Talk:Chevalier de Folard

B class review
Please first address the following items. Then ping me and I will assess as B class. Djmaschek (talk) 22:05, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
 * A note says there are "cite journal" errors. Please investigate and fix.
 * There is an uncited list of Folard's publications. Please cite. If they are all listed under one source, you could insert this line. "Folard authored the following books.[citation]"
 * The French-language caption is not helpful to most English readers. Please translate. Here is the Google version which sounds as good as any: "Cannon that fires while marching at the head of a line, according to the Swedish method."


 * I cannot figure out what is the cite journal error. My only guess is that there is no "access-date" parameter when the "url" parameter is listed. Djmaschek (talk) 22:30, 18 April 2022 (UTC)


 * I cannot for the life of me work out what the journal errors are (tried adding access dates);


 * Rewrote caption on illustration;


 * Added Source for works. Thanks Robinvp11 (talk) 08:49, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
 * B class. We will let the journal error slide. I edited the publication citation. Djmaschek (talk) 04:04, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

Jean Charles, Chevalier de Folard, commonly referred to as the Chevalier de Folard

 * French version: Jean-Charles ou Charles de Folard, dit le Chevalier de Folard. It's something different.Xx236 (talk) 12:30, 22 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Don't mind what he's called but all the Sources I've used (French and English) refer to him as Chevalier de Folard (not just in the title), or de Folard.Robinvp11 (talk) 17:29, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I am sorry, I should have written "Smith, commonly referred as the Smith". BTW - why don't you correct the page according to your above statement?Xx236 (talk) 06:26, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

Suggested edits
In the second paragraph on the War of the Spanish Succession, I'm not sure where the source (Coynart) got his information, but as I recall from Folard's own acount of the Battle of Cassano he was only wounded in the arm (had a finger shot away), not the stomach. This needs to be checked.

In a question of phrasing further along (the first para of Military Theories), Frederick the Great did not find his work "diamonds in a dung heap" but rather parts of his work: "Il avoit enfoui des diamans au milieu du fumier..." GianniBGood (talk) 10:07, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
