The tin buttons his troops wore on their uniforms allegedly fell to pieces in the cold. An invasion force of 600,000 returned as only 22,000 men. ... this sounds like the buttons' decomposition caused people to die - this is very vague. This sections needs references cited. -- Abdull 11:57, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
Today's first edit (02:43 26 Sep 2008) adds 18 lines copied too directly from the reference added (although not cited in-line in the section added). This could constitute a copyright violation and needs to be rewritten.
In fact some of the information is already in the article. The rest is interesting and can certainly be added, but it has to be done in an encyclopedic style - select the most important points which are not already in the article, paraphrase, rearrange. Also remove phrases such as "I believe", and explain where the photo is to be found. Dirac66 ( talk) 15:27, 26 September 2008 (UTC) Revised Dirac66 ( talk) 15:40, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
I have heard this story elsewhere, about the loss of fuel brought about by crumbling solder, but could find no mention of it in Apsley Cherry-Garrard's book. What is its provenance? Moletrouser ( talk) 21:59, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
The information contained in the stub article,
White tin, is easily found within the
Tin article. I therefore suggest that the stub article be merged into the Tin pest article (some of the information is already contained therein). The White tin stub article is redundant.
