Why?

Why do you think you are so cute and funny? You're not. Also you do NOT own the SMS page on Wikipedia,so quit acting like you do. Even your user page is annoying and not cute,like you thought it would be.--99.177.248.92 (talk) 22:23, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Main page appearance: Battle of Barrosa

This is a note to let the main editors of Battle of Barrosa know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on March 5, 2012. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/March 5, 2012. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or his delegate Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:

The Battle of Barrosa (5 March 1811) was an unsuccessful French attack on a larger Anglo-Portuguese-Spanish force attempting to lift the siege of Cádiz, Spain during the Peninsular War. Cádiz had been invested by the French in early 1810, but in March of the following year a reduction in the besieging army gave its garrison of Anglo-Spanish troops an opportunity to lift the siege. A large Allied strike-force was shipped south from Cádiz to Tarifa, and moved to engage the siege lines from the rear. The French, under the command of Marshal Victor, were aware of the Allied movement and redeployed to prepare a trap. Victor placed one division on the road to Cádiz, blocking the Allied line of march, while his two remaining divisions fell on the single Anglo-Portuguese rearguard division under the command of Sir Thomas Graham. Following a fierce battle on two fronts, the British succeeded in routing the attacking French forces. A lack of support from the larger Spanish contingent prevented an absolute victory, and the French were able to regroup and reoccupy their siege lines. Graham's tactical victory proved to have little strategic effect on the continuing war, to the extent that Victor was able to claim the battle as a French victory since the siege remained in force until finally being lifted on 24 August 1812.

Precious

Peninsular War

Thank you for quality articles such as Battle of Albuera, Battle of Barrosa and Battle of the Gebora, for "gently improving pages" and on occasion going into a frenzy, for GA reviewing, for major rewrite, such as Short Message Service technical realisation (GSM), - you are an awesome Wikipedian!
