  • IDK if this meets the interestingness requirement, don't militaries traditionally train people in skills they don't have to begin with?
    • @Buidhe: - The author treats it as unusual, although I can see where your concern is coming from to. Would it be better for me to hammer out a hook related to the boat carrying them home sinking? Hog Farm Talk 00:02, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
Drive-by comment, but I suppose that one could work. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:58, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi Hog Farm, another excellently written American Civil War article. Review: article moved to mainspace on 9 October and far exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; the sources are almost entirely offline, for which I am happy to AGF there is no overly close paraphrasing from; ALT1 is interesting, mentioned in the article and checks out to the source cited; image is fine at this scale and appropriately licensed; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks good to go - Dumelow (talk) 09:26, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
