Portal:American Revolutionary War

 * – (View MfD) &#8203;

Abandoned portal. This portal was created March 2008 by an editor who now edits sporadically, most recently in October 2022. Most of the articles were partially copied in 2012. Some were added in 2016. No subsequent article maintenance. 16 biographies, 20 events, and 7 units are 43 articles. For several years, portal views have been less than 1% of views of the main article American Revolutionary War, and the portal is providing non-current versions of the articles.

While the battles were fought 245 years ago, the historiography of this conflict is continuing to evolve, so a reader who is interested in an overview of the subject would do better to read the current articles rather than old snapshots. The current content can be viewed from the lead article by means of links and categories, so that a portal is not necessary. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:31, 25 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Delete This portal is plagued by an utter lack of maintenance. For example, Portal:American Revolutionary War/Selected event/4 doesn't link to the main article. It's been that way since 2016. Schierbecker (talk) 00:39, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
