This page appears to be a work in progress, and time and effort have obviously already been spent in working on the formatting in particularly. However, the page is far from complete and is in grave danger of being marked for deletion unless editors recognise this.

Could it be flagged in some way to show that work is progressing?Astral highway (talk) 16:31, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is this still a work in progress? In the Aftermath section this sentence needs to be fixed: "In May a flotilla containing 900 French regulars and militia." It seems like an incomplete thought...It looks like Canso was raided a second time? Whis is Pihillips? When was the town reinforced?GregRog (talk) 20:02, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Raid on Canso[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Raid on Canso's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "militaryheritage.com":

From 40th Regiment of Foot: Henderson, Robert. "His Majesty's 40th Regiment of Foot in North America 1717-1764". The Seven Years War Website. Retrieved 24 August 2013.
From Troupes de la marine: http://www.militaryheritage.com/c_franch.htm

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 11:39, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
