Good afternoon. I'll be reviewing the article. Comments to follow in the table.

, this is close to passing, and I hope you will not find my comments too onerous. If you can make some changes and respond to my comments where you feel it is necesary, I'm sure we can come to a positive conclusion shortly. Heavy Grasshopper (talk) 16:42, 21 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Thanks very much for the review! The comments weren't too onerous at all. I believe I've implemented the majority of your suggestions.
 * I moved the order of the first quote box and the multi-image to create more space between the quote boxes. How is that?
 * I added a couple sentences about Brands and his track record of writing popular histories for the general public. In the content section, I added half a sentence to the last paragraph to identify that some of the secondary sources American Colossus cites are books Brands wrote. Does that help that paragraph read as more complete?
 * I removed the paragraph about the American Historical Review. If memory serves, I think what I had been trying to do was to get around the sources' elision of the paperback's publication date, but if neither the American Historical Review or Civil War Book Review will come out and say that the 2011 edition received was a paperback (in the former's case) or that the paperback was published in 2011 (in the latter's case), maybe it's better to just let that go.
 * I did leave the price conversions in, as you described it as a minor point, but if you find you feel strongly I could still remove them.
 * As for the book cover, I'm afraid I didn't encounter direct commentary on any cover of the book, so it is primarily there for identifying purposes.
 * If there's anything else you need about this article for the review process, feel free to ping me again. Thanks! Hydrangeans (she/her &#124; talk &#124; edits) 17:44, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your response. I'm happy with the changes and will pass as GA now. Thanks for bringing this article into the world. Heavy Grasshopper (talk) 09:31, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
