This article completely fails to inform the reader about the events of the Bengal War. 109.144.211.127 ( talk) 01:54, 17 May 2023 (UTC) reply

The content is pretty hard to write, as the accounts are quite messy (cf. the work by Thompson in the sources). There are disagreements with the terminology: was the Battle of Plassey actually a coup? Викидим ( talk) 06:16, 4 June 2024 (UTC) reply

I tried my best. Two last sentences in the "Hostilities" section still need work (leftovers from the previous text). Викидим ( talk) 06:22, 12 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Notes for myself, but everyone is invited to make the fixes:

• Weave the Battle of Plassey in. This requires a source that ties it into the war (easy, note that many sources will call it a "coup" or "conspiracy"). The "Dictionary of Battles" that I have used as a primary source unfortunately ties it into the Seven Years War (overlapping with Bengal), so something different is needed
• find a source explicitly stating the abovementioned overlap and providing relations between the Bengal and Seven Years wars.
