Talk:Claude-Étienne Guyot

Removed sections sourced to doubtful websites
I've revert an edit of this article, because it introduced information sourced to websites which cannot be considered as being specialized or reputable in the field of Napoleonic history. In order to maintain an appropriate level of information quality, when expanding this article, please use online or offline sources that come from reputable historians.--Alexandru Demian (talk) 18:59, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
 * actually no information was added, the online sources merely confirmed the unreferenced verbiage in the article. you did delete a disambig hat to another man named Guyot though. Slowking4 (talk) 20:17, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I've reinserted the disambiguation link to Jules Guyot. I do not mean to seem abrupt about he respective websites; it's just several years' experience with websites about the Napoleonic Wars that led me to the conclusion that most websites about the topic are junk. So just want to keep high standards for the content of the articles I contribute to. Best, --Alexandru Demian (talk) 20:28, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
 * i agree with you in general. that napoleon series appears to better than most, with a real author; and it is a good shield against the tendency among some who disparage that which they can't click through to. (i've seen it a AfD.) nice article - needs expansion, i take it you wouldn't mind, if i cited marbot (have to find it on the shelf) Slowking4 (talk) 17:19, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I believe the Napoleon Series to be a good enough source, although I have to say it bothers me that he offers neither a bibliography for each article, nor inline citations, which makes it hard to assess the quality of his sources. Marbot is actually a primary source for many historians, as he has written extensively about the Napoleonic Wars and also is a skilled and captivating writer. I have seen, though, that specialist warn that he has a tendency of exaggerating and turning affairs into stories of heroism and chivalry, as was probably his nature.--Alexandru Demian (talk) 18:30, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
