[edit] Isaac Brock

This is a self-nomination. The article is about a person who is a national hero in Canada and a significant historical figure in the War of 1812. The article has been through a peer review which resulted in significant changes. I also believe it meets feature-article criteria, and will do my level best to resolve any actionable problems brought up. --Scimitar 16:55, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Support A fine read. My only quibble would be that the lead image should be within a {{Infobox Biography}} block, but that's not enough to stop my support. slambo 17:26, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)

Added. --Scimitar 18:31, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Support with the quibble that: "Despite his lack of secular education" suggests that he had had a religious education. This is not mentioned anywhere and seems unlikely. --Theo (Talk) 00:01, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the comments. I've changed the wording to "an extensive formal education" to avoid confusion. --Scimitar 19:42, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Support Liked it, small comment: a map or maybe a painting of a scene in the Battle of Detroit would enhance the section on it. Themanwithoutapast 23:11, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I acutally haven't been able to find a painting (who wants to paint a battle scene from a battle that wasn't really a battle, eh?), and I'm not sure about the veracity (or for that matter copyrights) of the maps I've found, or else I would include them. --Scimitar 13:18, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Support, great work, well written. Phoenix2 23:23, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Support. Thought I knew quite a bit about the man, found some interesting stuff that was new to me. Very well laid-out, as well. Radagast 02:35, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)
