531: 190: 502: 547: 386: 941:(Warning, this is not a very accurate version of the battle, the battle comprised of two simultanious actions, one on the hill, and one near some woods. It was near the woods that the eagle was taken, not on the hill. The British marched to recapture the hill, as, if the French held the hill, they could march into the flank of the other British troops. This page needs to be edited to provide a more accurate description of the battle.) - left on the article page by 795: 777: 323: 244: 595: 223: 563: 636: 450: 693: 672: 579: 703: 464: 417: 1144:

Thanks - I was unsure about this, since I've seen a number of FACs complain about redlinks, suggesting either creating stubs or removing the link; I've already created a couple of stubby articles to support this one, but don't know enough about other subjects that could/should be linked (Leval, for

I've put the Spanish link in for now, but if you can find an English translation, that'd be good. Thanks for the correction on Begines's name - my sources all use the spelling in the article, so I'm not sure whether to change it or not. I can't find a WP article under either spelling. If sources

I shall amend the section, inserting those figures unalloyed. They have the merit of providing a clear idea of the size of the forces engaged and the proportion of casualties suffered. If there are more recent, more reliable figures available, I trust they can been inserted at some future date.

was completely correct in his/her comment; the article as it stood was nonsense. I have just finished updating it to reflect actual facts, but I would very much appreciate new references in the article. Weller or Oman would be good - unfortunately, I don't have access to them at the moment, so
1324:
Really? Silent noodling with figures in this way has a tendency to render trivial both the issue and the article. If there is a discussion to be had regarding relative strengths of opposing forces in this battle (or any other) then surely that belongs in the main body of the article
1016:
Could the IP address who changed the number of people in the Regency governing Cádiz please provide a source, since the only reference I have (Glover) clearly states three, and it is that source that's cited. Without a proper citation to support the number five, I shall revert.
1001:
Agree with the comment on the accuracy of this whole article too. The order of battle is wrong, and to suggest that all the casualties on the British/Spanish side were British is an insult to the Portuguese who fought alongside the Brits.
1020:
Note that I have no problem with the change in number, but the change contradicts the article's current citation, and as such must be removed, or the citation provided. I'll revert in a few days if citation isn't forthcoming. Thanks.

Additionally, Bernard Cornwell's book 990:
I've put a {{fact}} tag on the statement that the laurel on the captured eagle was from the 8eme Ligne's actions at Talavera. The only online source I've been able to find about the laurel is

indicates Austerlitz as the source of the laurel, but of course that's a work of fiction and hence definitely not citable, although Cornwell usually researches his novels pretty well.
