Talk:American Revolutionary War

Semi-protected edit request on 31 August 2024

Can someone edit the page for the commanders of the battles to each have a separate line for each name, as is routine for all other Wikipedia articles for military battles and skirmishes, and to add the  † symbol for David Wooster on the Revolutionary side as he was killed in action at this battle. 2603:9001:4700:8AD3:6579:7A1B:3FE1:EEAF (talk) 04:18, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

 Done (assuming you meant to post this at Battle of Ridgefield), I made the requested changes on that page. Jamedeus (talk) 05:25, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

Mysore?

Mysore Fought in Second Anglo-Mysore War Which was a part of the Fourth Anglo-Dutch War, which was part of the American Revolutionary War. 2405:201:200F:71E7:39C8:DF:F2C7:E7F8 (talk) 11:10, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

The Fourth Anglo-Dutch War occurred simultaneously in connection to, but as part of the American Revolutionary War. Even if it was, Mysore's contribution would not have been substantial as to be listed in the infobox or anywhere else in the article, frankly. Remsense ‥ 论 11:13, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

the mysorean rockets captured from the Mysore wars, were modified and use in the American Revolutionary War, which are now part of the one of the anthems of America.

Also Mysore had a great amount of political influence on founding fathers on america ,especially on the anti-britsh sentiments 2405:201:200F:71E7:39C8:DF:F2C7:E7F8 (talk) 11:21, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

That's all fine and should be mentioned in other more relevant articles, but do not merit mention on this one. Remsense ‥ 论 11:23, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

Should I atleast mention it in the "American Revolution" one tho? Considering Mysore did influence the founding fathers. 49.43.33.84 (talk) 11:49, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

Do you have a reliable source to that effect? Remsense ‥ 论 11:50, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

I will add a reliable source don't worry 2405:201:200F:71E7:39C8:DF:F2C7:E7F8 (talk) 12:10, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

Also any idea why did my IP just change ? In the above above reply? 2405:201:200F:71E7:39C8:DF:F2C7:E7F8 (talk) 12:10, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

That would be dependent on your own internet situation. If you would like such things to remain private, I recommend creating an account. Remsense ‥ 论 12:13, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

The Second Anglo-Mysore War was certainly a part of the same global conflict that erupted as a result of the American Revolution. Mysore should be listed as a co-belligerent, since that's what the very definition of a co-belligerent is, a party that fights on the same side as another in a war without being formally allied to it. Mysore had much more involvement in the war than many of the other parties listed in the infobox, such as most of the indian tribes, the Canadian regiments or the Florida colonies.XavierGreen (talk) 20:55, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

May I request to edit this Wikipedia page for alternate history ideas this is not related to vandalism.

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. TylerBurden (talk) 19:53, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Why are Peyton Randolph, John Hancock, and Benjamin Franklin listed as leaders for the US side?

In the infobox, separated with a line above the military leaders, are what I assume to be the political leaders. Obviously this makes sense for Britain with the king and prime ministers, but what is special about the three men on the American side? There was no chief executive at this time. Randolph and Hancock both served as president of the the Continental Congress, but so did several other people and Franklin did not. mossypiglet (talk) Go blue! 18:12, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
