Current status: Good article |
These are some suggestions to improve your article to GA class (most of them are based on comments made by other reviewers for an article I nominated to GA):
* "He was ordered to North Carolina in 1865, and was planning an expedition up the Roanoke river to co-operate with the army of the James, when Lee surrendered." It is recommended to avoid one-sentence paragraphs. (you can merge it with the following paragraph, if you like)
Later on a more experienced user might give you more suggestions, or may rate your article. Dalobuca 00:18, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
There are a few issues with this article. It goes into extraordinary (unnecessary) detail at times- This quote "He made the journey to California by way of New Orleans and Texas, passing through Mexico from the Rio Grande to Mazatlan on the Pacific, crossing the Cordilleras on mule back, and returning in 1852 by way of Panama, with dispatches for the government." was the most egregious example.
Otherwise, though, the article had a lot of useful information on his background, although I note that there are a few controversial statements that are uncited:
"He was ordered to North Carolina in 1865, and was planning an expedition up the Roanoke river to co-operate with the army of the James, when Lee surrendered."
"In the Battle of South Mountain he led the assault which drove the enemy from the summit; and at midnight of that day he received an order placing him in command of a brigade." I also note that there are a few red links that need to be delinked. When you have gone over the article and fixed these mistakes, (note that these were not the only errors) leave a message on my talk page and I'll rereview it! ErleGrey 23:02, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
All of the concerns I had with this article originally have now been fixed. Good job, by the way. ErleGrey ( talk) 20:03, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force. I realise that it was only recently listed as a GA, but for the sake of completeness I have completed the reassessment anyway ;) I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. The article history has been updated to reflect this review. Regards, EyeSerene TALK 10:49, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
