thread_title:  Still a stub? 

message: Mortier's force included the 100th Line Infantry, .  Digby Smith (Napoleon's Regiments) shows 3 killed, 4 mortally wounded  and 17 wounded (not mortally), including Colonel Retay.  Auntieruth55 (talk) 01:40, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  various bits and pieces not in the article 

message: :These citations are consistent with MOS.  The first mention of a source in a footnote has the full source; subsequent citations use a shortened version (name, page).  If more than one book from the same author is cited, a one or two word title is added: Author, Title, page #. If the same source is cited sequentially, the named ref template has been used.
:Rationale:  Re Wikipedia:Verifiability#Reliable_sources. To establish that a source, especially one used throughout an article, is both verifiable and reliable, it important to put the information on that source up front.  Consequently, the first entry includes all relevant material on citing the source.  This obviates the need for the reader to scroll to the bibliography to find the information, and then scroll back to the proper place in the page.

thread_title:  A note on citation style 

message: rather than "surrounded", i would prefer something like "French reconnaissance; meeting engagement between Russians and French; isolated French corps north of the Danube ambushed; after Ulm, before Austerlitz" it does need a tightening, summary Pohick2 (talk) 16:16, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I've added this in, but I'll need the full citation for the book, please.  Auntieruth55 (talk) 17:21, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  lead 

message: Sorry to nit-pick, but how could Kutuzov have held his council of war at Melk Abbey on the evening of 10 November?  The abbey is south of the Danube and about 35 km upstream from Krems, where Kutuzov had already led the Coalition forces across to the north bank of the river and then destroyed the bridge behind them.  The Russians were already skirmishing with Gazan's division.
Did Kutuzov really stay on the south bank, and ride upriver for his council?  Or perhaps the council was at the abbey in Krems?  Or perhaps the council was at Krems, but earlier?  (Not sure what the source for this, but the Digby Smith online article on Schmitt suggests he met Kutuzov at Krems on 6 November; was this the "council'?)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.205.251.247 (talk) 19:44, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

message: Is it fair to say that the French won this? The article makes it seem like the Coalition won, which is also what German Wikipedia says. Brutannica (talk) 02:21, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
