Naval battles of the American Civil War
I am looking for suggestions for improving this article to B-class. Wild Wolf (talk) 20:40, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

To reach B class the article needs to provide, at a minimum, short summaries of the battles as well as some contextual information about the navies involved all supported by references to reliable sources. I'd suggest that the article's focus on battles is too narrow however - I'm amazed to see that Wikipedia doesn't have an Naval history of the American Civil War article, and creating such an article would allow the battles to be placed in the context of the war in general and would allow the blockade (which was by far the largest and most important part of the war at sea) to be better integrated into the article. There are any number of good sources you could draw on for such an article. Nick-D (talk) 11:02, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

In addition to what Nick-D stated this article needs a lot of work even for B class. I would recommend writting this from the perspective of a List and add the battles to a table. I would also add in a couple of images and as Nick stated more references and explanation of the Battles would be key. --Kumioko (talk) 17:12, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
