Thank you very much for the assessment. Will incorporate suggestions for improvement. Appreciate the feedback. Sincerely, ColWilliam 22:18, 27 June 2007 (UTC), a "newbie" to Wikipedia, and a first article.
Appreciate the suggestion of including a portrait of William Stacy. Unfortunately, there is no available published painting (portrait) or drawing of William Stacy. Also, Dr. Lemonds, the author of the “Col. William Stacy” book, was unable to locate a drawing, portrait, or likeness when he wrote the book in 1993. In addition to searching for a published portrait, Dr. Lemonds interacted with descendants of William Stacy, but no portrait or likeness could be found. Regards,

Incorporated biography infobox using the default biography template, which seemed more appropriate than the military template. Regards,

This article makes extensive use of "Tory", thus giving it a pro-Revolutionary POV bias. Since "Tory" was a largely pejorative term (see Tory#American_Revolution), I'd recommend replacing it with the more neutral "Loyalist" (which also has a much better article of its own; see Loyalist (American Revolution)).
Good suggestion. Thank you. ColWilliam 21:34, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

This article has been nominated for Version 0.7 of the offline Wikipedia release but did not meet the standards for importance. It has been put on Wikipedia:Release_Version_Nominations/Held_nominations for further review. Please see that page for details.
Article is nice enough on quality, but not quite high enough on importance. Walkerma ( talk) 05:46, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
There is a discussion thread on the Joseph Brant talk page regarding the Brant-Stacy incident. If there are additional comments, please do not add comments here on the Stacy talk page; instead, for completeness, please add to the Joseph Brant talk page. Also, there is some limited description within the Cherry Valley massacre article. — ColWilliam ( talk) 17:00, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
I think that there might be an error because when I searched "William Stacy" on Google it shows a picture of a police officer and says he's an "American revolutionary", idk how this would be fixed tho because it doesn't seem to be a problem with the wiki but with Google — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.176.74.103 ( talk) 00:40, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
