Free time, will and Google can bring a good article. I have only missed the references but I will upload them next time. --AndresArce 17:08, 23 April 2006 (UTC)AndresArceReply

I think WP:MOS and some basic references on English grammar and punctuation will be needed as well. I would volunteer to do some clean up, but I'd like to evaluate your references before undertaking such a task. It is worded so oddly in places ("Fastly, his professional skills shined", "Though, the stirred atmosphere was about to detonate definitively", "being Bartow its absolute winner additionally" -- was this auto-translated from some other language?) that I wonder if all copyright permissions have been obtained for this work. Simply because text is available via Google does not give us permission to use it directly. Hal Jespersen 20:50, 23 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Well, it was a long job, dear Hlj|Hal Jespersen. It wasn´t cut/pasted from other site. It was a large resume of all the information which is available via Internet. I´m well aware about the copyright-issues. So, I moved around many times at any finally written idea. LOL. Nonetheless, I will learn so much for sure from your welcomed copy-edit. Anytime. --AndresArce 13:10, 30 April 2006 (UTC)AndresArceReply

I'll put it on my to-do list. It will take a significant amount of work to bring the formatting and language up to Wikipedia biography standards and I have a lot of other articles needing attention that interest me more than Bartow. I do not normally comment on the quality of others' work, so forgive me, but your original statement bragging about how it was a good article set me off. People in the American Civil War editing community would normally say "Hey, I wrote an article. Comments welcome." (if they say anything at all, which they usually do not).

Does anyone else think this lacks citations in certain areas? Particularly in the section about the American civil war I see whole paragraphs without citations that really should have them. ThatGuyFromJersey (talk) 00:21, 3 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
