War of 1812
It's clear that Wenonah came to Wikipedia with the determination to push a particular point of view; namely that the US went to war in 1812 to annex Canada. He is not going to stop pursuing that objective. He managed to find a Canadian historian in George F. G. Stanley who shared his view. As Rjensen has said Stanley had a poor understanding of US politics at the time of the War of 1812. He gives a pro-British/Canadian view of the cause of the war. In fact he made the astonishing statement: "...that free trade and sailors' rights and the Indian excitements on the western frontier were but irritants, that the basic motives prompting the Madison administration's declaration of war in June 1812 were to satisfy national honour and to acquire control over Canada—in brief, pride and acquisitiveness." (page 32)

Every indication is that he, Wenonah, will just continue to periodically post the same comments. I cannot see him suddenly transforming into a reasonable, mature, nonpartisan person. Dwalrus (talk) 03:35, 27 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks much appreciated. -- PBS (talk) 06:42, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

What I find particularly interesting about the subject of who would control what territory in North America is that the focus is entirely or almost entirely on the US. The Canadians are seldom, if ever, subjected to a similar scrutiny of their motives. Once the original 13 colonies had won their independence it was inevitable that control of North America would be disputed.

Several years ago in the late 1990s I was listening to a Toronto radio station (CFRB) when they had a discussion with several people about a variety of subjects. They discussed cross border pollution and in particular pollution from electricity generating plants in the Ohio Valley that used coal for generation. One of the participants casually mentioned that it was ironic that this same Ohio Valley should be part of Canada. None of the other participants disagreed and one or two audibly agreed with him. Few people in the US know that the Canadians believed, and some still believe, that a significant part of the US should be part of Canada.

The Canadian historian Donald Creighton wrote in his book The Empire of the St. Lawrence how some Canadians viewed the war: "For them the war was not a war of defence, but of reconquest." (page 176) This refers to Canadian anger over the 1783 Treaty of Paris that gave the newly independent US territory west of the Appalachians to the Mississippi River and north to the Great Lakes.

If you want to read a really interesting view of the how much the Canadians wanted to change the border take a look at this from 1814:

Horseman's pick
I have reverted your edits at Talk:Horseman's pick. It is pretty obvious that there was no copyright violation on the talk page. If you feel there was a copyright violation in the article, please tag it there, not the talk page. Then, create a section on the talk back specifying what copyright is being violated (url of webpage, name of book, etc). Thanks, D O N D E groovily   Talk to me  21:40, 12 September 2011 (UTC)


 * I refer to this edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Horseman%27s_pick&direction=prev&oldid=445944384 You placed a copyright notice on the talk page, but I saw no evidence of a copyright problem. The copyright template deletes the page. D O N D E groovily   Talk to me  03:47, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

I found the exact page on the internet and looks to have been copied over to me. Perhaps you might want to take a look for yourself. I am simply uninterested in getting into an edit war over it and I did list the exact place that I found it. do as you will.Tirronan (talk) 03:56, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
 * OK, here's what happened. Due to a markup error, the url did not appear as part of the tag. Also, you placed the tag on the talk page, when the violation was on the article. I have placed a copyvio tag on the article, and made sure the url appears to other editors this time. Sorry about the confusion. D O N D E groovily   Talk to me  05:14, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Battle of Borodino
Sorry, I do not understand, which part I delete ? Please show me, if I did delete some, I will put that part again intact or I can give more explaination about that. I just only added some more information and more quote at that place. And there is some paragraph which do not have any quote. Михаил Александрович Шолохов (talk) 16:51, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I do not 100% agree with your opinion about the website, but I deleted as you requested. About my English writing, if I wrote wrong, please correct me, thank you. About the information that Kutuzov is inferior to Napoleon, I will leave it intact beacause you make me realize that there are very realiable sources about that fact, thank you very much. If I did delete some cited reliable sourced material, please show me and I will restore the material, thank you.
 * BUT, the information I add also have source, and it is not an idiotic source. The book was published by the Vietnamese Education Pulisher (Nha Xuat Ban Giao Duc) which is under the management of the Ministry of Education. So the book cannot be an idiotic source written by some brainless scholars, the prestige of the Ministry will be ruined if such terrible works are puiblished. And if you suspect that if this book is created for propaganda or not, I will say that the author also write some other books about other American, German, French,... celebrities, and these celebrities are praised equally.
