La Grande Armée
Submitting pre-review A-Class article for consideration; no opinion on its quality. Kirill Lokshin 16:47, 22 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment It appears to be well written, certainly covers the topic in great detail, and I have no real problems with the format. However, the citing is sparse, which I find problematic. Carom 18:45, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Support with comment I am impressed by the sheer quantity of information presented on the Grande Armée. A truly marvelous job of research and the sectioning was also much enjoyable. Yet there where a few instances that could use some last minute polish: the render of french cannons as the image of the grand armée is disapointing. The Général de Division is said to have been the commander of a Division and at the same time possibly in charge of a corps? For the later's explinative sentence it could be made a little clearer.  "nicknamed Picadors of the Hell or "Los Diablos Polacos" (The Polish Devils) by the Spanish" could the former be veryfied or fixed, of the hell is a rather strange adjective and I am not at all familiar with Picadors.   Why are the infantry paragraph built diffrently than the cavalry paragraphs (this I can normalise)?   It is by far, though, a long read and could benifit from seperate articles, when detailing the Army and its history, possibly for the tactics as well.--Dryzen 19:33, 22 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Support with comment Agree with Dryzen that some sentences need polish. It is also lacking in citations, for example - Were it not for the poor quality of French cavalry following the Russian campaign, these triumphs may have been decisive enough to permanently conclude the war there and then. I would like to see details like this cited if it goes for FAC. The picture in the info box is very poor. Great work overall though. Raymond Palmer 20:52, 22 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Support with confusion, not a comment. How was this article A-class before being reviewed?UberCryxic 03:59, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
 * All the articles tagged as A-Class before the review system was put into place are (slowly) going through it now. Kirill Lokshin 04:12, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
