Improved to Good Article status by Hog Farm (talk) and Zawed (talk). Nominated by Onegreatjoke (talk) at 18:15, 5 May 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Battle of Plum Point Bend; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

Article is long enough and was recently promoted to GA status. Article is well-sourced and neutrally written. Hook is interesting, short enough, and sourced with in-line citations. Source is off-line but accuracy is assumed in good faith. QPQ completed. Cbl62 (talk) 08:26, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

@Hog Farm, Onegreatjoke, Zawed, and Cbl62: My only question is whether the description needs quotes since it was stated by an individual. I am going to promote the hook but we can add the quotes later if needed. Bruxton (talk) 13:38, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
