475:"is roughly oval- or bowl-shaped" kinda confused me at first read without considering the deeper explanation in the article. When it's not explained that the distinction is because two different sources say different things, it's confusing (at least to me) because it would seem obvious that something looked like-- in fact, surely it could be oval

After the
Duckport Canal FAC was archived due to inactivity, I was given a waiver of the normal two-week waiting period. So now follows a hopefully more interesting subject - a minor Confederate fortification in southwestern Arkansas. It's short, but I believe it is as comprehensive as can be,
557:"In places, the field of fire of the positions was not properly cleared and enemy troops" would it be more accurate, perhaps, to say "the field of fire was limited by incomplete clearing"? Since my understanding of 'field of fire' is that it is the area that can actually be reached by weaponfire

220:, but I will also comment on anything that could be improved. I'll post up some comments below over the next couple days, which you should either respond to, or ask me questions on issues you are unsure of. I'll be claiming points towards the
129:"and when beginning the Camden Expedition in March, decided to veer to the west and move through Arkadelphia instead" - don't think you need that comma after March (or if you do then you also need one before "when")
482:
the source that calls it bowl-shaped also states that it is "roughly oval-shaped" within the same paragraph, and the oval shape is what's most commonly used, so I've simply removed the references to bowl-shaped
761:"and fills a city block". I very much doubt this. Do you mean 'Made of earth, it is roughly 2,000 by 1,000 by 2,000 by 500 feet (610 m × 300 m × 610 m × 150 m), approximately the same size as a city block.
246:
It's discussed a bit more in the body - there's some uncertainty as to what exactly the original name was. Southerland is what's generally "stuck", but several historians question the accuracy of it
599:
That's pretty much all I came up with, hopefully some of it is helpful. Pretty nice little article. Please go easy on me, it's been a while since I reviewed much of anything. Best,
900:
Just to be clear, given the innocuous nature of my source review I don't consider it necessary to recuse coord duties so will shortly be promoting this. Cheers,
571:"Union supply trains were captured in the battles of" I think it might need to be made a bit more clear that by this point Camden was held by Union forces...?

Only two pieces of media in the article: a freely-licensed relevant image of the site as it currently (in relative terms) stands and a location map. Passed.

Not that I can find. Minor features like this generally only get attention when some sort of special event is occurring, like the NRHP nomination.
501:"but according to historian William L. Shea, are more accurately termed redoubts" my brain wants a comma after 'but', as well. Is that correct?
305:
I'm a bit worried about the amount of words that are complicated for the sake of it - I mentioned "emplaced", but the lede also has "extant".

Fort
Southerland was included in Fort Southerland Park - "included" is a weird word, why not say "sits within" or lies within?

121:"after a Union victory in the Little Rock campaign the previous year" - specify that this relates to the American Civil War?
529:"It was constructed south of Camden and was" Might be some confusion here whether 'it' is Redoubt D or E. Worth clarifying?
269:. It emplaced three cannons - really short sentence, "emplaced" is quite a complicated word that could be easier written.
585:"The line of trenches connecting the redoubts" are these the same trenches that Union forces had been digging earlier?
772:
Checked Baker, Bearss, Shea, and both Christ sources and none of them are clear about exactly how this was measured

I'll begin a review of this article very soon! My reviews tend to focus on prose and MOS issues, especially on the

At one point the adjective "earthen" had been in there, but I never fixed the syntax when "earthen" was removed

Can see no reliability or formatting issues in this short and sweet collection of references -- GTG. Cheers,
753:"Fort Southerland was located on a hilltop". "was"? Has it since moved? Or perhaps the valley has silted up?
769:
Are these measurements from the outer edge of the ditches, the inner edge of the banks, or something else?

Any way to add a caption to the IBox? It's not exactly clear what we're looking at
737:"Redoubt D was actually known as Fort Southerland". Does "actually" add anything?
938:
57:
487:"After the Confederates retook Camden," perhaps add date or some sense of time?
592:
Not entirely clear from Shea, so I've rephrased it to "A line of trenches ..."

I'm not an expert on
Arkansas in the war, but I have checked the indexes of
