Improved to Good Article status by TwoScars (talk) and Lingzhi.Renascence (talk). Nominated by Onegreatjoke (talk) at 23:09, 4 May 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Battle of Shiloh; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Recent GA which qualifies for DYK. The QPQ is completed. The article is neutral and uses the correct inline citations. I prefer ALT2 as interesting, cited and in the article. I do not find evidence of copyright violations. Bruxton (talk) 22:17, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
- I have promoted ALT2 but the article is not in the hook. Lightburst (talk) 21:39, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
