message: Confession time - it was me who put the 'citations' template at the head of the article some time ago, fully intending to do some work in that area myself - however, I'd like to pay tribute to some fine work done by others, who have beaten me to it. I'd propose to take off the citations template now but will wait for a period in case anyone thinks it should remain on a bit longer.Scoop100 (talk) 22:18, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: The final paragraph of the "Aftermath" section appears to me to be an unreferenced personal analysis, if it remains in its current state, I am prepared to remove it in its entirety in the near future. regards Deconstructhis (talk) 13:36, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

message: I think this is important to include. The Americans were not invading Canada since it didn't yet exist. They were invading a British Colony called Upper Canada at that point.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bemcfarland (talk • contribs) 17:24, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

message: Elting mentions the statement but provides no source. The parenthetical note says Scott is the only source (although that piece of information itself is unsourced). It seems unlikely, to me, that Scott could have heard anything Riall said since the Americans were advancing through artillery fire, but my opinion doesn’t count. 
Nevertheless, the American commander can’t be considered a reliable source for a complimentary statement about his troops. It isn’t mentioned in the article Winfield Scott. Therefore I have been bold and deleted this nugget of apocrypha. Humphrey Tribble (talk) 07:10, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

message: The article says "Brown's army...easily surrounded and captured Fort Erie." Missing, is any information about how they got there. Since it is said that attacking via the lakes wasn't feasible, there ought to be a phrase saying whether they forded the river, came across in small boats, or perhaps used balloons. Remember, this is the Niagara River, not some creek. Humphrey Tribble (talk) 04:17, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
