GA review of this version:
Pn = paragraph n • Sn = sentence n

GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

   • Lead, P2: Who is Daniel Morgan and why is he important? Some context is needed
   • British preparations, P1, last S: as in this case is ambiguous. Does it mean "while" or "because"?
   • Arnold's arrival, P2, S1 (minor point): Arnold is reported as outnumbered 1,200 to 600, but later (in Siege, P1) a ratio three to one is used. For internal consistency, it might make sense to say Arnold was outnumbered two to one here to parallel that later figure; In this case both the 1,200 figure and the 600 figure are both already reported in the article
   • Carleton's arrival…, P2, S4: "took care to make sure" is a clumsy phrase. Can this be simplified while retaining the meaning conveyed in the source?
   • Montgomery's attack, P2, S6: should the plural form of musket be used here. (If so, consider using the cannons plural to match)
   • Arnold's attack, P2, S1: The number killed is confusing. Is it "30 + 20" or "30 (including 20)"?
     • Much better. — Bellhalla (talk) 13:40, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
   • Siege, P1, S1: Who is Wooster? He's not mentioned or linked previously in the text.
   • Footnotes, Note 2: Consider using a comma thousands separator for the figures, especially since 1800 could be confused as with the year in this context.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

Another fine article. Just a few prose issues need resolving before it passes. — Bellhalla (talk) 22:33, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

I think I've covered your prose issues. (The description of Morgan I put in the body. He's primarily mentioned because he went on to become more notable as the war went on, and assumed a leadership role after Arnold's injury.) Magic♪piano 20:10, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

All looks good
