Suggested improvements
editHello, Dofftoubab;
b1: There are sufficient citations, but in differing styles. Use a consistent citation style. Suggest changing section header to Sources or Citations. And where is your actual Reference section?
b2: You could beef up your scanty direct material on the fort with information that bears indirectly on the fort. For instance, a Background section topping the body of the text as a leadin could be used to frame the role of the fort in the Creek War and/or The War of 1812. Or maybe you can come with some other supplemental material.
I would like to add that I think you did a nice job with graphics, and that the writing is easily understood and concise.
I'm sorry if I seem hard on you. It's just that this article is borderline. Let's push it over into B Class.Georgejdorner (talk) 05:22, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks so much for the suggestions! You're not being too harsh--I'd much rather you give me good criticism so that I can correct my mistakes and hopefully improve on them. I redid the citations/references and added a "Background" section that hopefully gives an overview of these stockades. Let me know if you think of anything else.

- Given that we are trying to improve WP articles, your refusal to take these assessments personally is admirable.Georgejdorner (talk) 04:55, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
- My only objection to rating the article B Class for military history was the cites/references; these have been corrected in exemplary style. The suggested improvements are not grounds for holding up a B Assessment for WP MilHist. I did not assess for WP Alabama, as I lack the background to make a fair judgment. I would suggest submitting the article to that project for B Class assessment. Nice job, Dofftoubab.Georgejdorner (talk) 04:55, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
- Awesome! Thanks for your help! Dofftoubab (talk) 01:27, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
