Talk:Michel Ney

Posttraumatic stress syndrome

• I have at home a book about battlefield archaeology including about the Battle of Waterloo, that theorizes that Ney's unwise tactics at Waterloo were because he was unfit to command because of severe posttraumatic stress syndrome as a result of his ordeal in the retreat from Moscow.

The Peter Stuart Ney case

The French version has a section about Peter Stuart Ney. Should this as well?

No, it's totally WP:UNDUE. It's an amateur theory at best, not something real historians believe. Harizotoh9 (talk) 12:06, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

Michel Ney

• ... that Michel Ney allowed himself to be tried for treason because "he was French and will remain French"?
  • Reviewed:

Created by Ilikefeeshlol1234321 (talk). Self-nominated at 10:25, 27 January 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Michel Ney; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• welcome to dyk, Ilikefeeshlol1234321! i am not sure if you are already aware, but this project focuses on showcasing new articles and recently improved articles, as explained at wp:dyk. the guidelines at wp:dyknew explain that a nominated article should have been, within the last seven days, either created in article space, expanded at least fivefold, or promoted to good article status.
  unfortunately, this article does not appear to currently be eligible for an appearance at dyk, as it was first created in 2003, and was last edited more than two weeks ago. i do not believe it is feasible to expand the article fivefold, considering the current length of the article, though if you think you can successfully nominate it for good article status, that may be a way to feature this article at dyk in the future.
  apologies for being the bearer of bad news. if you have any questions about the dyk process, please let me know. dying (talk) 14:59, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

Descendants

"Their marriage was childless and the title of Prince de la Moskowa then reverted to Michel's descendants."

But according to the immediately preceding text Ney doesn't seem to have had any (male) descendants in the 1880s. 2A02:AA1:1142:B5CE:748B:B4ED:5B3C:8FA5 (talk) 07:48, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

According to the article "Prince de la Moskowa", the title passed to Léon Napoléon Louis Michel Ney (who was the eldest son of fr:Michel-Aloys Ney) and then to his younger brother Charles Aloys Jean Gabriel Ney. Michel-Aloys Ney was the only son of fr:Michel Louis Félix Ney. This might need a little rewording for clarity. Jean-de-Nivelle (talk) 08:51, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
