I'll review this either later this week or over the weekend. Hog Farm Talk 21:28, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
- Do any of the sources explain what exactly he did as an Indiana resident to campaign for Lincoln who was running for a congressional seat in Illinois? Was he going across state lines to speak to crowds?
- Presumably, although none of them explicitly say this except about the 1860 race. - G
- "William P. Dole, Lincoln's Commissioner of Indian Affairs" - is this the same William P. Dole as earlier?
- Yep. Shortened to just last name to make this clear. - G
- "Spofford noted that he "devoted a large portion of his time" to care for ill soldiers of the 119th Indiana Regiment in late September 1861," - I'm highly confused by this. The "119th Indiana Regiment" in the Civil War was the 7th Indiana Cavalry Regiment, which was not formed until 1863. Yes, the source indicates the 119th Indiana Regiment quoting Spofford, but I really do think Spofford had to be in error here and Carter just didn't catch it. I can't find any reference to an Indiana militia unit of the time known by the ordinal. It's possible this is simply an error for the 19th Indiana, but I just don't see how that source could be right. Wood actually has that he was giving services to members of the hospitalized 19th Indiana regiment in mid-1861, so I would imagine that that is the correct thing
- Ooh, good catch! I was unsure about that too, but I think you're right that it's the 19th in both instances. Corrected. - G
- "as an aide-de-camp, later achieving the rank of Colonel" - colonel should not be capitalized when using it in this fashion. Referring to Colonel Stephenson would be correct, but it would be "Stephenson was a colonel"
- Thank you, corrected. - G
- "He received a citation for his service at Gettysburg from General Abner Doubleday" - use Doubleday's precise rank of Major General (as supported by Wood) since "General" in current US military parlence refers to a specific four-star rank
- Fixed. - G
- "In either November 1881[27] or July 1883,[26]" - the citations for the varying date are flipped-flopped here. Wood actually supports the 1881 date and Carter the 1883 one
- Oops! Fixed. - G
- The body of the article never actually states that Spofford was his successor, only the infobox and an image caption
- Stated this explicitly, good catch. - G
I noted no issues with image licensing for GA review, although some things might need to be documented a bit better if this were to go to FAC. I have no concerns with source reliability. I conducted periodic spot-checks from Wood and Carter while reading through the article and noted no issues with except for the one minor reference placement issue noted above.
