Neutral point of view?[edit]

It seems to me that the language used in this article is unbalanced. Demonstrators are referred to as "mobs" throughout the article. While the information seems to be accurate, the whole tone of the article seems to breach the guidelines for neutral point of view. However, I'm not certain how to flag this up! -Mia-etol (talk) 09:27, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - Using the {{NPOV}} tag is a good step to take in situations such as that. KConWiki (talk) 02:08, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Judging from the citations, the article seems to be almost entirely the account of one person written in 1877 in the passionate heat of the moment. Jeff in CA (talk) 17:23, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Article duplication[edit]

This article (Battle of the Viaduct) is duplicated with The Battle of the Viaduct. I am going to put up a merge template. KConWiki (talk) 02:08, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
