An important topic; review to follow shortly. Anaxial (talk) 11:01, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article is generally well-written and laid out properly, and seems to cover all of the important features of the battle. There are a few problems that I think need addressing, all of which should be able to fixed within one week:

  • Some copyediting is needed in the first paragraph of the "Battle" section.
  • The link to Prophetstown in the last paragraph of the "Battle" section points to a disambiguation page.
  • The Curse of Tippecanoe is already mentioned and linked to in the text, and so does not need repeating in the "See Also" section.
  • The direct quote from Harrison about Spencer's death should be more clearly sourced.
  • Not a major problem, but the title "References" is generally preferred instead of "Sources", unless one is actually talking about source code or the sources of rivers, or whatever.
  • The second External Link is broken.
Thank you for your review! I Believe i have addressed each of the issues. Please let me know if there is anything more. Charles Edward (Talk) 19:04, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That all looks fine to me. Well done!
