"line"[edit]

I suggest the term "column" should be used to avoid the confusion that might be brought by the conflicting terms "line of battle" and "line formation". The former resembles | while the latter resembles __. The article uses "line" frequently to refer to the line of battle, which in the context of small unit infantry tactics may be confusing.D Boland (talk) 22:23, 16 March 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I'm changing that now, as it confused me as well. 72.200.151.13 (talk) 00:24, 26 September 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Is this actually notable?[edit]

There seems to be only one citation on this page. Is this actually a notable topic with more coverage? Ascendingrisingharmonising (talk) 13:25, 9 April 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I've tagged the page appropriately. Perhaps somebody who knows the subject better than I can source this. BusterD (talk) 14:15, 9 April 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
