Corrections

[edit]

I made some corrections including adding Battle of Savenay and other links and removing the Battle of Brest (1794) link (it was in Poland). Other needed fixes are listed below. Djmaschek (talk) 02:21, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Infobox: (Moselle ) has a trailing space; ( Bas-Rhin) has a leading space.
  • Introduction: Was Anhalt a French regiment? It's not clear because it looks German. "Cuirasiers" is misspelled and needs a link.
  • Name consistency: Adam Philippe Custine has his full name while the other personalities have their surnames only (Gouvion Saint-Cyr, Duhesme, Jourdan, Moreau).
  • Location: Article states he was with the Army of the Rhine at Savenay, a battle fought against the Vendée rebels. After being paroled, the troops captured at Mainz were sent to the Vendée and were unofficially known as the Army of Mayence (Mainz), not Army of the Rhine. The source may be the problem, but it's still wrong.
  • Saint-Cyr was not a Marshal in 1795.
  • Citations. Last two paragraphs lack citations. "Sherb" citation link is misspelled; the source says Scherb. Need a space between {fr icon} and Eugene.
