 * No DABs
 * A disambiguation link, where an editor has not specified his exact meaning when multiple possibilities exist.
 * OK, thanks.
 * Be consistent within paragraphs about either spelling out numbers or using digits for the same sorts of things
 * See bullet #5 of MOS:NUMNOTES: "Comparable values should be all spelled out or all in figures, even if one of the numbers would normally be written differently: patients' ages were five, seven, and thirty-two or ages were 5, 7 and 32, but not ages were five, seven and 32."
 * Geographic places like city, state, need a trailing comma
 * See MOS:GEOCOMMA
 * I was caught out like this my very own self.
 * the troops took part reads oddly, perhaps "the unit"
 * They marched 15 mi marched or rode?
 * link Bayou Boef
 * but the 1st Mississippi (AD) had seen its first combat seems redundant
 * Suggest using "garrison duty" for some of the time that the unit wasn't on campaign
 * eight officers and men killed and 10 men wounded Why break out the officers among the dead, but not among the wounded?
 * ❌ The only source (and I just re-checked it) for this data lists it this way.
 * Interesting, but OK
 * from Vicksburg to Memphis from Vicksburg
 * , the largest unit. awkward
 * Not sure that the officer section is really all that useful; it's just a laundry list of names and fates
 * I'm surprised that the casualty toll is so low, but I'd suggest summarizing the table instead
 * ❌ I'd prefer to keep the table. I added a qualifier (According to Official...). Note2 warns that it may not match data given in the text.
 * Don't shorten months
 * Only use ranks and first names on first mention
