I saw this page get moved to Uniforms of the Confederate military to better comply with the naming policy, but I believe to should be Uniforms of the Confederate States military forces, or better yet the usage found in the CSA's constitution, in the OR's, or another such source. Any thoughts? Kresock ( talk) 23:47, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
Note: Because the GA nomination was withdrawn, I am not placing a failed GA template on this page, as the article did not fail a GA review. I hope that my suggestions will be of use in future improvements to this article. Best wishes, GaryColemanFan ( talk) 14:20, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
This article could use a good copyedit and some sourcing. Many sections are unsourced, and there are writing problems evident throughout the article. A few examples will suffice for now:
The liberty rifles have done a lot of general research on this topic and can sourced as evidence for the presence of "uniformed appearance" in their "INTERPRETING RICHMOND DEPOT CLOTHING FROM A MATERIAL CULTURE PARADIGM" which has general lawton's report to congress mention the well uniformed natured of Confederate forces in Feburary 1865 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Asetpath ( talk • contribs) 18:48, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
I'm going to stop there, as this should be sufficient to get a sense of what needs to be fixed. On top of this, there also seems to be a shortage of information. Many sections are very brief, so the article has very little detail. Although the lead section is supposed to be a summary of the article, little of what is mentioned in the lead is repeated later in the article (detail on these topics would be helpful, as they sound interesting and would make this more of an article and less of a list).
I am going to put this nomination on hold to allow for these concerns to be addressed and/or discussed. Any questions and/or comments can be left here, as I have placed this page on my watchlist. Please note that this is not a comprehensive list of what needs to be done for GA status but rather an indication of the direction the article needs to go. Best wishes, GaryColemanFan ( talk) 04:00, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
The article is still in need of a copyedit and more detail. The list above was not a complete list of every problem with the article, but more to show what sorts of problems exist. I recommend adding to the information and then seeking an editor who has not worked on this article to perform a thorough copyedit. GaryColemanFan ( talk) 20:40, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Further comment: Good work so far, but there are still a number of grammatical errors (for example, in the first and last sentences of the first "Overview" paragraph) and clumsy phrasing, and some of the other problems still need to be addressed. Looks like you'll get this fixed, though!
