Powhatan Beaty[edit]

I've been working on this article for a while now and am looking for feedback. I'm hoping to get this to FA status, what do you think? jwillbur 23:58, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I will be posting a more detailed review of this later, but great job so far. I came across this article last month and added it to the featured bio list of Portal:ACW, I really like it. MrPrada (talk) 00:26, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kirill Lokshin[edit]

Very nice, overall; a few suggestions, though:

The MoH citation might be better off integrated into the ACW section (perhaps as a pullquote or something of that sort).
It'd be nice if the see also links could be worked into the text somehow.
The lead should be expanded if possible.

Keep up the good work! Kirill 13:53, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Two minor minor suggestions regarding the lead;

Just a thought, what do you think about moving the "During the American Civil War" bit up? So it looks something like this;

Powhatan Beaty (October 8, 1837–December 6, 1916) was an African American soldier during the American Civil War and actor. He served in the Union Army's 5th United States Colored Infantry Regiment throughout the Richmond–Petersburg Campaign.

Can we have the name of the play and his role please, so it may look something like this;

"His most well-known stage performance was an 1884 appearance as Tybalt in Romeo & Juliet at Ford's Theater in Washington, D.C., opposite Henrietta Vinton Davis."
