William Tecumseh Sherman[edit]

Seems like a good, solid article. Pretty informative. My only complaint would be that there's only two pictures. Easily fixable though.--Kross | Talk 20:55, 16 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It is a well-written and well-organized article. Some more pictures would make it nicer--his home(s), battle sites or battle scenes, for example. I think that the list of works by Sherman should be in a separate section, as they are in most biographical articles. If a reader is specifically looking for works by Sherman, it would help if they were in an entitled section. Logophile 07:53, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Refreshing to see someone properly reference quotes to page numbers in a book. However, there are still several quotes that have no reference information. This particularly stands out in that "Reaction to secession" section. The third paragraph in "Vicksburg and Chattanooga" should be placed with the second paragraph. Reference the term "Negro equality" or use a more appropriate wording. Is "Posterity" supposed to be a sentence, paragraph, or section? Pick one, not all. The "(now the Hocking)" was not clear, I had to read the other article to figure out what that statement was referring to. --maclean25 08:32, 23 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • The presentation and narrative style of the writing is superb. An article this length should have more citations, external links, and biographical references. Images need attention. The three in current use are essentially the same: formal poses in military uniform. If possible, replace two of them with a battlefield and the march to the sea. Standardize the image size and add informative captions. Durova 10:18, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
