I have Cutrer's bio of Ben McCulloch and will check to see if it has anything useful. Hog Farm _Talk 18:52, 5 March 2023 (UTC) }}

I believe the article lede section might be a bit too in depth, but I'm relatively new to this process so I'm not sure if this is something I should make recommendations for improvement here, or if I should take that to the article talk page. Everything else seems good with the article. Thank you! Kcmastrpc (talk) 20:15, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

Nothing in Cutrer's Ben McCulloch and the Frontier Military Tradition or in Colton's The Civil War in the Western Territories.

• "Fort McKavett was established during the American colonization of Texas" - the reference to Fort McKavett seems to be a relic from the copying within from that article
  • I cannot believe I didn't catch this. –♠Vamí_IV†♠ 04:47, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
• "In 1849, gold was discovered in California" - hadn't the Gold Rush already started in 1848 after they found gold at Sutter's Mill?
  • Corrected. –♠Vamí_IV†♠ 04:47, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
• "which the garrison could abate even by digging an 80-foot (24 m) well" - context suggests you might have intended "could not abate"?
  • Another embarassing slip up. –♠Vamí_IV†♠ 04:47, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
• "along with Forts Mason and Terrell." - any chance you mean Fort Terrett?
  • Yes; corrected. –♠Vamí_IV†♠ 04:47, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
• Image licensing is fine
• As per the new GA reviewing expectations, I spot-checked a few sources. No copyright or source-text integrity issues noted
• All sources are reliable

Only very minor issues here; placing on hold. Hog Farm _Talk 23:05, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

Thank you so much for your quick review! –♠Vamí_IV†♠ 04:47, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
