Wound up being a lot busier this weekend than expected, hopefully I can get to this tomorrow. Hog Farm _Talk 04:02, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Texas was annexed by the United States of America in 1845" - briefly mention Texian independence from Mexico, so it's clearer that it don't go straight from Mexican to US control?
- Done –♠Vami _IV†♠ 01:21, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Infobox says built 1846, but this doesn't seem to be what the article content says at all?
- Axed. –♠Vami _IV†♠ 01:21, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"General David E. Twiggs" - Twiggs was technically a Brig. Gen (brevet Maj. Gen) at this point in time
- I'll call him a "Brevet Major General". –♠Vami _IV†♠ 01:21, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"Confederate forces were unable to defend Texas" - Against whom? I assume the Native Americans, as the Union didn't really do much in Texas beyond the Gulf Coast
- Yup, indeed. Addressed. –♠Vami _IV†♠ 01:21, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
" Brevet Major General Ranald S. Mackenzie,[37] arrived at Fort McKavett with F and" - don't need the comma, I don't think
- Removed –♠Vami _IV†♠ 01:21, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"with policing during Reconstruction" - link Reconstruction
- Added –♠Vami _IV†♠ 01:21, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think the marker image needs to be used twice. Maybe File:Fort McKavett HQ.jpg instead?
- Oops, I forgot to remove it from the gallery. –♠Vami _IV†♠ 01:21, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe File:Fort McKavett Commander's house.jpg instead of the other ruins picture? It gives a somewhat better angle/scale
- Used to replace the gallery along with the above suggested image. –♠Vami _IV†♠ 01:21, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
140 acres in the infobox doesn't seem to be anywhere else
- Oops. –♠Vami _IV†♠ 01:21, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
May 17, 1968 date from the infobox doesn't seem to be cited anywhere
- Weird that I didn't notice this earlier. –♠Vami _IV†♠ 01:21, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good, that's all from me. Hog Farm _Talk 22:31, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
