Notes from WP:MILHIST B-class assessment

@Robinvp11: this is otherwise easily B-class, but here's a few things that I noted while reading:

I'm a bit hesitant with phrases like relatively strong position, disaster, devastating, euphoria and appeared as strong as ever. Consider indicating whether they are direct quotes from the authors you cite. If they are not direct quotes, I'd consider toning them down.
The phrase "caused panic in Paris" in the lede is not explicitly supported by the prose.
Similarly the lede phrase "Melo was instead forced to confront (emph. added) is not really supported by the prose, with the prose just saying he "Instead, Melo turned towards the North Rhineland, which had been controlled by French general Guébriant since defeating an Imperial army at Kempen in January."
Walloon links to a dab.

If you could fix those, I'll happily mark as B-class. -Ljleppan (talk) 08:16, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Robinvp11: Good article. I had never heard of this battle. Please note that the citation for Puysegur-Chastenet has no reference. Please add that reference. Thanks. Djmaschek (talk) 05:21, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
