  • Lead and infobox;
    • 41,000 Russians and 24,000 Austrians "respectively"
    • No need to cite the info in the infobox because it is just a representation of already cited data in the prose this is a debatable change, and I'll leave it this way until the MH standard changes.
  • Section 1;
    • Frankfurt an der Oder; in lead it is "Frankfurt (Oder)", be consistent fixed
  • Section 2;
    • suited itself well to defense; is a bit awkward and confusing, reword fixed
    • south-west, north east, south east, south-east; be consistent, use hyphenation or just leave it. Fix through the article fixed
    • Why italics for "all" in "that all the Allies"? Frederick thought that he would face a few, not all emphasis
    • army around to the south east This way; a full stop after "south east" fixed
  • Section 3;
    • 2 a.m. -> 2:00 am, per MOS:TIME fixed
    • redeployment is a single wordfixed
    • 11:30 , am or pm?, format per MOS:TIMEfixed
    • 80 enemy cannon -> 80 enemy cannons
    • Who is Prince Henry?fixed
  • Section 3.1;
    • rank or title of Friedrich Wilhelm von Seydlitz?fixed
    • Cossacks is over linkedfixed
    • last-ditch effort; it is not a standard dictionary word, better use general wording Merriam webster, Cambridge, Columbia, and in thesauruses.
    • led an Austrian and Russian horse counter-attack; this is a bit confusing, did he uses horses to counter or what? make it clearer ok, but general use for cavalry is "horse"

  • Section 4;
    • they participated in the Battle of Maxen; did they win the battle? mention that moved to footnote
    • Cossack and Carl Heinrich von Wedel; they are over-linked fixed
    • Lieutenant General August Frederick von Itzenplitz(5 September); care the spacing fixed'fixed'
    • The crushing defeat fixed (although sources say"crushing")
    • Henry? What was his full name, any rank, title, position? and link fixed
    • her nephew; mention the full name fixed
  • Section 5; all good
  • 3.8% confidence, violation unlikely
