Unsourced claim: Flag[edit]

I am moving the following paragraph to talk:

With Gen. John Stricker of the Maryland Militia, Barney was responsible for the creation of the flag that flew over Fort McHenry that inspired Francis Scott Key to write "The Star Spangled Banner."^{[citation needed]} The flag itself was sewn by Mary Young Pickersgill of Baltimore.

I had previously tagged the paragraph with {{fact}}, but upon reviewing User talk: 12.5.1.207, it is clear that the anonymous user that added this unsourced statement to the article has a history of adding incorrect information to articles. If Barney was in fact involved in the creation of the flag, let's get a citation before moving it back. Toddst1 (talk) 19:03, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Marine contribution to the battle[edit]

I think it is unclear, to me it makes it appear as with close-ranged melee weapons made for boarding that they Marines held off British forces who had superior numbers (which is odd as the Americans overall had more by far) for 4 hours, which either is not true or the USMC has deity abilities. Somebody please clarify, I Googled the statement only to seem the same exact line parroted over and over in the exact format as in this article on multiple pages with the same level of clarity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2000:8161:C100:1DE2:8E9E:5B6A:2662 (talk) 16:09, 7 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
