Talk:Big Runaway

A fact from Big Runaway appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 23 April 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that in the Big Runaway during the American Revolution in Pennsylvania in 1778, Rachel Silverthorn (pictured) rode to warn settlers on Muncy Creek of impending attack when no man would?

I reverted it back once due to vandalism. Can someone tell me how to report these people so the admininstrators can block them? ParallelPain 06:14, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

check in the "interaction" box (to the left) and click on "Help" and go to "Keeping Track of Changes" and open "Vandalism". That should get you started.Skopelos-Slim 08:11, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mass Evacuation[edit]

The first paragraph of this section contained a significant error. The massacre that followed the Battle of Wyoming was of Patriot militia and Continentals, not women and children. Meginness refers to a "massacre at Wyoming" but does not provide any details. Mintz does not claim a massacre of women and children, nor does Barr. The American defeat, however, did trigger a mass exodus from the Wyoming Valley.

A recent, reliable and fairly detailed source of information is Harry Schenawolf's "Battle of Wyoming – American Defeat or Massacre?" which can be found at https://www.revolutionarywarjournal.com/battle-of-wyoming-american-defeat-or-massacre/ Griffin's Sword (talk) 19:53, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
