Prose
- Both Livington and Livingston are used in the prose. Are these interchangeable names, since "Livington" has more appearances in the article text?
- You could link to "warship".
- You could consider using the inflation parameter to denote what the $42,000 or $80,000 would be worth today.
- Way → Frederick Way
- Launched by at least January 1862,[4] and was commissioned later that month under the command of First Lieutenant Francis B. Renshaw.
Images
- A simple Google search led me to a 3D model of CSS Livington. Are there any usable images of it on Commons? MSincccc (talk) 16:56, 26 January 2026 (UTC)
- MSincccc - I belive that's somebody's commercial (and presumably copyrighted) 3D printer model of uncertain accuracy. A version of that file was deleted off of Commons as a copyright violation several years ago. I am unaware of any period depiction of this vessel. Hog Farm Talk 19:08, 26 January 2026 (UTC)
Source-to-text spot check

Done
Hog Farm I could only access reference no. 1. Could you please let me know of any way to access the rest of the sources? MSincccc (talk) 07:11, 27 January 2026 (UTC)
- I can either provide quotes from the sources or email you scans of selected items. Hog Farm Talk 15:44, 27 January 2026 (UTC)
- I typically spot-check 5–6 sources (2–3 for shorter articles) before completing a spotcheck. Scans of selected items for 2–3 sources (except no. 1, which I have already checked) would be appreciated. MSincccc (talk) 16:36, 27 January 2026 (UTC)
- @MSincccc: - I've got photos/scans of Canney pp. 150-151 and the page from Way. The email this user doesn't appear to have a function to attach files so if you'll send me a wikimail I'll respond with the scans for Canney & Way. McCaul is available through Project Muse on the Wikipedia Library. If there are specific pages of Chatelain that you would like to look at, I can send scans of those, too.
