GA Review
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.''

I am commencing the review. I read The Road to Ticonderoga some time ago but recall little of this so will be looking at the topic with a fresh eye. Colonel Warden (talk) 17:58, 13 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I have made a first pass and find the article to be quite well-written. There seem to be two small grammatical errors in the lead though - move rather than moved and afterward rather than afterwards.  The latter might read better as thereafter.

I sense a slight pro-French slant to the article, e.g. in the issue of the fort's name, but, as I am British myself, I shall AGF and attribute this to my own POV.

I shall now do some fact-checking. More anon. Colonel Warden (talk) 19:59, 13 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I personally am indifferent to the name; this "battle" does represent the final surrender of the fort to the British, and it took a while to sink in that the British always called it Ticonderoga. I used Carillon in this article because the French were the occupants of the fort.  As far as other pro-French slant, I think the French actions were more interesting than those of the British, but I didn't think I had given them undue weight.


 * I'll fix the grammar in the lead.  Magic ♪piano 22:00, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
