Talk:James Rogers (British Army officer)

What is Atyndall's expertise?
Atyndall93 has reverted my additions of citations for James Rogers (soldier) before he has had time the read the sources or do any kind of research or study on the subject of the 4 brothers known as Rogers' Rangers and their exploits. I have over 30 years of knowledge studying the subject and have published 2 books on the family which are not mentioned. What is the extent of your expertise on the Rogers’ Rangers? Since you know so much! (Lookinhere (talk) 05:17, 25 March 2008 (UTC))

The Vermont negotiations did take place between James Rogers and Ethan Allen even though Ethan was not charged with treason the negotiations did happen and led to the forming of the State of Vermont. (Lookinhere (talk) 05:19, 25 March 2008 (UTC))


 * As explained on your talk page I did not revert because of bad sources but because you have incorrectly placed those sources into the article. I then refered you to CITE showing people how to use the tag. Also, I withdrew the csd on your user page as I put it there accidentally. See your talk page again. --Atyndall93 (talk 05:22, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * ? Why not fix the sources instead of removing them? References may have to be pretty to get an article to featured status, but they shouldn't be removed because they didn't follow a standard format...and the edits certainly shouldn't have been reverted as vandalism. --Onorem♠Dil 19:18, 25 March 2008 (UTC)


 * But read the references (noting that some are self-published), and note that most do not even mention James Rogers much less support the statements in the topic (disregard the link-labels, since they're not giving the right information). There's probably some useful material, but I'd start by discarding the existing references.  Tedickey (talk) 19:37, 25 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Thankyou Tedickey, I finally have a friend! :-D! (P.S. Lookinhere, I AM sorry for any misunderstandings that cause you to get angry.) --Atyndall93 (talk 22:44, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Help bug in page
all after Conspiritor shows up in edit but does not resolve to the page view(Lookinhere (talk) 01:16, 26 March 2008 (UTC))
 * I saw it and fixed it. One of the ref tags was missing a / on the closing ref Jons63 (talk) 01:17, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Birth and Death dates
I would check some of that material again. One reliable source, the Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online, uses the dates 8 November 1731(birth); 18 May 1795(death). This is a scholarly and accurate source and should be used as a cross check. Thanks! --Stormbay (talk) 15:34, 26 March 2008 (UTC)


 * that is Robert Rogers birth and deat date you have, Robert is James' younger brother, James was born in Ireland about 1726 see [](Lookinhere (talk) 10:03, 27 March 2008 (UTC))


 * Thank you! I was reading too fast (and inaccurately). My apologies! --Stormbay (talk) 15:27, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
