Please, make improvements to this page rather than the other page I accidentally made which duplicates this one. The duplicate page and this one will merge.

This is the page on which I'm making grammar improvements.

I expect the word "The" will be removed from the title since it probably shouldn't be there. I don't know how to take it out myself.

Apparently, when alphabetizing pages in the metadata form it is difficult to know which letter to file "Battle of Waterloo" under. I expect more experienced writers and editors will provide guidance and I have not thought about the issue long enough to have an opinion. I'm sure any decision by others on that matter will be fine by me. Gary Leonard Cameron 00:05, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

I realize I may need to cite the witnesses and commentators who mentioned Napoleon's ill-health that day as a factor. I have several scholarly books I can use for that.

I also realize I have not consulted any style manual. I expect the style, grammar, and punctuation need improvement. I decided to knock this out quickly and learn as I go.

I also realize the article needs a larger plan to refine it and expand it such as an outline.

I have not learned how to make subheadings yet. I have also not learned how to make words turn blue for links. I decided these things weren't essential skills for a very rough first draft.

The article certainly needs improvement but I'm not aware of any serious errors. Please correct me if I am wrong. Gary Leonard Cameron 21:43, 28 April 2012 (UTC) Category: False Start Move
