Googling[edit]

Free time, will and Google can bring a good article. I have only missed the references but I will upload them next time. --AndresArce 17:08, 23 April 2006 (UTC)AndresArce[reply]

I think WP:MOS and some basic references on English grammar and punctuation will be needed as well. I would volunteer to do some clean up, but I'd like to evaluate your references before undertaking such a task. It is worded so oddly in places ("Fastly, his professional skills shined", "Though, the stirred atmosphere was about to detonate definitively", "being Bartow its absolute winner additionally" -- was this auto-translated from some other language?) that I wonder if all copyright permissions have been obtained for this work. Simply because text is available via Google does not give us permission to use it directly. Hal Jespersen 20:50, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it was a long job, dear Hlj|Hal Jespersen. It wasn´t cut/pasted from other site. It was a large resume of all the information which is available via Internet. I´m well aware about the copyright-issues. So, I moved around many times at any finally written idea. LOL. Nonetheless, I will learn so much for sure from your welcomed copy-edit. Anytime. --AndresArce 13:10, 30 April 2006 (UTC)AndresArce[reply]

I'll put it on my to-do list. It will take a significant amount of work to bring the formatting and language up to Wikipedia biography standards and I have a lot of other articles needing attention that interest me more than Bartow. I do not normally comment on the quality of others' work, so forgive me, but your original statement bragging about how it was a good article set me off. People in the American Civil War editing community would normally say "Hey, I wrote an article. Comments welcome." (if they say anything at all, which they usually do not).

Citations[edit]

Does anyone else think this lacks citations in certain areas? Particularly in the section about the American civil war I see whole paragraphs without citations that really should have them. ThatGuyFromJersey (talk) 00:21, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
