I recently did a rewrite and added substantial sourcing to this article; since then, it has been named a good article, and I would like to submit it for featured status in the near future. The GA reviewer felt it was a pretty good package as it stands, and I've not really come up with any other ideas at this point. So, I would appreciate any comments that might be forthcoming about ways to improve towards the eventual goal of reaching Featured status. Are there any additions that would be beneficial? Any sections that might need improvement? Thanks in advance for any comments. Tony Fox (arf!) 05:05, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Looks good, I commend you for your effort to rewrite the article. A couple things though:
- See if you can do some wiki-linking; words like feint, terms like pack ice, and military units like the 43rd and 47th Foot regiments should have articles here; if they don't then the red links may encourage editors to create the articles.
- I saw a few things that looked suspicious to me, so I added a pair of ((fact)) tags to the article. Nothing against you, I know that reading the material makes one familar with it, but I would like to no where to dreadge up the information :)
- See about condensing the references section by combine citations that go to the exact same source; among other things, this helps streamline the article which reduces the article's size.
- Lastly, can you provide a translation for the French terms? I am fairly confident they are simple and straight forward, but 14 years on the US-Mexico board has taught me to ask instead of guess, lest you get it wrong.
Overall though, I'd say it definately has potential. Well done! TomStar81 (Talk) 05:29, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for the comments; I've gone through and worked through your suggestions. Thanks for pointing out the sourcing issues; I found a new source for one spot, and combined two paragraphs into one, as they were both from the reference that was in the second graf. I hope that works! I've also Wikilinked one of the regiments involved in the fighting, as it does have some references that I can work with down the road. I'll take a look at the other regiments and see if there's enough there to create something (and figure out the best way to name them). As for the French terms, I know enough French to order poutine and that's about it. There are no really major French phrases, and I did link one that I noticed, so hopefully that helps. Thanks again for the comments! Tony Fox (arf!) 03:46, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
