A "Colonel Miller" is referenced in the fourth paragraph of the Second Tippecanoe Campaign section without any further definition. I understand that either a full name (preferably with link if the person is notable) should be given or the name should be removed. Similarly see later references to Colonels Wilcox and Beckes.
The fifth paragraph references "a Native standing". The next sentence references "the rider". The terms "standing" and "rider" are inconsistent. Also, is reference to "a Native" appropriate?
Was "Kumakskau Shawnee brother of Tecumseh in command" on the US or Native American side? I assume the latter but he is listed on the former side.--Rpclod (talk) 14:42, 22 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
