Lede and infobox

edit
  • Infobox missing ship country
    • Done
  • Lede should probably mention that she was purchased by the Union
    • Added
  • For the type in infobox, would "Tinclad sternwheel steamer" work better?
    • Rearranged
  • Link long tons
    • Removed, as none of the sources specify which measure of tonnage was used

Construction and characteristics

edit
  • "were intended to have light drafts" were intended? Did they not already have their small drafts before the purchase?
    • Rephrased
  • Give Porter his rank
    • Added
  • "The process of converting Glide"
    • Done
  • Stipulate long tons as in infobox
    • See above

Service history

edit
  • Link flotilla
    • Linked
  • "part of a naval force" makes it sound like this force differs to the aforementioned Watson Smith flotilla?
    • Reworded a bit - not all of the Watson Smith flotilla was actually involved in the shelling of the fort
  • Link batteries - can you stipulate where these batteries were?
    • Clarified
  • Why is Glide trying to fire into the rear of the fort after it has been captured?
    • Rearranged this sentence
  • Link ashpan
    • Linked
  • Suggest moving the sentence on the origin of the fire to after Glide has finished burning
    • Moved
  • DANFS has the fire starting in the forward part of the ship, which could be added for a little detail
    • Added
  • Give the second Glide her USS
    • Done

References

edit
  • References look good, AGF for print sources
