Merging Articles

Battle of Arcis sur Aube should be merged with Battle of Arcis-sur-Aube, sources indicate that Arcis-sur-Aube (this article) is the correct name.--Bryson 20:24, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Results

Although I don't know much about this battle, I'm not so sure this should be classified a tactical French victory, considering Napoleon retreated. Guard Chasseur (talk) 09:06, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Remove cited passage

The following mistakenly cited sentence is removed. "On one occasion the Emperor, protected only by a single company of the Polish 1st Light Cavalry Regiment of the Imperial Guard barely avoided being taken prisoner." This passage is not at Chandler 1966, p.997, as cited. I own a copy of this book and I've checked. However, the howitzer shell incident is found in Chandler and it will be incorporated into the article instead. Djmaschek (talk) 23:13, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

Inconclusive

One user tried to change the result to Indecisive or Inconclusive, claiming that this information came from David G. Chandler's Campaigns of Napoleon. In fact, I checked this and Chandler made no such statement either there or in Dictionary of the Napoleonic Wars. Another editor (not me) reverted the edit so that result remains Coalition victory.
