Another fine article. Just a few prose issues need resolving before it passes. — Bellhalla (talk) 22:33, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS):
 * Lead, P2: Who is Daniel Morgan and why is he important? Some context is needed
 * British preparations, P1, last S: as in this case is ambiguous. Does it mean "while" or "because"?
 * Arnold's arrival, P2, S1 (minor point): Arnold is reported as outnumbered 1,200 to 600, but later (in Siege, P1) a ratio three to one is used. For internal consistency, it might make sense to say Arnold was outnumbered two to one here to parallel that later figure; In this case both the 1,200 figure and the 600 figure are both already reported in the article
 * Carleton's arrival…, P2, S4: "took care to make sure" is a clumsy phrase. Can this be simplified while retaining the meaning conveyed in the source?
 * Montgomery's attack, P2, S6: should the plural form of musket be used here. (If so, consider using the cannons plural to match)
 * Arnold's attack, P2, S1: The number killed is confusing. Is it "30 + 20" or "30 (including 20)"?
 * Much better. — Bellhalla (talk) 13:40, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Siege, P1, S1: Who is Wooster? He's not mentioned or linked previously in the text.
 * Footnotes, Note 2: Consider using a comma thousands separator for the figures, especially since 1800 could be confused as with the year in this context.
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars etc.:
 * 1) It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:

 * I think I've covered your prose issues. (The description of Morgan I put in the body.  He's primarily mentioned because he went on to become more notable as the war went on, and assumed a leadership role after Arnold's injury.)  Magic ♪piano 20:10, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
