Article reassessed and graded as start class. -- dashiellx ( talk) 13:02, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

This page resided at Fort Dearborn since its creation on July 15, 2005. On January 4, 2009, it was moved to Fort Dearborn (Illinois) without discussion and the Fort Dearborn page was turned into a disambiguation page for this page and a non-existent Fort Dearborn (New Hampshire). Given that the other page does not exist and was not created at the time this move was made, it is clear that the Fort Dearborn in Chicago (which has more than twenty wikilinks to it) is of much greater notability. This page should reside at Fort Dearborn and, if the other entry is ever created, a hatlink should be added or [[Fort Dearborn {dismbiguation}]] should be created.

Support moving this article back to Fort Dearborn; the New Hampshire fort existed only 20 years, [1] never saw a battle, and today is far better known as Odiorne Point State Park (at present also a redlink). -- Una Smith ( talk) 04:40, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
Support revert. Per Una. -- Born2cycle ( talk) 18:16, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
I checked all the incoming mainspace links to Fort Dearborn; none require disambiguation. -- Una Smith ( talk) 05:28, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
The date of the death of Alexander Beaubien is incorrect. If one looks at the actual article announcing his death, it is dated March 25. The announcement was printed in the N.Y. Times issue of March 26. History1861 ( talk) 18:17, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
Some of us newer members are afraid to edit articles on topics like dates of birth or death because we could be wrong and branded vandals. Maybe next time you don't have to be so rude to someone only trying to help. Kostantino888Z ( talk) 21:37, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
Especially on the legend (officer's quarters is a clear example of conflict between the two). Does anyone know which is correct? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.80.71.163 ( talk) 12:31, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
