New Mexico Campaign
I've been trying to get this article up to B-class and was wondering what else would be needed for this. Wild Wolf (talk) 14:41, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Seems pretty good to me. You should improve the density/coverage of citations. Expand the lead section to be 3-4 paragraphs that summarize the main points of the article. And the dates in the lead section and infobox do not match. Hal Jespersen (talk) 00:58, 22 December 2008 (UTC)


 * How is the article now? Enough citations? Wild Wolf (talk) 12:31, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Looks good. Hal Jespersen (talk) 14:52, 5 January 2009 (UTC)


 * So upgrade to B-class now? Wild Wolf (talk) 00:01, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

I generally do not participate in article classification, so I do not know what the procedure is for approving the upgrade. (I am always willing to help review articles, but I do this informally, not part of the formal structure.) Hal Jespersen (talk) 18:44, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Some points:
 * The aftermath section needs citing and probably expanding given the size of the article. What happened politically, expand a bit more for those people not knowledgable on the American Civil War
 * I would completely remove the Popular culture section, it is uncited and adds nothing to the article.
 * The last paragraph in the lead is not covered in the article, perhaps expand on it in the aftermath section.
 * What were the casualties on the Union side?
 * Some of the prose is very choppy in places, it needs a good copyedit.
 * It needs some more citations in places. There are some "contentious" statements which need citing.
 * That is it for now, regards. Woody (talk) 20:55, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
