This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-class status:
I stumbled across this chap when trying to understand the Picton trial, and nearly produced an article myself; I will try to come back to this and make some improvements
One correction is that Fullarton didn't arrest Picton; Picton resigned and went home, and was then arrested by order of the Privy Council because of charges Fullarton had brought
Other points to note are that
a) he was a patron of Robert Burns and consequently gets a favourable mention in a Burns poem
b) the reason he had command in India was that he had raised his own regiment, and therefore was its colonel with apparently automatic seniority over all other colonels. The professional general in charge of troops in the Carnatic having not impressed he was superseded by the senior colonel present (our man) , who had absolutely no military experience but seems to have managed perfectly adequatelyRjccumbria (talk) 00:15, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I have made the DNB link direct to Wikisource (I'm unclear as to why it was to vol.10 anyway - the article on Fullarton was in vol. 20 of the original, so vol. VII when they reprinted with three volumes in one). The text of the DNB article can be freely edited in. Charles Matthews (talk) 12:06, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I have done expansion with the incorporation of the DNB content. Charles Matthews (talk) 09:55, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
