Go on, I'll take a look at this one too. Harrias talk 10:49, 4 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Prose
  • "..the battery would be engaged at the Battle of Pea Ridge." Wouldn't "was" work better than "would be" here?
    • Fixed. Use of "would" is a really bad habit of mine
  • Dab "Army of the West" to Army of the West (1862).
    • Done
  • "..in what one historian has referred to as "wild disorder."" Do we know which historian? If so, name them.
    • Named. Also adjusted for the fact that the reference was to a co-authored book, so it was two of them.
  • Remove the link to Guibor's Battery in Corinth, it was already linked earlier.
    • Removed
  • "In December, Captain Wade would be promoted.." Again, I'd prefer "was" to "would be".
    • Fixed
  • I'm confused about the first paragraph of the 1863 section. It finishes by saying "After Wade's death, Lieutenant Richard C. Walsh assumed command of the battery.", but this had already happened in the previous paragraph hadn't it?
    • Oops, removed the redundancy
  • Also, the penultimate sentence of that paragraph starts "Wade's battery was attached..": capitalise "Battery".
    • Fixed
  • Remove the link to John S. Bowen in 1863, it was already linked earlier.
    • Removed
Images
  • Both images are appropriately captioned and licensed.
Sourcing
  • All references are to reliable sources, and citations are consistently formatted in an appropriate style.

Again, a nice and neat article with little work needed to meet the GA criteria. Nice work. Harrias talk 12:29, 4 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
