- A. References to sources:
- Is it broad in its coverage?
- A. Major aspects:
- Coverage is a bit thin, but adequate. It would be nice to have quotes from his peers, superiors, or Napoleon concerning his performance, if these are available.
- I didn't find any, but if I do eventually, I'll add them. I added a bit more on his activities in Italy. The artillery guys are under covered; they tend not to do exciting charges and what not (like Murat), and some are colorful (like Bonaparte), but for the most part, not much.

- Overall:
- Pass or Fail: Issues addressed.
- Pass or Fail:
Prose issues
edit- consistency of spelling in place names (Vilnius vs. Vilna, Koenigsberg vs. Königsberg)
- more things should be linked: East Prussia, Moscow, and Grand Army, to name just those in the lead
- The names of several of his commanding officers are piped to last name; this is not useful for people unfamiliar with Napoleonic-era history. A brief indicator of who these people are and their relative importance would be appreciated.
These things should be pretty easy to take care of; I'll place the nomination on hold. Magic♪piano 02:16, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
- These should be addressed now. auntieruth (talk) 20:16, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
