GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

  1. Is it well written?
    A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
    In the Background section, "From March 1781", it would be best if is a comma placed after "1781".

    B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
    Dates are to be un-linked, per here.
    Half-check. The date in the infobox needs to be un-linked. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 16:10, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fate of the mutineers?

[edit]

For a supposedly good article, this is missing an explanation of what actually happened to the mutineers, and who other than Congress reacted. Were their demands ever addressed? (If not, why didn't they just follow Congress to Princeton?) What did military authorities (Washington and commanders nearer Philadelphia) do? Magic♪piano 00:20, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Eleven years later, this issue is still unaddressed. Came here with the same questions after learning about it in school, but I couldn't find anything. I'm going to do some reading and see if I can figure it out. 70.176.192.205 (talk) 22:26, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I wondered the same thing. Did the soldiers ever get paid? I also wonder why they weren't paid in the first place. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Punstress (talk • contribs) 20:23, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
