  • No DABs
  • Images appropriately licensed
  • John C. Pemberton order Brigadier General Ordered?
    • Fixed
  • and attempt to cut Williams's Canal across a meander of the river failed; the attempt was over by late June. Awkward
    • I have no idea what I was trying to accomplish there, I've rephrased the whole thing.
  • Suggest adding the numbers for McClernand's and Sherman's corps to make it easier to follow the map
    • Done
  • I gather that there's no detailed map covering the battle available?
    • I've been looking for a free one in old books and the LOC collections, but have not yet been able to find one. The American Battlefield Trust as a good one, but it's only free for noncommercial use so not usable here. Everything else I've seen in copyrighted.
  • Once you've introduced a unit with its full name, suggest that you drop the type and size unless there are multiple units with the same number. Forex 7th Texas Infantry Reg't becomes the 7th Texas.
    •   Partially implemented - I think I've caught all of these with two exceptions - I used the more complex "10th and 30th Tennessee (Consolidated)" so it's always clear that that's a single unit, and I stuck with "1st Tennessee Battalion" to indicate that it is of a different size than the others.
      • Those are properly left alone, I agree.
  • How big was the force at Jackson?
    • Added.
  • were sued for agricultural used?
    • Oops. Corrected.
  • Nicely done.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 01:52, 15 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
