 * GA review (see here for criteria) (see here for this contributor's history of GA reviews)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written:
 * On Hold
 * 1) "In an action that many considered confirmation of the epithet "Mad"..." Who? This statement should be referenced.
 * 2) *Well, to a first approximation, it is referenced -- by the cite at the end of the sentence. I believe this is more-or-less what the Wickwires claimed.  I think they meant contemporary opinion, but did not go into detail; I'll have to check. I know that Nelson has some interesting contemporary quotes (as opposed to quotes by historians or biographers) that specifically use words like "mad" and "madness", so I can probably rewrite that bit.

 * I've rearranged this, and added some more relevant commentary.  Magic ♪piano 19:27, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) In the battle section, you talk a lot about what Wayne and Lafayette were during the battle. Where was Cornwallis? Did he observe the battle from a remote location or was he with his troops?
 * 2) *Sources generally don't say where Cornwallis was, except to note that he led the countercharge.  Magic ♪piano 19:27, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Are there any ideas on what time the battle began? It's hard to tell until the very end of the battle section any idea of what time things happened.
 * 4) *Added more time indicators.  Magic ♪piano 19:27, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) You should expand the lead a little to include information from the Aftermath and Legacy sections. This will make the lead summarize the whole article.
 * 6) *Done.  Magic ♪piano 19:27, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) It is factually accurate and verifiable:
 * Pass
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage:
 * Pass
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy:
 * Pass
 * 1) It is stable:
 * Pass
 * 1) It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate:
 * Pass
 * 1) Overall:
 * Oh Hold while a few minor things are fixed. — Ed! (talk) 18:36, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
