Talk:Thomas Gage

message: Aside from additional inline citations, this article now has nothing on Gage's early life, which was in previous iterations. The family had lived at Firle Place in Sussex for many years, and the piece needs to have at least a bit on Gage's background, aside from his military exploits. I will try to restore it when I have a moment. Regards,MarmadukePercy (talk) 23:00, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Copyright problem 

message: Is the section on Pontiac's rebellion necessary here? Gage, who went from Montreal to New York, is barely mentioned in a section about events in Michigan and the Great Lakes. I think the whole section - although it has a source - is really not about Gage and should be taken out.Polkadreamer (talk) 18:48, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Removing this section (as you did) leaves the impression he played no role whatsoever in Pontiac's Rebellion.  Since he was CinCNA during it, and ordered troop movements (as documented in what you removed), this is clearly false.  Perhaps you could research more substantive contributions he made in dealing with the uprising. Magic♪piano 19:21, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

text: Jeffery Amherst was also "six hundred miles away" and was also probably not personally involved (to my knowledge, which is admittedly weak on this detail).  His policies may have played a role in the start of the rebellion (along with the notorious smallpox controversy), but it was on Gage's watch that the rebellion was brought to an end.  If it deserves mention in Amherst's article because of his policies, it deserves mention here because of Gage's.  As I said, if you think the coverage weak, feel free to improve it.

thread_title:  Pontiac's rebellion 

message: Ive had to revert back in the 'citation needed' tag for the text in bold several times. The statement in question is as follows:
:"After the Pyrrhic victory in the June Battle of Bunker Hill he was replaced by General William Howe in October 1775, and returned to Great Britain."
This is a comparison between the Battle of Bunker Hill and the Pyrrhic Wars. It is uncited. The stated comparison from the Lede exists nowhere else in the article. For these reasons, they cannot be compared, as they are OR. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 02:36, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I will cite this.  However, I will also point out that, in the time that it took you to add the tag and complain about it being reverted, you could have researched and cited it yourself. It's not like sources are in short supply.Magic♪piano 03:08, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I just inserted one of the many cites available. Calidum ¤ 06:15, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Likewise, in the time it took you to revert this several times, your time could have been better spent finding the requested source. It wasn't as if I was asking you to determine if any odd perfect numbers exist or anything. If I had the time, I'd have done it. As it was, I tagged it so peeps with time could. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 16:25, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
