I just have a small wording suggestion: ALT1: ... that Chinese born Joseph Pierce(pictured) enlisted as a Union Army soldier, fought at the Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War, and was made a corporal? I think it flows just a little bit better. What do you think@TheLonelyPather:? Otherwise a very well researched article, the provided source supports the hook. A larger version of the clear photograph is used in the article. Interesting bit of history. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 17:01, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@MtBotany: Your suggestion is valid. I was thinking of using "Chinese" as an ethnicity, but I understand that it could be miscontrued as saying Pierce was a Chinese (or Qing) citizen. I have struck out the original hook. Cheers, --The Lonely Pather (talk) 00:54, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Overall I think you did good work on the article @TheLonelyPather:. No concerns and I think this is ready for DYK. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 03:04, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
