[edit] Battle of Blenheim

This is my fifth article. Could you please give me a quick summation of where this article fails. Thanks. Raymond Palmer 00:50, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kirill Lokshin

An excellent article throughout. There are a few (minor) quibbles, though:

• The quotes given in the article aren't cited; direct quotes are one of the things that absolutely must be referenced. You might also consider using {{cquote}} for the more epigraph-like quotes, such as Churchill's early in the article.
• An issue with French ranks: is it "Marshal Villeroi" or "Marshall Villeroi"? I was under the impression that the former was the proper spelling.
• Some important terms mentioned (most notably the Lines of Stollhofen) should have at least stubs written for them (or should have a more detailed explanation within the article). As it is, their meaning is rather baffling to the casual reader.
• Military time probably shouldn't be used even in articles on modern warfare; here, it's terribly anachronistic.

Overall, though, this is an amazingly well-written article. Great work! Kirill Lokshin 01:21, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Kirill. The correct spelling is Marshal. I totally agree about the 'Lines of Stollhofen' and thought that might be a problem. Point taken about the military times. Thankyou so much Kirill. I'm so much happier now. Raymond Palmer 01:32, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
