Talk:Battle of Stillman's Run

message: This is a great article, but it contains a few inexact statements that I'll take the liberty of correcting as soon as I find the time. Nevertheless, I think it is important to hear the feedback of anyone interested in the subject.
It is stated here that Black Hawk had the compromise of other tribes and the British to help him in his endeavor. Yet, every source I've consulted concur to say that both promises were either exaggerated or plain lies of his advisors, Neapope and the Winnebago prophet White Cloud. If I (and thus the sources I've been able to access) are wrong, please, let me know. Thanks, Phaedriel 22:34, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Old comment

message: The exact details of the encounter between Black Hawk's envoy and Stillman's militia is not historically clear. There are several reputable versions of the encounter, and this article only provides one point of view.
Some don't include the present of a second Sauk group, some say Stillman's militia had an interpreter, some believe the militia men were drunk. etc.
Consider adding a section mentioning the conflicting history.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.148.10.122 (talk) 04:04, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: casualties

message: Hi there, nice article, I have a couple of points for you to address before I pass this piece, but it shouldn't be a problem for you. Nice work.
*General points
*The article suffers from over use of commas which break up the text and make it harder to read. Consider reading through and removing a few. If you want help with this then let me know.
:*I am working on this, however, some of the changes in wording that would be necessary to remove some commas would affect the accuracy of the article. If you see any that can be reworked please do so, I have went through the lead and prelude sections (divided the prelude into background and prelude per WP:MILHIST. Many of the commas I saw were serial commas which can stay or go either way, it doesn't matter to me. IvoShandor 20:04, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: *These points have been addressed, though I would note that the battle did not begin until after the militia pursued the Sauk back to their camp. Black Hawk was attempting to negotiate a truce.IvoShandor 19:36, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

text: *This, in general, isn't clear. There is little more I can do to clarify other than say it is unclear. IvoShandor 19:27, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: *I tried to clarify this a bit in the lead. Reliable sources are hard to come by on this contentious point. Obviously, many of the parties involved in investigating such a claim have a vested interest in the outcome. IvoShandor 19:38, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

text: *This should be clear now that it was via a treaty. IvoShandor 19:36, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

text: *Should have read Reynold's hand and not Atkinson's. Too many names to keep clear, hopefully this makes sense now. IvoShandor 19:45, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

text: *I will unlink Cass as I don't know who Hull is, and reading over the MOS it appears links are undesirable in quotations. IvoShandor 19:27, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: *All wikilinks in quotations removed. IvoShandor 19:46, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I like what you've done with the article and well done on addressing my comments, I'll be happy to pass this when you are done (drop me a line).--Jackyd101 01:15, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I reckon this article is GA quality and I'll pass it. If there is anything from above not yet done (I can't see anything but just in case) then you can finish it afterwards, theres nothing important enough to hold this back. --Jackyd101 00:00, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: GA review

message: As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the requirements of the GA criteria. I'm specifically going over all of the "Conflicts, battles and military exercises" articles. I made several corrections myself throughout the article. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have edited the article history to reflect this review. Happy editing! --Nehrams2020 06:36, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
