Suggestions for Improvements
A very well cited and interesting article but a few suggestions/ideas for further improvement
 * A photo would greatly improve the article if possible
 * More on Personal life to improve background
 * Military Career Before 1812
 * Improved Introduction with more information added

 * I've looked and looked and looked, there are no images of Captain Hart available anywhere online, I did find that photo of the Monroe Memorial. I'll see if I can find perhaps some pics of his family-homes.
 * I'll look and see what I can find about his personal life, the story about Elliott being a guest at Hart's family-home and then betraying him can easily be fleshed-out quite a bit.
 * Re: Military career...the coverage is quite sparse and this unit was a frontier-militia unit so the documentation is lacking (so many wooden structures burned down) plus frontier record-keeping wasn't always the best. I'll see what I can find, there's a mention in one of the sources that Hart might have gone to Princeton.
 * In the course of my research, other authors/researchers have also mentioned the lack of historical documentation especially regarding the American troops who were at Raisin/Frenchtown. There was a mix of regulars and militia and so many of the troops died that there wasn't much, if any, institutional memory.
 * Thanks for the feedback, I was looking at the criteria and had thought that the article was good enough for C-Class (it seemed to me to be in the league of the given-example), but I'm sure there's always room for improvement. I'll probably ask you for a re-assessment after a while.Shearonink (talk) 04:22, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

For what it's worth, I thought it met the criteria for C-class. I suspect the painting by Jouett will be the only extant picture of Hart, if it is, in fact, still extant. I didn't find it online either, but if it can be found, it would be PD, since Jouett is long-dead. Good luck in expanding this article. It is a needed addition, especially since a county is named after the guy. I hope you will also create articles about any of the other River Raisin victims you find enough information about. I understand that the information is sparse, but this was a really big deal in Kentucky history. Thanks for your work. 15:26, 26 October 2011 (UTC)


 * The MilHist WikiProject has assessed it as a B-Class, I'll just have to work to improve it on the other Projects' assessment-scales when I have more time. Shearonink (talk) 16:01, 26 October 2011 (UTC)


 * I agree with the assessment by MilHist WikiProject and have revised the WikiProject Maryland class assessment to B. Folklore1 (talk) 12:37, 2 November 2011 (UTC)


 * The two citation needed tags are inconsistent with WP:MILHIST assessing B1 as Yes, so I have revised this assessment to C class. Another inconsistency is that the military history assessment will appear on the page based on the ratings for B1-B5 at this level no matter what is entered for class=.  The B level assessment left the entry for class at Start.  For consistency among projects I have entered C for the class in all projects, which I realize may not be entirely consistent with their standards.  --Lineagegeek (talk) 21:49, 12 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Well I fixed the citation issues. I'm not sure I understand all the ins & outs of assessments but yeah...probably not consistent.  I guess I'll try posting on those various projects and see if I can get newly-minted assessments from all the various projects. Shearonink (talk) 03:17, 13 May 2016 (UTC)


 * WikiProject class assessments need not be consistent, as each project can have different quality assessment standards, as evidenced by the aforementioned standards of WikiProject Military History. Per our own assessment standards, I have restored the rating of this article to class B for WikiProject Maryland. ~ Erick Shepherd  • ( Talk ) • 12:10, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

Number of soldiers killed and number of survivors
I apologize for the two 'citation-needed' templates I added today but I've looked and looked and cannot find a reliable source for the specific numbers of 397 killed & 547 survivors. Battle of Frenchtown mentions an "official count" but then doesn't actually cite it. The casualty figures are repeated in various web sources, but I am concerned that they are repeating a self-perpetuating information loop. If someone can find this official count in whatever US Government report or official Army dispatch or War Department communique it possibly exists in and add the reference here and to the Battle of Frenchtown article, that would be most helpful. Thanks, Shearonink (talk) 18:05, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Fixed, taken-care of. Shearonink (talk) 03:17, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

Full citation needed
Lossing, Page 359. What is this? 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 20:18, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I didn't put that ref in (that I remember), went out and found the complete information. VERY interesting book and facsimile editions are apparently available as reprints.  Cheers, Shearonink (talk) 20:50, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
 * It's there. I missed it.   7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 21:07, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
 * It was probably orphaned in some series of edits - happens. I know when I looked at the article text there was nothing other than the last name &  page reference... Shearonink (talk) 21:29, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
 * That was exactly what I thought I saw. But it's gone now.  7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 21:39, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
 * ? I think that's because I fixed it, so the "Lossing, Page 359" was replaced by my referencing wonderfulness. Shearonink (talk) 21:44, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Good job! 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 21:46, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Btw, I found where the complete citation was removed.  I can see basically see why, doesn't completely make sense to me but that's ok.  Anyhow, all fixed-up now.  Whew with all this work, maybe I will put it up for a GA.Shearonink (talk) 22:02, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
