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

Prelim

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

Lede and infobox

[edit]
  • 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

[edit]
  • 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

[edit]
  • 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
  • "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

[edit]
  • "The South Atlatnic Blockding Squadron" sp
    • Done
  • References otherwise look good.
