American Revolutionary War was one of the History good articles, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.
This article is written in American English, which has its own spelling conventions (color, defense, traveled) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.
If there's some new rule regarding the infobox photo being too large, just crop out the bottom two images. There was no need to fix this photo in the first place. If that's still a problem, then use Lord Cornwallis' surrender portrait at Yorktown (top photo) only. Yourlocallordandsavior (talk) 10:11, 25 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I would like to include in the further reading list a book by the American Historian Gordon Wood The Creation of the American Republic, 1776-1787. HistoryGuy2022 (talk) 08:37, 14 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Done: Book has been added to the further reading list. DDMS123 (talk) 05:01, 27 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Many of the images have an unusual 'break' styling, and many don't. Should be consistent use, and the non-break caption seems to be Wikipedia style. Was this a page decision at some point? Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 13:52, 9 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Photo and image formatting needs to be reviewed and improved[edit]
More and more photos, illustrations and other images have been added to this article over the last several years, giving it an increasingly cluttered look that makes it difficult to read, particularly for people with visual impairments. At least several of these image additions appear to violate Wikipedia's Manual of Style/Accessibility standards which urge editors to "Avoid placing images on the left hand side as a consistent left hand margin makes reading easier" and "Avoid sandwiching text between two images or, unless absolutely necessary, using fixed image sizes." At this point, several images need to be removed or repositioned in an image gallery in order to bring the article back into compliance with the MOS and make it more accessible for Wikipedia users with visual impairments. 47thPennVols (talk) 21:32, 19 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
