I believe the title should use a endash instead of a hyphen. MOS states "When naming an article, do not use a hyphen (-) as a substitute for an en dash that properly belongs in the title". [1] – Gilliam ( talk) 06:03, 30 May 2016 (UTC) reply

I'm not smart enought to tell you what, exactly, but trust me, there are a couple of things wrong with this sentence : " His accusations resulted in a political and social controversy that was widely covered in the press, with several publications from officers present at the battle, and whose prominence lasted more than 30 years." Interesting article, thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gimelgort ( talk • contribs) 06:32, 30 May 2016 (UTC) reply
