I'll get to this shortly.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 13:50, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • No DABs, images appropriately licensed
  • Proportions look a bit off on the Confederate Battle Flag
    • Tried to fix this. I think the problem is that the battle flag and the MSG flag are slightly different shapes
  • Tabbed?
    • Changed to selected. Tabbed is informal dialectal English
  • Bledsoe's Battery formed "was positioned"?
    • Done
  • Dry Wood Creek wound, wound "from" Dry Wood Creek
    • Done
  • artillery duel Battery I and Battery K missing word?
    • Added
  • Mix up cannon, guns and artillery pieces
    • Done, where one was used in closish proximity
  • No article on the Battle of Raymond? Or more detailed information?
    • I'm confused here. I have Raymond linked in the lead and the prose, and there's five or six sentences on Raymond. Do I need to try to dredge up more on this battle?
  • Sometimes you should characterize battles as either victories or defeats to help explain movements. Forex the opening of the 2nd para of the 1863 section should read "After the defeat at Jackson". This is not always necessary.
    • Done this with Carthage, Jackson, Chickamauga, Resaca. I feel like most of the others are obvious, based on which army was repulsed/retreated.
  • Clarify that the guns issued after the Battle of Jackson replaced the remaining original guns.
    • Done
  • losing all four cannons to capture awkward
    • Done
  • Suggest you replace the long list of individual battles in the infobox with the various campaigns.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 08:58, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
