I think this one is good. --Gamingboy 20:47, Dec 20, 2004 (UTC)

  • Support This is a good topic of broad interest. I will be glad to help address concerns which may be raised to help improve it. Vaoverland 22:23, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Comment: I've uploaded a few public domain color paintings for use in the article. Check the talk page for details. Use them where you feel they would be best. One of them would probably look good as a replacement for the first picture in the article. --[[User:Brian0918|brian0918 talk]] 02:23, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Object. Needs battlebox. Neutrality/talk 05:56, Dec 22, 2004 (UTC)
  • I added a battlebox, but it's not complete. Can someone fix/finish it? --[[User:Brian0918|brian0918 talk]] 14:48, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Battlebox is now complete and includes a newly created campaignbox. Done and done. --[[User:Brian0918|brian0918 talk]] 17:53, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
    • Thanks. Support.
Comment: I don't think this is grounds for an objection. Not every article about a battle needs a battlebox. Gdr 01:46, 2004 Dec 24 (UTC)
Of course it's a valid objection. See featured article criteria: "A featured article should...Comply with the standards set by any relevant WikiProjects." User:Neutralitytalk 03:19, Dec 24, 2004 (UTC)
But where in Wikipedia:WikiProject Battles does it say that every article about a battle needs a battlebox? Gdr 09:05, 2004 Dec 28 (UTC)

  • the article has been spruced up by several contributors, with a public domain map from the Library of Virginia and 2 color paintings (also PD) added. The companion articles on USS Monitor and CSS Virginia (aka Merrimack or Merrimac) have also been improved. Suggestions for improvement folks? Vaoverland 23:14, Dec 22, 2004 (UTC)
  • Support. I just put the article in the proper category names (and noticed that all the civil war battles are in the wrong categories...) --Brian0918 05:12, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC

  • Support: The objections I had earlier have been addressed, and I've wanted to support it all along. Geogre 14:02, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)
