Draft talk:Recapture of Fort Vaux

Primary sources and original research
Dear @AlbertoOhist73, welcome once again to Wikipedia! Thanks for your work on this article so far. It requires some significant clean-up to ensure it means the standards expected of Wikipedia, which may differ from standards of other-language Wikipedias. The issues are "tagged" at the top of the article for now.

The first of these is that the article is written like an essay or research project, rather than an encyclopaedic entry. You can get an idea for what an encyclopaedic entry looks like from other similar articles (e.g. Battle of Verdun). While any competent editor can improve the article's tone (which will likely mean removing or heavily amending sections), I wanted to draw your attention to the issues of original research and primary sources. Using your experience of this topic, if you can add secondary or tertiary sources to support the article, it will go a long way to alleviate the current issues in the article. I notice that Fort Vaux includes references we might incorporate here.

It is possible that some editors will suggest that the article be merged to Battle of Verdun. If we can demonstrate significant coverage of this engagement, it will be easier to justify a standalone article. IgnatiusofLondon (talk) 16:20, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
