23rd Virginia Infantry Battalion

Improved to Good Article status by TwoScars (talk). Nominated by Onegreatjoke (talk) at 04:11, 23 May 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/23rd Virginia Infantry Battalion; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

  • Article length is fine. Submission was same day as GA approved and entered on talk page. No copyvio or plagiarism concerns. Earwig review shows copyright violation unlikely. Also, highest percentage hit is actually a public domain source. Reliable sources are used. Twenty-six references including several well known, reliable historians and Official Records of War of the Rebellion. Article is neutral. There is no picture for the nomination. Hook is properly supported in the sentence in which it appears by citation to an official record in the National Archives. Link to reference was checked for this review. Well written, comprehensive article about an American Civil War unit. Hook is short and in proper format. It is interesting in raising curiosity about size of unit and showing the attrition in a unit as the war progressed. Donner60 (talk) 20:12, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
