 * All right, the article is expanded and meets min requirement. But the problem is with the hook. The statement seems to be suggesting that the battle was a celebrated river crossing - was the whole battle about the crossing of river alone? Secondly, the hook is cited to ref# 3, The Philippine War, 1899-1902, but the book is not available so I cannot confirm the hook. Is there any other source where this fact is explicitly mentioned?

 * Symbol possible vote.svg Nominator is required to submit a quid pro quo (QPQ) review within a week's time, and is reminded that QPQ's are always required when submitting a DYK nomination after the first five. Work continues on the article, but there is no sign of a willingness to do the review that is required for each submission to DYK. An indication that this requirement is understood would be a welcome step. BlueMoonset (talk) 06:00, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Article expanded and QPQ done. Please address the issues with hook. a) In the current reference (Americans Advance To Malolos, March 24-31, 1899) I did not find any mention of 'most celebrated' or 'celebrated' river crossing. b) The hook suggests that the battle was the river crossing. It needs to be rephrased. Samar  Talk 07:21, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
