So where on earth should this article be located? He's normally called Lord George Germain (which doesn't even redirect here as I'm writing this, sigh), and his surname changed like two or three times...Before, it didn't even have the "Germain" anywhere in the article title, which is just really bad. At any rate, I'm open to ideas. johnk 17:33, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)
No clue. On a totally different manner, was he "Secretary of State for the America" (as the article mentions), or "Secretary of State for America", or just Colonial Secretary? ugen64 14:11, Oct 30, 2004 (UTC)
Cashiered?

it says after the Battle of Minden he was "cashiered and sent home." What does cashiered mean? I've never heard that term. Maybe it's British English (I'm American) --Awiseman 15:37, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

This article is far more negative towards Sackville's actions at Minden than seems appropriate. The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography article on him seems much more even-handed. It mentions nothing of antipathy towards Granby or a desire to deny him glory. Instead, it basically says that Sackville's failure to take advantage of the opportunity largely arose through a misunderstanding, facilitated by confused orders from Ferdinand. It basically says that Sackville's disgrace was a result of unfair attacks after the battle by Ferdinand, and that the court martial convicting him came as close as possible to acquittal without actually acquitting him (which would have been embarrassing for the king). Should we modify this? john k (talk) 14:18, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
Dangling reference to "Weintraub p.31" in the "References" section
Latest comment: 4 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion
Several of the entries -- including 5 of the first 6 entries! -- in the "References" section of the article, say only "Weintraub" followed by a page number, which is confusing to me. The first three, e.g., say "Weintraub p.31".
I could not find the character string "Weintraub" anywhere else in that article.
Is it supposed to be obvious, which author (and which work by that author) named "Weintraub" is meant? (/slash "implied") -- ? --
Any comments?
Thanks for listening. --Mike Schwartz (talk) 18:03, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
