  • Section 1;
    • army's commander was replaced by General Jacob Dolson Cox; Who was the previous commander? Any reason for the change? or it is general?
      • Fixed. No reads "During September 1862, the Union army was forced to retreat from Western Virginia (the Kanawha River Valley) to Ohio by the Confederate army. This retreat was "embarrassing to the government". The army's commander, Colonel Joseph Andrew Jackson Lightburn, was replaced by General Jacob Dolson Cox, who reorganized the troops. During late October, Cox and the troops advanced to the Kanawha River Valley against no resistance. They made winter quarters in Charleston, as it was easier to be resupplied because of the river.

    • where it was easier to be resupplied -> as it was easier to be resupplied
    • November 23, 1862; just November 23. Per MOS:DATEVAR
    • Link George Crook
    • Prefix Crook's rank in the quote box.
      • What does that mean? His order did not list his rank, it just said "George Crook, Commanding Kanawha Division". Insert [Brigadier General] into the quote box?
    • Abbreviate units from second mention. For example, 2 miles (3.2 km), use |abbr=on
More to come. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 14:51, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I believe I am all caught up except the issue with the quote box. Right now, the box has Crook's order exactly as he made it, including identifying Colonel Lane as "P.H. Lane" instead of "P.P. Lane". It is also signed the same way as the order, without Crook's rank. Do you still believe it should be changed? TwoScars (talk) 17:35, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It looks good, no need to change. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 03:56, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
