Talk:John Nicholson (East India Company officer)

Continued Plaigarism
Refrain from targeting specific groups with fabricated tales and information clearly not in the cited sources or it will be removed. Also, the lack of citations and sources for information pertaining to Nicholsons involvement in the anglo-sikh wars warrants for the information to be removed, especially since Nicholson is not known for many "gallant acts" with the siks, specifically the section about the Margalla Hills where sources clearly state he was injured on that site and there is now a monument there in current day Pakistan.

Nicholson's Birthdate
I believe General J. Nicholson's birthdate was 11 Dec 1822 rather than 1821.

"And then he dictated another message for Herbert Edwardes. "Tell him that, if at this moment a good fairy were to grant me a wish, my wish would be to have him here next to my mother."" Trotter, Lionel James (1900), The Life of John Nicholson: Soldier and Administrator, p. 346 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.3.68.211 (talk) 06:14, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

I have added and amended some refs/citations too, and refered to the earlier (1st) edition of 1897, which I have, and the page numbers therein; and am in the process of making further textual edits and changes and improvements. Khani100 (talk) 18:21, 5 April 2012 (UTC)Khani100

Dear All, hello! Ive tried to make a basic edit to somewhat improve this article and align the various sections and bind em together in a continuity. Am also taking the liberty, having added some refs/citations, of removing the template on top of the article. Thanks! Khani100 (talk) 20:45, 9 April 2012 (UTC)Khani100
