. Historically, the Siege of Detroit usually refers to Pontiac's rebellion. I just wanted to point it out. As an expert on this particular battle, the headline (among a few other issues) is the most irritating.
