Here are some of my concerns: </p> <ul><li>The lead is still too short and doesn't summarise the article completely</li> <li>A picture is still without a suitable caption</li> <li>The Later Life section is still far too short and needs expansion</li> <li>Legacy section stil only has one citation and needs one for each quotation</li> <li>Still not enough citations in some sections, especially the latter part of Commander In Chief. See my previous comments for more details.</li> <li>References either all need ISBN numbers or none should have them - several still have them.</li> <li>References also need to be properly cited using the templates.</li></ul> <p>I think that's enough for now. There has been work done on the article, but I feel it may be better to fail the article and allow you to work on it, then re-nom it at a later time. <a href="/wiki/User:Skinny87" title="User:Skinny87">Skinny87</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Skinny87" title="User talk:Skinny87">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Henry_Clinton_(British_Army_officer,_born_1730)#c-Skinny87-2008-06-23T20:07:00.000Z-Reviewer_Comments" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">20:07, 23 June 2008 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Skinny87-2008-06-23T20:07:00.000Z-Reviewer_Comments"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Skinny87-2008-06-23T20:07:00.000Z-Reviewer_Comments"></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="His_descendants_familiar_to_Americans!" data-mw-thread-id="h-His_descendants_familiar_to_Americans!-2008-07-14T12:57:00.000Z"><span id="His_descendants_familiar_to_Americans.21"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-His_descendants_familiar_to_Americans!-2008-07-14T12:57:00.000Z"></span>His descendants familiar to Americans!<span data-mw-comment-end="h-His_descendants_familiar_to_Americans!-2008-07-14T12:57:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:Henry_Clinton_(British_Army_officer,_born_1730)&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: His descendants familiar to Americans!"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-134.53.145.204-2008-07-14T12:57:00.000Z-His_descendants_familiar_to_Americans!"></span>Two of Henry Clinton descendants were actress <a href="/wiki/Angela_Baddeley" title="Angela Baddeley">Angela Baddeley</a> and her sister <a href="/wiki/Hermione_Baddeley" title="Hermione Baddeley">Hermione Baddeley</a> {Herminoe was married to a son of <a href="/wiki/Edward_Tennant,_1st_Baron_Glenconner" title="Edward Tennant, 1st Baron Glenconner">Edward Tennant, 1st Baron Glenconner</a> and was a sister-in-law to Prime Minister <a href="/wiki/H._H._Asquith" title="H.

A few of the things I've come across: </p> <ul><li>Clinton was born in Newfoundland, then a British colony over which his father, George Clinton, was governor - Of which, surely? FIXED</li></ul> <ul><li>In 1751, the young Henry went to England - why 'the young' in here? FIXED</li></ul> <ul><li>He was at first commissioned as a Captain - Again, no need for 'at first', it just sounds awkward. FIXED</li></ul> <ul><li>The lead is also far too short. It should summarise the article and be at least two paragraphs, not a few sentences.</li></ul> <p>1.2 <b>Manual of Style</b> I have several issues about the article for this section: </p> <ul><li>The links to external websites in the citations should be formatted (use of <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:Citeweb" class="mw-redirect" title="Template:Citeweb">citeweb</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span> template is recommended, though not required) to include access dates. Note this will not fail a GA Review, but is extremely helpful. UNABLE TO FIX (Did not add EL sources)</li></ul> <ul><li>All of the references are not cited properly using the correct citation templates, which is a major issue. (References are now properly cited)</li></ul> <ul><li>References using the same page numbers of the same book need to be combined together. (It is not apparent as to which page they are referring to)</li></ul> <ul><li>Regarding layout, the accepted format is for "See also" to come before the Notes and Refs sections (per <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:LAYOUT" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:LAYOUT">WP:LAYOUT</a>), and headings should normally be singular (per <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:MOSHEAD" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:MOSHEAD">WP:MOSHEAD</a>), so "Evaluations" should be "Evaluation" (although to be honest a more appropriate title could be found - 'Evaluation' sounds rather like <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:OR" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:OR">WP:OR</a>.

Some sections only have one or two per large paragraph, which I don't believe to be enough. (Only contentious material must be cited. Some of the cites are most likely for whole paragraphs)</li></ul> <ul><li>There is practically nothing on Clinton's later life, and having done several university courses on the American War of Revolution know that there was a great deal he did in his later career. That section also has no references and requires them. (Was unable to locate any further information on his post ARW career)</li></ul> <ul><li>His early career also has very few citations, and more are needed.</li></ul> <ul><li>Specific sentences requiring citation include the following ones below. Citations for quotes are mandatory at GA level.</li></ul> <dl><dd><dl><dd>The sentence "Late during the Seven Years' War, Clinton distinguished himself (1760–1762) as an aide-de-camp to Duke Ferdinand of Brunswick, and he was promoted to full Colonel in 1762." says he 'distinguished himself'. Unless this is backed up with a cite, it comes over as editor opinion.</dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd>Also, "...Clinton strongly advocated that British forces secure them against rebel occupation, but his warnings went unheeded by Howe." Who says Howe ignored Clinton, and where do they say it?</dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd>He was, wrote Major Wemyss who served under him, "an honourable and respectable officer of the German school; having served under Prince Ferdinand of Prussia and the Duke of Brunswick. Vain, open to flattery; and from a great aversion to all business not military, too often misled by aides de camp and favourites."</dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd>The Colonel Charles Stuart vitriolically called him "fool enough to command an army when he is incapable of commanding a troop of horse."</dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd>In 1782, Clinton was replaced as Commander-in-Chief by Sir Guy Carleton, and he returned to England. His replacement is linked to the fate of the southern army, which was surrounded and forced to surrender by George Washington and the Comte de Rochambeau, who commanded a combined French-American Army after the Siege of Yorktown. - Seems like <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:OR" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:OR">WP:OR</a> without at least one citation and a rewrite.</dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd>By late in 1779, having called in the troops from Newport to do so, Clinton had assembled a strong force for the next step in this strategy, an invasion of South Carolina. Clinton took personal command of this campaign, and the task force with 14,000 men sailed south from New York at the end of the year. By early 1780, Clinton had brought Charleston under siege. In May, working together with Admiral Mariot Arbuthnot, he forced the surrender of the city, with its garrison of 5,000, in a stunning and serious defeat for the rebel cause. - Needs at least one citation, if not more.</dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd>In June, an attack under Clinton's command was made on Fort Sullivan at Charleston, South Carolina.

There are many books listed under "References" that don't appear in the "Notes" (so were they used at all?), and one in the "Notes" that has no accompanying Reference. These definitely need some work. Also, all books for which ISBN's exist (post 1966ish) should give them.

The unit history shows that his unit, 2nd Battalion, 1st Foot Guards deployed in July 1760 which is why he wasn't in Germany before. There is no involvement of the 2nd Battalion, 1st Foot Guards (or any of that Regiment) at the Battles of Corpach (which was before they arrived) and Kloster Kampen. The same unit history is quite specific about where Clinton was wounded and it was not the battle of Freiberg. The campaign history of the Seven Years War suggests that Prince Ferdinand was no where near the Battle of Freiberg and it was fought by the Prussian Army. The date of his promotion is in the Army Rolls but he was still held to Establishment of 1st Foot Guards in 1763. The units of the Regiment returned via Holland in January 1763 but it is not stated whether Clinton was with them but it seems unlikely. </p><p>He purchased <a href="/wiki/Colonel_in_Chief" class="mw-redirect" title="Colonel in Chief">Colonel in Chief</a> (which is not command) of the 12th Regiment of Foot (the Suffolk Regiment) on 28 November 1766 but this is not chronologically in sequence and beyond the Seven Years War. The unit was commanded by Lieutenant Colonel William Picton. The discussion regarding friendships is not my expertise and I have left it. I hope this helps clarify this part of his history. <a href="/wiki/User:Family_locator" title="User:Family locator">Family locator</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Family_locator" title="User talk:Family locator">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Henry_Clinton_(British_Army_officer,_born_1730)#c-Family_locator-2013-11-04T03:07:00.000Z-Seven_Years_War" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">03:07, 4 November 2013 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Family_locator-2013-11-04T03:07:00.000Z-Seven_Years_War"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Family_locator-2013-11-04T03:07:00.000Z-Seven_Years_War"></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Potential_title_move" data-mw-thread-id="h-Potential_title_move-2016-06-22T01:41:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Potential_title_move-2016-06-22T01:41:00.000Z"></span>Potential title move<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Potential_title_move-2016-06-22T01:41:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:Henry_Clinton_(British_Army_officer,_born_1730)&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Potential title move"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-DaltonCastle-2016-06-22T01:41:00.000Z-Potential_title_move"></span>Its been several years since the discussion, but what are everyone's thoughts about moving this page, as well as the pages for the other "Henry Clintons" to shorter, less cumbersome titles?

It's also arguably a violation of <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:PARENDIS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:PARENDIS">WP:PARENDIS</a>, which mandates that article title disambiguation should have "only as much additional detail as necessary".

An argument could be made for either term in his disambiguation, since he was indeed British but is notable for an overwhelmingly American topic.

(He is, for instance, currently <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://turn.wikia.com/wiki/Henry_Clinton">a recurring character on an American network television programme</a>, though other characters have repeatedly referred to him as "Sir Clinton".) I'd prefer "American Revolutionary War" as the main title, but that's because I've always preferred that as being much more natural English than "American War of Independence"; I wouldn't object to it going the other way.
