Javascript review

The following suggestions were generated with the aid of a semi-automatic javascript program.

• Please expand the lead to conform with guidelines at Wikipedia:Lead. The lead should have an appropriate number of paragraphs, and adequately summarize the article as a whole.^[?]
• You may wish to consider adding an appropriate infobox for this article. Though not all editors like them.^[?]
• Please consider adding {{persondata|PLEASE SEE [[WP:PDATA]]!}} along with the required parameters to the article - see Wikipedia:Persondata for more information.^[?]
• Per Wikipedia:Context, Wikipedia:Build the web and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Autoformatting and linking, years with full dates should be linked; for example, if January 15, 2006 appeared in the article, link it as January 15, 2006.^[?]
• Headings generally do not start with articles ('the', 'a(n)'). For example, if there was a section called ==The Biography==, it could be changed to ==Biography==.^[?]
• There are a few occurrences of weasel words in this article-please observe WP:AWT. Certain phrases should specify exactly who supports, considers, believes, etc., such a view.
  • This battle is considered a Union victory
  • might be weasel words, and should be provided with proper citations.^[?]
• This article needs footnotes, so that readers can see from where particular information is taken. See WP:CITE for an in depth guide.^[?]
• Watch for redundancies that make the article too wordy instead of being crisp and concise. (You may wish to try Tony1's redundancy exercises.)
  • Vague terms of size often are unnecessary and redundant - “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”. For example, “All pigs are pink, so we thought of a number of ways to turn them green.”
• I would recommend merging the "Death" and "Legacy" sections, as very short sections are generally deprecated.
