I will take this one, comments to follow in due course. Zawed (talk) 09:43, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

Not much to pick on here, I did fix a minor punctuation issue. Comments as follows:

Lead Construction and early use Later use and destruction Other stuff That's it for me, placing on hold. Zawed (talk) 09:47, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
 * The last four sentences all use the word fort, just wonder if this could be changed up for a little variety, e.g. fortification
 * Reworded to remove two instances of the word
 * It was completed by October 29,[6] and a dedication for the fort was held on October 30.: to avoid having successive dates in the same sentence, suggest "It was completed by October 29,[6] and a dedication for the fort was held the following day."
 * Done
 * In mid-1863, Confederate leadership...: suggest "In mid-1863, the Confederate leadership..."
 * Done
 * ...and was located between the two works.: suggest "...and was positioned between the two works." This avoids the double usage of "located" in the same sentence.
 * Done
 * Confederate troops never again made a major threat against Helena for the rest the war,...: Missing the "of" before "the war", but regardless, this seems convoluted (perhaps to avoid hewing too close to the source?), perhaps "Confederate troops did not threaten Helena for the rest of the war,..."
 * I've opted for a different rewording - I'm not a big fan of the "did not threaten" wording, as it would suggest that there weren't any minor cavalry or guerrilla instances in the area, which I can't confirm. Hog Farm Talk 19:01, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Sources look OK
 * Image tags OK
 * No dupe links
 * - Thanks for the review! Replies above. Hog Farm Talk 19:01, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
 * - just wanted to make sure you hadn't missed the responses above. Hog Farm Talk 15:52, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm happy with this. Am passing as GA now, as I consider that this meets the necessary criteria. Cheers, Zawed (talk) 08:28, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
