Battle of Baton Rouge (1862)
Would like to know what I can do to improve the Quality of this article beyond start-class. Thanks, Sdsouza 17:12, 3 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the suggestions. Let me go off and act on these. I am not sure about getting to FA - mainly because I thought the battle not as important as to merit it - but i guess all of the suggestions will go a long way in making this a good article. Sdsouza 22:45, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Several things you could do:


 * 1) Add more in-line citations.
 * 2) Expand the lead and the aftermath sections.
 * 3) Get rid of the order of battle section. It's unnecessary.
 * 4) Depends on how far you want to take this article. If you want to go to FA, then you're going to have to expand almost every section in there.

Hope that was helpful.UberCryxic 20:52, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Not too bad, actually. Some suggestions: Kirill Lokshin 20:57, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Citations are essential, and should be added in large numbers.
 * Expand the article with as much materials as you can find. The sections are rather short at the moment.
 * The order of battle is a complicated question. I would format it as a table and give more information (numbers, commanders, etc.) for each unit.
 * The lead should be two/three full paragraphs.
 * More pictures would be helpful. Are there any portraits of the people involved?
 * A map would be very nice.
