A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on October 26, 2012, October 26, 2018, and October 26, 2023. |
I noticed that the article is called Battle of Chateauguay when the offical name is Battle of the Chateauguay (see [1]) as it is reffering to the Chateauguay River and not the town. Second, the battle was located in between Ormstown and Howick in a hamlet called Alan's Corners, not in Chateauguay. I suggest that the name be changed to its offical name and that the location be changed to read to be near Howick or Ormstown as this would be more precise. Thanks.

Calling it Ormstown or Howick would more accurate but I think it is so well known under the name "Battle of (the)Chateauguay" that this would cause confusion and meet resistance. Flonto 01:03, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
Purdy's men spent a miserable night marching through cypress swamps...
Northern white cedar is fairly common to the area.
Cedar bog or cedar swamp would be more correct.
There are some inconsistencies as for the number of involved troops. According to Chateauguay museum`s site, there were around 3000 US troops. 2000 were attacking De Salaberry positions + 1000 mens residing on the opposite coast of the river (Purdy's group).
As for Canadians, there were around 1800 including militia reserves. I have changed numbers in the article appropriately.

I have issues with some of these edits. Firstly, they are obviously self-published. Nothing intrinsically wrong with that, but the edits wander too far from the point, contain too many flowery quotes to be encyclopaedic and essentially are unduly large compared with the main body of the article.
