GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

Is it reasonably well written?
A. Prose quality: 
The writing is basically decent but not spectacular, and there are a few issues I outline below.
B. MoS compliance: 

Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
A. References to sources: 

B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary: 

C. No original research: 

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.
B. Focused: 

Is it neutral?
Fair representation without bias: 

Is it stable?
No edit wars, etc: 

Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales: 

B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions: 
His portrait caption could credit the painter...
Overall:
Pass or Fail:  Issues addressed.


### Prose issues
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)
