RfC: Is "The battle's pain" section relevant?

[edit]

The "The battle's pain" section on this page appears to be an unrelated narrative; it has little or no relation to the facts of the battle.

The section is essentially an personal essay, and, in my view, quite unencyclopedicἲὶῌ. I recommend it be deleted from the article - I'd do it myself right now, but wouldn't want to pre-empt the result of the RfC. Anaxial (talk) 18:18, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not so hesitant; it's gone. --Richard (talk) 05:29, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reason for move?

[edit]

This action is conventionally known by "Battle of Sullivan's Island" -- this name is what is used in history books. Can the move of this article to "Action of June 28, 1776" please be supported here by citations to relevant and reliable sources? Magic♪piano 02:44, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
