Massachusetts in the American Civil War
Looking to nominate this one for either GA or A class, not quite sure yet. Any help, suggestions, etc. with the article would be much appreciate. I expanded this article significantly as part of the American Civil War Task Force to-do list. Thanks! Historical Perspective (talk) 12:15, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Just a few comments from me:
 * the images could have Alt text per WP:ALT;
 * quotation marks should be straight, not curly per WP:MOS (there is an example in the Minutemen of 61 section);
 * last sentence of the first paragraph of the Antebellum section needs a citation;
 * last part of 54th Massachusettes Infantry section needs a citation;
 * last paragraph of General Officers section needs a citation.

Otherwise looks pretty good to me. Well done. Cheers. — AustralianRupert (talk) 23:27, 5 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks very much. I appreciate your help (not just on this one, but on several articles).  I've made the following changes:
 * The alt text was in there, but I had the syntax wrong. Silly mistake.  I've fixed it.
 * Got the quotes. Time for a tangent: first time I heard somebody refer to "dumb" quotation marks (straight) vs. "smart" quotation marks (curled), was a copy editor working on a publication I had written who told me to "take out all the dumb quotes."  I was very insulted for a moment until I realized what he was talking about. :)
 * Inserted citations in the places you noted.
