# Talk:Wade's Missouri Battery

To the author: Thanks for writing this much-needed article! If you write more articles about Civil War artillery batteries, I suggest naming them like this: "Wade's Missouri Battery" because the state name is almost always included in orders of battle. I see that Virginia battery articles don't include the state name, but almost all Union batteries do. Djmaschek (talk) 02:45, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

Go on, I'll take a look at this one too. Harrias talk 10:49, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Prose
"..the battery would be engaged at the Battle of Pea Ridge." Wouldn't "was" work better than "would be" here?
Fixed.  Use of "would" is a really bad habit of mine
Dab "Army of the West" to Army of the West (1862).
Done
"..in what one historian has referred to as "wild disorder."" Do we know which historian? If so, name them.
Named.  Also adjusted for the fact that the reference was to a co-authored book, so it was two of them.
Remove the link to Guibor's Battery in Corinth, it was already linked earlier.
Removed
"In December, Captain Wade would be promoted.." Again, I'd prefer "was" to "would be".
Fixed
I'm confused about the first paragraph of the 1863 section. It finishes by saying "After Wade's death, Lieutenant Richard C. Walsh assumed command of the battery.", but this had already happened in the previous paragraph hadn't it?
Oops, removed the redundancy
Also, the penultimate sentence of that paragraph starts "Wade's battery was attached..": capitalise "Battery".
Fixed
Remove the link to John S. Bowen in 1863, it was already linked earlier.
Removed

Sourcing
All references are to reliable sources, and citations are consistently formatted in an appropriate style.
Again, a nice and neat article with little work needed to meet the GA criteria. Nice work. Harrias talk 12:29, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Cheers, passing this one too. Although, I've just noticed that this will take you back past me in the WikiCup! Harrias talk 20:36, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
