Comment: The sentence with the inline citation for ALT1 refers to the 8th Missouri Infantry Regiment; the 11th Missouri Infantry was known as the 8th Missouri Infantry at the time of the Battle of Helena

Overall: An interesting and well constructed article that is new enough, long enough and neutrally written. I'm taking the material and the hooks in good faith. My only comment is that I'm slightly uncomfortable with ALT1 because, as is rightly pointed out, it was not the 11th but the 8th Missouri that took part in the Battle of Helena. I know it's only a name change, but it technically isn't correct and could cause confusion. Perhaps it could be reworded along the lines of ALT1:... that the 8th Missouri Infantry, later renamed the 11th Missouri Infantry Regiment (Confederate), suffered 159 casualties at the Battle of Helena?

Hog Farm, Bermicourt: Hi. I came by looking for hooks to promote, and neither of these are particularly interesting. Perhaps:
That wording also gets around the 8 vs 11 issue. Sincerely, The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 06:09, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
That wording works for me if Bermicourt will review it. I've done a bunch of these regimental articles, and I'm honestly running out of interesting things to say about them. Hog Farm (talk) 14:27, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
I don't have a problem with that either. Let's go with ALT2 then. Bermicourt (talk) 17:04, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
Please add an inline cite for the Graveyard Hill fact. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 06:50, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
@Yoninah: I've added a citation after the sentence mentioning Graveyard Hill. Is the one after the 159 casualties sufficient in combination? Hog FarmBacon 13:33, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
@Hog Farm: thank you, but we also need a cite after the heavy casualties sentence. Yoninah (talk) 13:37, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
