[edit] GA Sweeps Review: Pass

As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the requirements of the GA criteria. I'm specifically going over all of the "Conflicts, battles and military exercises" articles. I made multiple corrections myself throughout the article, including removing some vandalism and converting several inline citations to citation templates. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. I'd recommend going through the article and seeing if there are any other errors I missed. The article would benefit from more sourcing, including some of the facts in "The Battle of Plum Creek" section. Go through the article and add sources for any statement that a reader may question about its verifiability. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have edited the article history to reflect this review. Happy editing! --Nehrams2020 01:50, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
