Fort Bayard (Washington, D.C.)

This article covers Fort Bayard, a fort constructed during the American Civil War as part of the defenses of Washington, D.C. I'm currently undertaking a project to create a page for every one of the 60+ forts that protected Washington during the war, and I'm sure this article is worthy of A-Class status. A similar article was raised to A-Class level last month, and Fort Bayard is easily the equal of that article (Fort Stanton (Washington, D.C.)). If there are any problems with the article or the format, please let me know and I will fix them and avoid repeating them in future articles. Thank you for your time.

• Support good work but i'd like to see all red links in blue ;) -- FayssalF - ^{Wiki me up®} 17:06, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Heh. So would I... but I suppose that since you did all that wikification in the article, the least I can do is create a few stubs for the Union officers. The forts in red will be wikified as part of the ongoing project to create entries for every fort defending Washington. Thanks for your help and your support.

Yeah, i knew that. I'll try to create other stubs while you'd be creating those of forts. - FayssalF - ^{Wiki me up®} 01:50, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

• Weak Support Make sure that you don't start sentences with numbers, spell the given number out. More imprtantly, your notes should be configued in a consistant style. TomStar81 (Talk) 06:57, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Fixed the sentence that began with a number and standardized the citations and put them into two columns. JKBrooks85 15:18, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

• Support Its A-class now. Thanks for the swift response. TomStar81 (Talk) 17:18, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

If you're willing to give the input, I'm willing to make the changes as quickly as possible. Thanks for the tips. They'll be applied to future articles as well. JKBrooks85 17:55, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

• Support. Nice work. Just one suggestion, though, that you add citations to the couple of paragraphs in the "Planning and construction" section that currently lack citations. Cla68 03:59, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Fixed — I added citations for the paragraphs that lacked them, both in the Planning and Construction section and in the Wartime Use section. I also added accessed dates to the website citations. Thanks for the help! JKBrooks85 16:02, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
