"Inconstant" carried 1,000 men?
Under the heading "Return to France", the second sentence states "On 26 February 1815, when the British and French guard ships were absent, he slipped away from Portoferraio on board the French brig Inconstant with some 1,000 men and landed at Golfe-Juan..." (emphasis added). This is confusingly written, as it suggests that there were "some 1,000 men" aboard the "Inconstant" with Napoleon; an impossibility. That ship was a mere 96 feet long, and normally carried no more than 160 men. There would be no space aboard such a small ship to fit 1,000 men, and their weight would have sunk her! Perhaps the bulk of the men were borne by other craft that accompanied the "Inconstant". Can someone more knowledgeable about this particular incident rewrite this to clarify?

"Kingdom of France" versus "France"
I'm not exactly clear on why the troops of the deposed Napoleon escaping from Elba count in the belligerents list as representing "France" while the actual government of France after Napoleon was deposed is relegated to being the "Kingdom of France". Shouldn't the belligerents on Napoleon's side be identified as "Bonapartists" at this point rather than as if they were "France"? Zachary Klaas (talk) 14:58, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

- Oppose. "Hundred Days" is by far the common name. Walrasiad (talk) 13:31, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose: Hundred Days gets far more hits. YorkshireExpat (talk) 15:43, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: On the matter of consistency, the current procedure of simply qualifying this when appropriate as the "War of the Seventh Coalition, also known as the Hundred Days (March – July 1815)" like is the case of the WP:COMMONNAME within historiography to maintain it as the title.

- Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:13, 17 August 2022 (UTC)]

CN Spam
I replaced the fifteen {{cn|date=November 2022}} tags with a single {{More citations needed section|date=November 2022}} tag. Citation Needed spam makes any article hard to read, but having the tag at the end of nearly every line in a list is especially dreadful. Can we please not put them back unless we can get it down to less than half? Cheers, Last1in (talk) 00:27, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
