A Main Page error report was submitted, and the DYK on the main page was changed from that listed above, to this:
... that the Triple Alliance of 1788, formed on the verge of the French Revolution, almost led to a war which would have pitted Great Britain and Prussia against Russia?
"A" war, not "the" war, and "Great Britain" rather than "England".
I've added an image. What would be more appropriate would be a map of Europe in 1788 but I couldn't find anything relevant on Commons. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 22:56, 17 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
The lead section is far too short and needs to be expanded to fully summarize the article. For example, the context of the alliance, who it was structured against, and other issues should be added to the introduction to give the reader some idea of what the article is about.
