# Talk:Siege of Yorktown

"half of his supply of gold Spanish coins."
Please change to "half of his supply of Spanish gold coins."

Since it has been awhile since the last assessment, I have had another look at the current version and noticed the following:

There are uncited statements in the article, including entire paragraphs.
The entire Articles of capitulation are quoted in the article, but I think a summarised version highlighting the most important aspects, as identified in secondary sources, would be more appropriate.
Should this article go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 02:22, 18 February 2025 (UTC)


### Siege of Yorktown
Removed the following from article page and substituted slightly slimmed down version with somewhat more modern phrasing. I will add a few more citations for the modified articles. Leaving this here for at least a short time for referenced (and possible, but unlikely restoration). I will almost certainly archive it in the near future.

Articles of Capitulation, Yorktown


### Article 10 controversy
George Washington refused to accept the Tenth Article of the Yorktown Articles of Capitulation, which granted immunity to provincials, and Cornwallis failed to make any effort to press the matter. "The outcry against the Tenth Article was vociferous and immediate, as Americans on both sides of the Atlantic proclaimed their sense of betrayal." Donner60 (talk) 22:59, 4 October 2025 (UTC)
