Sources & linking

I looked at this article within the context of un-orphaning it and realized it is quite barren. I am holding off on adding a sentence to the Gambia River article about this battle until further sources are added and the article is improved upon. I'll add some if I find them, but Im not an expert on "New World" history. Shibabao (talk) 12:58, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot find any other mentions of this online, and it seems to have been a minor skirmish rather than a battle. If no other information is available or forthcoming it may be better to merge the contents of this article (as one sentence) into another article - eg history of Gambia

Thank you for reminding me of this. I skimmed through two or three books about Gambian history and couldn't find any mentions of this skirmish there either. I'm in favor of merging this. Shibabao (talk) 09:32, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
