Thanks for submitting your articles via email! I think Kit Carson will work for this project; the organization of this article is very, very rough and could use some work. I'd expect a better heading/Table of Contents structure. There may also be neutrality issues throughout, which would need rewriting. You're assigned this article.

Model Articles:
[edit]- James K. Polk: this article has been featured. It is well organised and concise. The talk page is polite and seems to have mostly attracted those who are genuinely interested in history.
- Abraham Lincoln: This is a featured article as well, though it seems to have been locked due to controversy. Despite the huge amount of information, there are only eight large sections, each with their own subsections. This keeps things tidy, and does a good job of keeping the information on topic, as with figures like Lincoln it can be easy to get off track.
- Marquis de Lafayette: This article is also well organised, especially for the huge amount of conflicts that Marquis de Lafayette was a part of. It limits itself to a brief summary of the battles, since they could probably sustain articles of their own. It does a good job of staying focued on the Marquis not the things happening around him, and does a great job of incorporating images.
Notes on Article History
[edit]- First version violated NPOV pretty heavily and used quite a few weasel words.
- Some sections about his life outside of conflict (such as the one titled: sheepherder) were not well condensed. Additionally they did not move chronologically.
- Removed section just called 'Native American Murderer' (too vague, and also debatably NPOV).
- Headings organised to be more clear (where they start and end).
- Sheepherder --> Ranching, Family Life, and Herding Sheep in later versions. Might still need revision to "A break from expeditions" or something similar.
- Seems to be some fixing of sections of undue weight, especially from the rough beginning version onward. Too much weight given to certain conflicts over others.
