William E. Miller (soldier, born 1836)

Improved to Good Article status by Semmendinger (talk). Self-nominated at 01:04, 26 October 2020 (UTC).

  • GA status procured on 22 October, DYK nomination made on 26 October. Article meets required length (~7695 characters). Hook is sourced and cited in the sentence. No copyvios found. QPQ done. Hook is of great length and very interesting. DepressedPer (talk) 11:16, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
  • Semmendinger, the phrase "saving Gettysburg" isn't used in the article. It probably shouldn't be in quotation marks in the hook. A reporter did say that he "won Gettysburg". Is that what was intended? In any case, Gettysburg needs to be disambiguated – are you saying that he saved the city, or won the battle? MANdARAX  XAЯAbИAM 19:39, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
Yes, should be disambig to the Battle of Gettysburg. We can take away the quotes to keep the line. SEMMENDINGER (talk) 00:09, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
Okay, I've struck the original hook and made those changes as ALT0a. MANdARAX  XAЯAbИAM 00:24, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
