Article name[edit]

It has been suggested in the FAC discussion that this article's name be changed. This expedition has no obvious, widely-used name, so WP:COMMONNAME does not seem to apply. Here are a few proposals; feel free to add more or discuss. Magic♪piano 17:43, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Benedict Arnold's expedition to Quebec (disambiguates Arnold)
Quebec expedition (1775) (differentiates from Quebec Expedition of 1711, more concise)
- I would support the first proposal, as this is essentially a sub-article of Benedict Arnold. Other sub-articles, such as Military career of Benedict Arnold, 1777–1779 follow this format. In addition, "Arnold" is fairly ambiguous. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs/editor review)}~ 21:33, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Per EDDY, I would also support the first suggestion. mgiganteus1 (talk) 00:28, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I also would like to see it moved to Benedict Arnold's expedition to Quebec. Mike Christie (talk) 01:04, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  Agree with, well, everyone else. Would support a move. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 15:45, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bowing to consensus, I have moved the article to Benedict Arnold's expedition to Quebec. Magic♪piano 13:44, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Illustrations[edit]

There are several nice public domain illustrations of the expedition here, if anyone wants to extract them sometime. See especially pages 365 & 367. —Kevin Myers 10:52, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, those are nice. How do you think that article's map (p. 357) compares to Martin's? I could probably make an SVG tracing of that... Magic♪piano 21:12, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It looks pretty good and should work. —Kevin Myers 00:10, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
