I'll take a look at this. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 21:48, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

Prelim

• Union blockade duplicated in the lede
  • Fixed
• Image correctly licensed
• Article is stable
• Earwig reports copyvio unlikely

Lede and infobox

• Add |Ship type=Gunboat
  • Done
• Either introduce the ship type for every ship in the lede, or do it for none
  • Should be standardized now
• "inactivated" - either "inactive" or "deactivated"
  • Changed
• "She continued service in the Savannah are in 1864" something missing here
  • A spelling error; "are" should have been "area"
• "covered the Confederate retreat from the city" sentence doesn't say what covered the retreat
  • Fixed
• Scuttling and "Burned to prevent capture" are not the same thing
  • Have reworded both here and later in the article
• Suggest formatting the armament as * 1 × Dahlgren gun<br/>* 1 × Brooke rifle
  • Done

Design

• Main text doesn't actually mention the ACW directly
  • Done
• Do we know Maury's rank?
  • Added, although I had to use a different source than Canney, who apparently never references Maury by rank
• Link Confederate States Navy
  • It was linked earlier on Confederate in a kind of MOS:EGG-gy way, so I've cleaned up the linking there
• Give Chattahoochee her ship type
  • Done, and have added a page to the cited page range for where this info came from
• "considers the use of more secure fastening to be significant" in what way?
  • I've rephrased this fairly thoroughly
• "and the request davits" doesn't make sense
  • A failed attempt at "requisite", fixed
• "Her draft was completed was 6 feet 6 inches" sp
  • fixed
• Introduce who Porter is
  • Done (CSA naval constructor)

Construction and service

• Link launched
  • Done
• "March 19, 1863" repeated year
  • Fixed
• "and after waiting for days"
  • Done
• Give the ship types for Savannah and Sampson
  • Added - I've gone with gunboat and receiving ship, which was the roles the two generally served.
• "which moved downstream"
  • Done
• "desparate" is this a sp?
  • I checked Browning, and this is a spelling error on my part
• "helsman" sp
  • Ugh. Fixed. I blame the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education for my spelling issues
• "returning Kennard" Kennard isn't a ship!
  • I cannot fathom why I would have italicized that
• Why were men being transferred to Charleston?
  • added - Union forces were attacking the city
• "Charleton" sp
  • oops, fixed
• What was Armstrong's rank?
  • Added, Lt.
• "Causten's Bluff is circled in red in the upper right." upper left?
  • Fixed, and have also fixed the spelling issue of "Causten" vs "Causton"
• "Permament command of Isondiga was Lieutenant Hamilton Dalton." something missing here
  • Rephrased
• Give Sherman's rank, ibid Hardee
  • Added, although I had to plug in Browning to support the exact ranks
• "On December 13, Fort McAllister was captured by Union forces." need some context as to why this is relevant
  • Have expanded on this a bit
• "On December 18, Hunter ordered"?
  • Fixed
• Give Firefly her ship type
  • Added

References

• "The South Atlatnic Blockding Squadron" sp
