This article links to the wrong 82nd Regiment article. Instead of linking to this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/82nd_Regiment_of_Foot_(1777), it links to this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/82nd_Regiment_of_Foot_(Prince_of_Wales%27s_Volunteers) which is a completely different regiment. ~Megan Swaine

Just for the records; this has been fixed and now links to the correct regiment. ...GELongstreet (talk) 23:09, 16 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Another point of view on Moore"

I've taken the following para, from the Moore in Ireland 1798 section, out of the article. The para lacks sources - and it turns out to be a quote from another article. There are a few things wrong with it anyway: see Talk:Battle of the Big Cross #"treat the locals as harshly as possible".

Another point of view on Moore is referenced - "Despite this, Moore issued orders for his troops to treat the locals as harshly as possible and to take any provisions they needed for three weeks. In May, British troops scoured West Cork searching for arms burning homes and generally terrorizing the common people. Moore himself wrote the moment a single redcoat appears, everyone flees. The official disarming of West Cork was completed by the 23rd of May. Moore and his troops had found 800 pikes and 3,400 firearms, and large numbers of suspected United Irishmen were arrested."
