• Images properly licensed
• The article title reads strangely to me... "between 1809–1809" should either drop the "between" entirely or change to "between 1809 and 1909. I'd prefer the former as the between seems redundant

• Capitalize Allied in allied army and link it

  Slight rewording and added a link. The Talavera OOB article calls this formation the Anglo-Spanish Army, although if I am not completely mistaken the British divisions formed part of the Anglo-Portuguese Army. Oman, for example, refers to both. However, in his OOB and casualty section he lists the British as separate to the Spanish with troops detachments in Portugal and elsewhere; the Spanish force is referenced as the Army of Estremadura.EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 14:46, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

• repulsed several cavalry and infantry attacks suggest "several attacks by cavalry in infantry"

• You've got at least one reference that isn't used in the article. Purge them or move them to further reading.

  I double checked them all and could only find one reference, which I have removed.EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 14:46, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

• Nicely done.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 16:14, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

  Sorry for the delay in getting to this and also breaking the links by moving the page (thanks for the fix, Hog!). Thank you for your time, review, and comments. I have attempted to address all the issues you raised.EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 14:46, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
