Fort Runyon

Self-nom for yet another in the series of articles about the Civil War defenses of Washington, D.C. I've tried to incorporate suggestions from previous articles' reviews into this one: TomStar81's suggestions about cites and quotes, Eurocopter tigre's suggestions about images, and everything else. The article was featured in a Did you Know? on September 20, and I feel it's ready for an A-list review now. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks for your comments and your support.

• Do we have an article for the Arlington Historical Society? The external link in the intro is kind of distracting.
• In the 3rd paragrpah of the section "Occupation of Arlington" is the word "terminuses". Is that a misspelling or just one of those wierd words?
• In the last paragraph of the section "Occupation of Arlington" you have the sentence "The town of Alexandria was the sole exception."; thats more of sentence fragment than a sentence and should be either combined with some other sentence or removed altogather.
• In the first sentence in the first paragrpah in the section "planning and contruction" the sentence in the quote ends with "&c". That reads to me like a typo, could you check to make sure its correct?
• Citations for #17 and #18 read "see map" and "see illustration", but I do not see a link to a map or illistrations. TomStar81 (Talk) 06:43, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Fixed the cites. Terminuses or termini are acceptable in common usage. "&c." is an archaic abbreviation for etc., itself an abbreviation for etcetera. Combined those two sentences that bothered you in the Occupation of Arlington section. JKBrooks85 21:02, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

• Support, although I would suggest putting your images in text format, which you can do by formatting the image sytnaxe with a colon before the word "image". Otherwise it looks good. TomStar81 (Talk) 06:08, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. It's been fixed. JKBrooks85 14:12, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
