Advice on page length

edit

Hello @Kges1901: - I'm working on an article about the Third Battle of Winchester, and plan to get it up to GA. I have a draft in my User:TwoScars/sandbox that is 97,363 bytes long (on March 10). This battle was very important in the American Civil War—and it is complicated by fighting on multiple fronts. I'm still working on it. My question: Is 97,363 bytes too long? I could shorten it by getting rid of some of detail about brigades, especially for the infantry. What size is the ideal size for a battle like this? I also put the various times in bold, mostly to help me out when organizing. Should the times be unbolded? I could also eliminate some images such as Maj Gen Gordon, Ricketts advances, Col Edwards, and Br Gen Upton. Any advice? TwoScars (talk) 19:19, 10 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Question

edit

Hello Kges, I noticed you have edited much the past month since you reverted the delete/merge of Lance Edward Massey. The reason I ask is I was wondering if you were planning on making any more improvements to the page. It's currently at AfD, been there for awhile and is likely to close soon. Just thought you should know while you still had the opportunity to edit or !vote... or both. Cheers - wolf 07:18, 28 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
