Needed?

Does this article need to exist? Surely it belongs in the main George Washington article if anywhere. 86.139.146.148 (talk) 05:04, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is in the main article, in the form of a summary. This article is called a "daughter article" (see WP:SS). (If everything about George Washington were in a single article, it would be far, far too long for most readers.) -- John Broughton (♫♫) 13:40, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Who is telling the truth?

This article and the Military career of George Washington article say two completely different things. This article states that "Washington's contribution to victory in the American Revolution was not that of a great battlefield tactician; in fact, he lost more battles than he won..." whereas the other article states this as a myth and proves otherwise. I'm not an expert on Washington, so... which one is right?
