On 28 May 2023 Florian Straub wrote on Napoleonic Wars:

1. "Invasion of Russia 1812" -> [[Wikipedia:de:Russlandfeldzug 1812]] states it as beginning of the War of the Sixth Coalition, while [[Wikipedia:French invasion of Russia]] doesn't. Also the section "War of the Sixth Coalition 1812–1814" here implies, it's a part of it.

 2. Shouldn't the Military and War project also manage this FSP? 

3. [[Wikipedia:Category:Napoleonic_Wars]] is spelled Napoleonic, so I guess we should rename the category?

Re point 3, the space page is at present in Category: Neapolitan War. This does seem to be an error. The Wikipedia article on the Neapolitan War (1815) says:

Not to be confused with Napoleonic Wars.

Actually, the whole content of Category:Neapolitan War is an error. The description, and the profiles included, all refer to Napoleonic wars in general, or to a particular war which is not the Neapolitan war (e.g., Pierre Wurtz was in the campaign of Russia and died there in 1812). Even Napoleon himself did not personally take part in the Neapolitan war and should not be in the corresponding category.

So the easiest solution would be to change the name of the category, as Richard suggests, if it is doable.

I am sorry Richard. but these types of questions are hard to answer without some clear reference point.
Would you care to attach this to a Wikitree profile?
