== Jheeghun ==
Sorry. I have fixed the coordinates. Jheeghun is described as 17 miles from Chutterpore (Chhatarpur). You probably noticed that by mapping the Nerbudda Fild Force route I finally pinpointed Kurrereah as Kararia. I also managed to correct Bhowragarh location. Small triumphs!--[[User:Symorsebrown|Sy]] 02:15, 6 October 2009 (PDT)
 
== Amritsar ==
Is the Massacre a bit too one sided to be under Battles? We have the Delhi massacre in that category. We also have the Battle of Trimmoo Ghaut which should be called a massacre as John Nicholson annihilated the 46th BNI. Again there is Cawnpore (Bibigarh) which was no battle but the slaughter of helpless prisoners. Also I am about to write a page for the destruction of the 26th BNI which was wiped out at Ajnala after surrendering. Maybe we should have a Category:Outrages but it is dangerously subjective. A FIBIS policy decision?<br>
I have also made a few pages recently for the outbreak of mutiny at various locations. I have put them under Indian Mutiny obviously but also under Battles and used the Battle Info Box. They can't really go under Mutinies as they would look as though they were separate from the Indian Mutiny. Any suggestions?--[[User:Symorsebrown|Sy]] 10:38, 14 October 2009 (PDT)

:On our earlier subject of what comes under Battles, would it be helpful if the title were 'Battles and Actions' as was the original table?--[[User:Symorsebrown|Sy]] 04:21, 16 October 2009 (PDT)

== Digital Library of India ==
Maureen has just put a link on the Indian Mutiny page to the Digital Library of India. I can't seem to make it connect to anything coherent. Is it me? The same link is on 13th BNI page. BTW I have found the archive.org History of the Indian Mutiny which I have added.--[[User:Symorsebrown|Sy]] 09:56, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

== Naval matters ==
Thanks Sarah. I was unaware of this section. I have two articles: Shannon's Naval Brigade and Pearl's Naval Brigade. I have made categories for each. Do you think these categories should be removed and the articles put under Category:Naval and Maritime? or maybe Category:Navy?. I would like your advice. Thanks.--[[User:Symorsebrown|Sy]] 07:30, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
 
== 19th Light Dragoons ==
You are quite right Sarah. I was drunk with power and didn't check the links. In principle I think we should use the contemporary regiment titles when listing the forces of a particular campaign. That means we either need an article for that title with a redirect or we put in a portmanteau link. I don't think it realistic to create articles and redirects for all the former titles so inevitably we have many many portmanteau internal links. It will never be black and white however so I am happy for you to reinstate 19th Light Dragoons. I don't think I am able to do it.--[[User:Symorsebrown|Sy]] 08:19, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
