I'll grab this one.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:37, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Images appropriately licensed
Any pictures of the battlefield available?
Not really. The site where Siber's men first encountered Loring is the back of a Walmart. There are some drawings (in a recent book) that I have not been able to find elsewhere. There was a Fort Scammon in Fayetteville, which is not Wikipedia's Fort Scammon in Charleston. I put the Narrows and Gauley Bridge images in to give the reader somewhat of an idea of the appearance of the countryside. TwoScars (talk) 16:38, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
In the Aftermath section, it already says "Today, the battlefield at Fayetteville is now covered by a modern town.[92] Fayetteville has historical markers commemorating the 1862 battle and a second battle that occurred in 1863." I'm going to drop the "now", since the sentence begins with "Today". TwoScars (talk) 20:53, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
Ranks are only used on first appearance for each individual
Will fix (after lunch). As info, I have had reviewers that were not familiar with the Civil War complain that they got confused, and they asked that I restate ranks, names and allegiance in new sections. TwoScars (talk) 16:55, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
Fixed. TwoScars (talk) 15:23, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
Once an individual's allegiance is established, there's no need to repeat it
Fixed. TwoScars (talk) 15:23, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
to form a junction with awkward, rephrase
Changed to "...and then move northeast to join forces with more Confederate soldiers in the...."
Union Army should be capitalized as it's a proper name
Changed to Union Army in three places including section header. Changed "Confederate army" to "Confederate Army" in four places. TwoScars (talk) 16:47, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
on the pike use a synonym for variety's sake
Changed to "on the road". TwoScars (talk) 16:50, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
More later--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 01:35, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
I will be out of the office Monday March 18—probably most of Tuesday too. TwoScars (talk) 21:23, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
Lightburn's two brigades escaped from Charleston Suggest "His forces escaped..."
Made change. TwoScars (talk) 18:35, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
from the Bryan's Delete "the"
Removed "the" TwoScars (talk) 18:37, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
Use Lowry's first name when you mention him in the last paragraph
Inserted "Terry" in front of "Lowry's research...."
Be sure to capitalize Infantry when you mention the specific Ohio regiments--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 13:45, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
Looks like you already fixed that one. Looks like "Infantry" is now capitalized everywhere except "several companies of infantry" and "Union infantry arriving". TwoScars (talk) 18:46, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
Check the notes--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:01, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
Made changes in final paragraph and note - capitalize "infantries", made some changes related to the mention of Historian Terry Lowry. TwoScars (talk) 01:59, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
@Sturmvogel 66: I'm back in my office and I believe caught up. TwoScars (talk) 18:48, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
