Improved to Good Article status by Hog Farm (talk). Self-nominated at 16:49, 12 October 2020 (UTC).
Hi Hog Farm, review follows: article promoted to GA on 12 October; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't notice any overly close paraphrasing from the sources I could access; both hooks are mentioned in the article; ALT0 is verified by the NPS source; the "Official Records 1883" source only states that the fog was present during the retreat at the end of the battle, though the fog at the start of the battle is mentioned in the article, I am happy to AGF that this is supported by Lothrop 1890 and/or Jaques 2007; hooks are both interesting enough for me, my slight preference is for ALT0; a QPQ has been carried out - Dumelow (talk) 14:32, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
