Reviewer: Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 18:36, 4 April 2010 (UTC) GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
- Is it reasonably well written?
- A. Prose quality:
- Accents are needed for Massena and Grenadier-a-Cheval. Link Legion d'honneur.
- The lead is very choppy, can you combine several of those very short paragraphs? You mention the Invasion of Russia in the lead, but nowhere in the text. Which unit size is correct? where he commanded the 2nd Dragoon Division.[1] in Marshal Joachim Murat's Cavalry Reserve. His brigade was a key to Soult's successful attack on the Russian center.. Give it the once-over again as I saw some odd phrasings and mistakes.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 14:40, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

- A. References to sources:
- Is it broad in its coverage?
- A. Major aspects:
- It's a bit too brief on his activities between 1799 and 1809. It's really not clear what he did to deserve the Grand Aigle, especially when he's mentioned as part of the Cavalry Reserve in several major battles.
- the cavalry reserved was deployed at both those battles. It was "reserve" in name only. He ended up in the Imperial Guard, part of the time honor guard, but that was after 1809. I've added more, but before 1809 there is very little, unless I research his individual units, and even then there is no guarantee he was with them.

- A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
- The provenance of the painting is uncertain as no artist is given. If you have another image of him, I'd suggest using it, but I'm not going to sweat it at this level as it likely to be out of copyright anyways.
- I am not planning to take this further than GA at this point, so the image shouldn't be an issue.
