I'll take a look at this shortly. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 11:14, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

Prelim

 * No duplicated links
 * No images to check. Suggest adding a general image such as File:Battle of Fort Hindman.png
 * I've gone with the less-embellished File:ArkansasPost-Battle2.jpg. Hog Farm Talk 21:09, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Image looks ok but can't check for certain as the source link doesn't go anywhere
 * I've hunted down the correct URL and have fixed the file page.
 * No edit wars
 * Earwig reports copyvio unlikely

Lede and infobox

 * Infobox missing ship country
 * Done
 * Lede should probably mention that she was purchased by the Union
 * Added
 * For the type in infobox, would "Tinclad sternwheel steamer" work better?
 * Rearranged
 * Link long tons
 * Removed, as none of the sources specify which measure of tonnage was used

Construction and characteristics

 * "were intended to have light drafts" were intended? Did they not already have their small drafts before the purchase?
 * Rephrased
 * Give Porter his rank
 * Added
 * "The process of converting Glide"
 * Done
 * Stipulate long tons as in infobox
 * See above

Service history

 * Link flotilla
 * Linked
 * "part of a naval force" makes it sound like this force differs to the aforementioned Watson Smith flotilla?
 * Reworded a bit - not all of the Watson Smith flotilla was actually involved in the shelling of the fort
 * Link batteries - can you stipulate where these batteries were?
 * Clarified
 * Why is Glide trying to fire into the rear of the fort after it has been captured?
 * Rearranged this sentence
 * Link ashpan
 * Linked
 * Suggest moving the sentence on the origin of the fire to after Glide has finished burning
 * Moved
 * DANFS has the fire starting in the forward part of the ship, which could be added for a little detail
 * Added
 * Give the second Glide her USS
 * Done
