Talk:Great Fire of New York (1776)

Effect on battle
This article notes that the British made some efforts to fight the fire. Has anything been written about what effect this had on the ongoing battle with the Continental forces? We know Washington escaped, I can't help but wonder if this was a factor. If so, it would be a welcome addition to this article, which already has a section on the effect on British occupation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.73.140.230 (talk) 14:08, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

Coordinates
The previous coordinates in this article pointed into what was the water at the time. The tip of Manhattan has grown through landfill in the intervening years. Abductive (reasoning) 15:15, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

Missing Reference to Chester
Several citations mention "Chester" without giving any information but the page number. Could it be "hidden" somehow? Can someone provide the reference, or should these be flagged as "citation needed"? Humphrey Tribble (talk) 21:57, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
