This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-class status:
I noticed that the article is called Battle of Chateauguay when the offical name is Battle of the Chateauguay (see [1]) as it is reffering to the Chateauguay River and not the town. Second, the battle was located in between Ormstown and Howick in a hamlet called Alan's Corners, not in Chateauguay. I suggest that the name be changed to its offical name and that the location be changed to read to be near Howick or Ormstown as this would be more precise. Thanks.

Despite what the Parks Canada website states, this episode in the War of 1812 was, and still is, called: The Battle of Chateauguay, not The Battle of The Chateauguay. This may be due to the faulty translation, from French to English, of an article. The addition of this extra "The" must be relatively recent, as I haven't seen it before. Also, the place of the battle was Allan's Corners, and not between, or near, Ormstown and/or Howick, as is mentioned in Military history of Canada. I can cite references, to these facts, or I can take a photograph of the plaque, on the monument, the next time I'm in town, if you'd like. Thank you, --Edna H.21:35, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The French version of the name of the particular battle, "Bataille-de-la-Châteauguay", which translates into Battle of the Chateauguay. Also, i agree that it happenedend in Allan's Corners, there is no denying that, but as of yet there is no article on the hamlet, so i thought that it would be better to say it was near Ormstown/Howick, as Ormstown has an article and is better known then Allan's Corners. Allan's Corners is near/between Ormstown and Howick, as it is about 10 km from each. A picture of the sign would be a good addition to the article. See also, Quebec Heritage Thanks.

Calling it Ormstown or Howick would more accurate but I think it is so well known under the name "Battle of (the)Chateauguay" that this would cause confusion and meet resistance.

Purdy's men spent a miserable night marching through cypress swamps...
Northern white cedar is fairly common to the area.
Cedar bog or cedar swamp would be more correct.
There are some inconsistencies as for the number of involved troops.
According to Chateauguay museum`s site, there were around 3000 US troops.
2000 were attacking De Salaberry positions + 1000 mens residing on the opposite coast of the river (Purdy's group).
As for Canadians, there were around 1800 including militia reserves.
I have changed numbers in the article appropriately.
If changing contentious parts of any article, please provide in-line cites and footnotes. Your figures may well be correct, but if unsourced carry no more authority than any other figure pulled out of mid-air. HLGallon (talk) 20:10, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have issues with some of these edits. Firstly, they are obviously self-published. Nothing intrinsically wrong with that, but the edits wander too far from the point, contain too many flowery quotes to be encyclopaedic and essentially are unduly large compared with the main body of the article.

Updated. Some information relevant only to the Voltigeurs has been moved to Canadian Voltigeurs. Overlong quotes have been removed, self-published template removed. Some verbatim quotes are still unclear, but I can't remove them without reverting all of Epouliot74's (talk) input. HLGallon (talk) 10:12, 12 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
