A Confederate ship: you don't see many of these at GANR. Hog Farm Bacon 01:24, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
- Maybe mention in the lead where she was captured
- "She proved to be too heavy to be on January 1, 1864" - Proved to heavy to be what?
- Mention the rename to Jackson in the lead, it seems odd to refer to it as Jackson in the infobox caption, but not mention the name change in the lead
- Seems like it would make more sense to use the single-cylinder horizontal engines in the infobox, not the direct-action engines, since the single-cylinder engines were the ones it actually used, and the others seem to have been replaced during construction
- While a laid down date of 1862 is cited in the prose, the infobox gives the more specific December 1862, the month needs removed or cited
- That see also link doesn't seem to be incredibly relevant, maybe List of ships of the Confederate States Navy instead?
- I agree, but the bibliography was created by another editor who was most insistent on it being retained. Ultimately, it wasn't worth the fight. The list you mention is part of the ironclad warships navbox
- Ref 1 is dead for me, although it's not a 404, so it may be a temporary issue. Does it work for you?
- Oddly it worked if you clicked its number from the infobox, but I've updated the link itself
- Ref 3 the publisher should be National Civil War Naval Museum, not "Events and Exhibits"
- Remove "Events and Exhibits" from ref 11, it's neither the website nor the publisher
- Ref 12 is a 404 dead link to me, it'll need archived since 404s are permanent deadlinks
- It must have aged off the website.
- NRHP listed date needs cited
- It's on the NRHP? That's fairly significant for the remains of a ship. That should be mentioned in the prose and in the lead as well. Don't just relegate that to the infobox.
- The lead states that Union troops burned her, but that's not explicit in the body. From reading the body, I would have assumed the Confederates burned it as they abandoned the city, which was a pretty common event in '65
Overall, good work. I'm probably pickier on ACW articles than with anything else, simply because I've very familiar with that subject matter. Hog Farm Bacon 01:47, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
- It's all good. I'm the exact same way with ship articles.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 14:43, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
