Battle of Marion
I am wondering what needs work before this is promoted to A-class. Ṝ ed  M arkV iolinist Drop me a line 18:33, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

First off, some things about citations and referencing:
 * The footnotes should simply be formatted (Last Name, p. #). The year of publication only matters if there are multiple books by that author.
 * "National Parks Service" is an iffy ref. At the very least, it requires a web-link. ✅ -- Added url.
 * The "Mosgrove" ref needs a page #
 * "pg" should be "p" in all situations
 * I've gone through and fact-bombed the article. The quotes in particular are in need of stronger referencing
 * the websites in the "references" section should instead be incorporated directly into the footnotes section, as is done here.
 * Alright, that's better, but now they need to be combined back into a single ref using the same "ref-name=" format as the other refs. Cam (Chat) 23:39, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Second off, some things about prose:
 * The prose could use a general copyedit (which I am in the gradual process of doing;). Of particular note:
 * "and the salt works were destroyed by the Union forces.[22]" - were there multiple salt-works? If so, then this is correct.  If not, it isn't.
 * --Salt Works (plural) Ṝ ed  M arkV iolinist Drop me a line 22:01, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Alright, that clarifies things. Cam (Chat) 23:39, 17 December 2008 (UTC)


 * There's a lot of unnecessary wordiness & link-words that can be eliminated.
 * Removed unneeded links and a few words. Ṝ ed  M arkV iolinist Drop me a line 22:01, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Thirdly, some things about content:
 * The "Background" section could use some expansion, particularly in examining the previous campaigns.
 * better. Cam (Chat) 17:52, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

All the best, Cam (Chat) 01:51, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * One other thing, it's generally considered poor form to strike another reviewer's comments. Cam (Chat) 23:39, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
