thread_title: "Caution" notice (moved from article)

message: In every case where the author of this article has indicated "citation needed" he will search in vain, for the statement is incorrect: Johnson was never a General; the Rangers were formed from men in the British Indian Department; six companies did not exist in December of 1778; the Rangers never burned Wheeling; and the buildings which constituted the original Barracks in Niagara on the Lake were demolished to make way for the construction of Fort George in 1800. The present building dates to 1811 - check with Parks Canada.
I have deposited over a thousand transcripts relating to John Butler and his Rangers with the National Archives of Canada. I am the author of the site on the Rangers given the external link. I think I know what I'm talking about. I wish the author would correct these errors. -- William A. Smy
In addition the author should cite my publication of the Ranger nominal roll:-
Smy, William Arthur. An Annotated Nominal Roll of Butler's Rangers, 1777-1784, with Documentary Sources (St Catharines, 2004).

replies: text: "The author of this entry continues to repeat numerous errors. Sir John Johnson was not a General in 1777. He was a Colonel; the men who formed the first company were mainly from the Indian Department; the Rangers were not increased to 10 companies until 1781; the Rangers did not burn Wheeling; and the original Rangers barracks were torn down when Fort George was connstructed in 1800. The current building called Butler's Barracks and used by The Lincoln and Welland Regiment as a regimental museum dates from 1800."
Look, Mr. Smy, or whoever 69.157.* is, if you've got problems with the article, then either comment on it here on the Talk page, or correct the errors. There is no "author" to complain to.
