John Knox (British Army officer)

[edit]
  • ... that John Knox's journals provide one of the most complete accounts of the British Army's campaigns in North America from 1757 to 1760?

  • Comment Is it "most complete" or "one of the most complete"? The article and the hook say different things. ~ Riana 03:47, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
  • Snow's book says "most". He repeats this claim on page 268. My less definite phrasing is due to my own natural caution, I think. I have changed the hook to agree with the article; unless you think I should change the article to match the hook? Regards--Ykraps (talk) 08:22, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
  • I personally think the more cautious phrasing is better, barring any other sources that cite it definitely as the "most" complete. :) It still makes a catchy hook in its current form, I think. In all other matters, I think this one is good to go. ~ Riana 12:05, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
