- FWIW, I left the description of the battle to Battle of Salt River Canyon. --evrik (talk) 23:03, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
. Long enough, new enough, hook verified. evrik, I can see no daylight between the webmaster and his source, in such language as "The ricochets caught the victims huddled inside. Cries of wounded, and wails of frightened children showed the indirect fire was effective." You'd think that Du Shane would have the decency of putting such things in quotation marks, if indeed these are quotations; the irony of "effective" fire killing children seems completely lost on him.

@Evrik: you already donated this QPQ to Template:Did you know nominations/John Moutoussamy. A new QPQ is needed. Yoninah (talk) 21:29, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
