New article that was moved to mainspace on 3 February 2021 is 9,794 characters and nominated on the same day. No copyvios detected and duplication detector[1][2] reveal no close paraphrasing issues (AGF books and foreign language refs which can't go through Dup detector). Article is well-sourced. Hook is 155 characters long (under 200 character max.) and is interesting. Ref 7 (verifying the hook) is a reliable source. QPQ done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 12:01, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
Apparent conflict
editWhen did Napoleon give the instruction to "sign nothing"? The lead section says this was after Montmirail, but another section says this was after Champaubert. Jose Corregidor (talk) 06:32, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
- Champaubert. I made a mistake in the lead, thanks for letting me know, now fixed - Dumelow (talk) 06:37, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
Most welcome. Jose Corregidor (talk) 13:24, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
