Fort Kearny (Washington D.C.)

This is an article typical of the ones I've been creating for American Civil War forts that protected Washington, D.C. during that war. I've created a template box, and I'm in the process of creating articles for each of the major forts. As this article is typical of the ones I've been creating, I'd appreciate feedback in regards to style and content, and anything else that comes to mind. Thanks!

I performed a light edit for format, links, etc. Nice job overall. My only remaining comment would be that your citations to historical letters needs to identify the secondary source(s) where they can be found. I am guessing that they came from the Official Records, but you need to state the volumes, pages, etc. in the footnotes. Hal Jespersen 01:44, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

~~Actually, they came from a National Park Service website. What's the correct way to indicate that in the citation?~~ JKBrooks85 19:34, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed! I also added a section detailing the decommissioning of the fort and added a fortification infobox. JKBrooks85 02:02, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Very good overall. I've taken two looks at this now and the only thing I can think of is whether there are other sources available - anything not from the official records? Might widen the coverage a little. Cheers Buckshot06 12:54, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I'll dig around and see what I can find. Unfortunately, I don't have access to a research library where I live, so everything comes via loan, and it's not a quick process. JKBrooks85 22:53, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
