Requests for assessment

Editors can self-assess articles against the five B-class criteria^(FAQ) up to and including C-Class. If you have made significant improvements to an article against one or more of B-class criteria and would like an outside opinion on a new rating for it, please feel free to list it below, specifying which criteria you have worked on. If you feel unable to assess against one or more of the B-class criteria, please say so when posting. Requests for formal A-Class review should be made at the review department. Please consider entering articles you have improved in the military history article writing contest.

Experienced assessors are encouraged to take a look at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history/Coordinators#AutoCheck report for May and check a few of ≈ B-Class assessments. Feel free to downgrade them if you consider they don't meet one or more the criteria. Please also delete any that you have checked. See also Wikipedia:WikiProject Spaceflight/Assessment, whose articles often overlap with military history topics.

• RMAF Regiment - Made some edits, mostly minor. Just stumbled on it. Ominae (talk) 03:35, 29 May 2025 (UTC)

  @Ominae: need to review these articles a little more carefully - unless someone else gets to them first. In the meantime, please add a citation to the Colonel-in-Chief section. It can be assessed no higher than C class without the citation Thanks Donner60 (talk) 09:32, 31 May 2025 (UTC)

• RMAF Jugra Air Base - Same as above.

  @Ominae: This article also needs a little more careful review. Again, please add citations for the A new ground force squadron was established here subsection and tenant units section. The article can be assessed no higher than C class without them. Donner60 (talk) 09:44, 31 May 2025 (UTC)

• Miller's Cornfield — A significant part of the Antietam battlefield in the early stages of the battle. STPatrick1982 (talk) 12:15, 10 June 2025 (UTC)

  Your reference 13 leads to a dead page. The following sentence, which ends a paragraph, is unreferenced. This will be B class when these two small problems are fixed - or the material is deleted. Donner60 (talk) 22:21, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

  @STPatrick1982: B class. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 03:53, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

  @STPatrick1982 and Donner60: - what is "This Terrible Sound: The Battle of Antietam" which is referenced suppose to be? Cozzens' work by the title "This Terrible Sound" is about Chickamauga and I'm unaware of any Antietam book by him. Hog Farm _Talk 04:23, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

  Thanks for catching this. I will review this assessment. (Full disclosure: I have the Cozzens book and should have caught this). Donner60 (talk) 05:58, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

  @STPatrick1982@Hog Farm There are other very serious problems with the citations and references in this article. It certainly needs major cleanup if it is to be kept at all or further attention is not to be brought to it. The The Civil War: A Narrative: Volume 1 – Fort Sumter to Perryville was written by Shelby Foote, not William L. Shea. I found no such book by Shea. I have the Foote book with this title. The cited pages are about the Battle of Pea Ridge. The citations to Hartwig, David, I Dread the Thought of this Place are without page numbers. That is apparently because the citations are to a Project Muse summary of the book, not the book itself, obviously not a good reference. If one has access to Muse, the entire book is available. (Yes, I have that book too. I also met the author some years ago as he is, or was, an NPS historian/ranger.) Of course, the pages cited to the Cozzens book deal with the Battle of Chickamauga. The citations to Reardon and Vossler are also without page numbers. There are no ISBN numbers in 11 of the 15 citations. I have added a template about citations not verifying the text and a few specific failed verification tags. I will reassess for now. Donner60 (talk) 07:54, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

  The Cozzens and Shea citations were my mistakes and I removed them. I provided page numbers for Sears because I have a hard copy. I don't have hard copies of Hartwig and Reardon & Vossler but I can edit in chapters instead of page numbers. I will also add ISBNs. STPatrick1982 (talk) 23:19, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

  The citations should all be fixed now. For the books that are ebooks, I added chapters since I can't add page numbers, since that is what the site said to do. STPatrick1982 (talk) 00:12, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
