The great thing about wikipedia is our ability to write articles about otherwise obscure individuals who made a contribution to history. You made a great choice and this is a nice effort. Adding the military offices was an excellent idea. For a B-class article, I would like to see a little more content. (Others may disagree.) When I started writing articles, I wrote tersely. I later learned to provide as much material as possible. To beef up the article, you might want to add a couple of sentences of text (each) about the St. Malo and Belle Ile expeditions. It's OK if you haven't the slightest idea what Hamilton was up to during those events; he was there, so give the background. Also, I believe you could reasonably give much more detail about Freeman's Farm - 2 or 3 paragraphs at a minimum. This was a very important battle and Hamilton was slap in the middle of it as a major commander. Even if Burgoyne personally directed the brigade, the four regiments still reported to Hamilton. I'm sure you can find a lot of sources for that battle. Let me know if you decide to expand it and I will re-review it. Thanks. Djmaschek ( talk) 04:57, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
To whom it may concern,
Every tritary source I've seen on Hamilton has included these sources. Some, if not most, are already in the article. Some are not though and they might be helpful to an editor.
ALSO, sources state Hamilton was in an "expedition to the West Indies" around the 1790s while commanding the 15th Regiment. Does anyone know what that is or if there is a Wikipedia article on it or something? Thanks.

As he was neither born heir nor died as heir, I think we should drop "younger" here. Have I overlooked anything? -- Stfg ( talk) 20:55, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
The ISBN provided doesn't work. -- Stfg ( talk) 20:55, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
The section covering the Seven Years' War summarises the battles nicely but doesn't say much about Hamilton except that he took part. The second paragraph has this problem especially. Best would be if some sources can give more information. Otherwise, I think the section needs shortening. -- Stfg ( talk) 21:58, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
