Removed paragraph

"The engagement took place during the 1814 campaign. After Napoleon had retreated from Russia and lost the Battle of Leipzig, the allied armies had invaded France. Napoleon won a number of victories (such as the battle of Reims), but had little chance of success, with just 70,000 men against half a million allied forces. The campaign ended with the allies taking Paris on 31 March and Napoleon's abdication on 6 April."

The above uncited paragraph was removed. It does not really discuss the Battle of Reims nor add any information to the article. Djmaschek (talk) 02:48, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Remove 2nd paragraph

In a letter to his brother Joseph on 14 March, Napoleon wrote: "Yesterday I arrived in Reims, which had been occupied by General St. Priest with three Russian divisions and a new Prussian division. I captured the city, taking twenty guns, plenty of baggage, and 5,000 prisoners. General St. Priest has been mortally wounded".

Unlike the first paragraph, the second paragraph (see above) is excellent. However, it's uncited so I'm going to remove it. If someone can find the source (I can't) please put it back. Thanks. Djmaschek (talk) 03:19, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
