Natchez revolt

 * Nominator(s): User:Maunus ·ʍaunus·snunɐw·

I am nominating this article for A-Class review because following the recent failed FAC the article has now been significantly expanded and improved, and a milhist A-class review will be a good way of making sure everything is in order before a further FAC attempt.

 * Comments Support
 * No dab links (no action req'd).
 * External links check out (no action req'd).
 * One of the maps lacks Alt Text so you might consider adding it for consistency (suggestion only - not an ACR req).
 * The Citation Check Tool reveals no issues with reference consolidation (no action req'd).
 * Images all appear to be free / PD and information looks ok. Captions look fine (no action req'd).
 * The Earwig Tool reveal no issues with copyright violation or close paraphrasing (no action req'd).
 * A couple of duplicate links per WP:REPEATLINK:
 * Fort St. Pierre
 * Grand Village of the Natchez
 * Tattooed Arm
 * Is this a typo? "...another factor that complicated the relation between the Natchez..." should this be something like: "...another factor that complicated relations' between the Natchez..."
 * I read through it and couldn't find any major issues - looks like a high quality article to me. Anotherclown (talk) 04:27, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I've taken care of the repeatlinks and the the plural relations.User:Maunus ·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 16:16, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
 * And I've added alt text for that map. Thanks for your input, and thank you, Dank, for your support. Jsayre64   (talk)  17:03, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

Support with comments:
 * Good to see an article on this period. It is well referenced to a decent range of high quality sources.
 * In terms of copyediting:
 * "They first responded by ordering a massacre on the Chaouacha people," - I'd recommend "of the Chaouacha people"
 * "but retaliatory expeditions on Natchez refugees " - "against Natchez refugees"?
 * "who were allied with the British and had received guns from the British" - any way of avoiding the repetition of the "British" bit here?
 * "paramount chief" - worth wikilinking
 * "There are reports of colonists abusing Natchez" - "are reports", or "were reports"?
 * " In truth, each village was autonomous" - earlier the description was "semi-autonomous"
 * "pelts, oil, poultry, and grain" - "pelts, oil, poultry and grain" (last comma's not needed here)
 * " with corn, poultry, and deerskins" - ditto with the last comma
 * "Chépart ran to call his soldiers to garrison" - I wasn't sure what this meant. Did it mean "to call his soldiers back to the garrison", or "to call his soldiers to arms"?
 * "having stocked up several cannons and the firearms " - "having stockpiled several cannons"?
 * "There has been historical controversy about whether the Natchez plotted with other major tribes of the region to plan a simultaneous attack on the French" - Could simply be "There has been historical controversy about whether the Natchez planned a simultaneous attack on the French with the other major tribes of the region." (avoids "plotting" and "planning"). Hchc2009 (talk) 17:42, 23 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your support. Except for the commas, which I have left alone for consistency per MOS:SERIAL, I believe I have addressed your comments. Jsayre64   (talk)  18:25, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
