I reverted it back once due to vandalism. Can someone tell me how to report these people so the admininstrators can block them? ParallelPain 06:14, 23 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

check in the "interaction" box (to the left) and click on "Help" and go to "Keeping Track of Changes" and open "Vandalism". That should get you started.Skopelos-Slim 08:11, 23 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Mass Evacuation

edit

The first paragraph of this section contained a significant error. The massacre that followed the Battle of Wyoming was of Patriot militia and Continentals, not women and children. Meginness refers to a "massacre at Wyoming" but does not provide any details. Mintz does not claim a massacre of women and children, nor does Barr. The American defeat, however, did trigger a mass exodus from the Wyoming Valley.

A recent, reliable and fairly detailed source of information is Harry Schenawolf's "Battle of Wyoming – American Defeat or Massacre?" which can be found at https://www.revolutionarywarjournal.com/battle-of-wyoming-american-defeat-or-massacre/ Griffin's Sword (talk) 19:53, 26 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
