Page merge?[edit]

Not being an expert in Civil War matters, I wanted to ask you if you think the page you created 56th Illinois Volunteer Infantry Regiment should be merged with 56th Illinois Infantry. Are they the same unit? I will take care of the details of collapsing "56th Illinois Infantry" into your page if you don't want to do so. Thank you for your time. Respectfully submitted,

Parent cats[edit]

The category Category:Minnesota in the Civil War is a parent cat for Category:Minnesota Civil War regiments. As such, per Wikipedia guidelines, the parent cat is typically not referenced alongside the subcat. Feel free, by the way, to join the Civil War task force, we woul love to have you on board!

That makes sense. I look forward to working with you all. Scromett 19:11, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wisconsin regiment articles[edit]

Thanks for contributing these articles! I made several minor stylistic and spelling changes per the guidelines we use for the American Civil War Task Force (see 2nd Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiment). For example, only the first word in titles is capitalized (Total enlistments and casualties). Also note that enlistments is not spelled enlistements. The year in full dates has a trailing comma (December 25, 1865, to January 30, 1865, for your lists of colonels and their command dates. Also, references should be delineated with <re> and </ref> commands and later placed in a Notes section. Please adjust your current articles and future ones using this style. Also, please check out User:Hlj/CWediting for ideas. Keep those articles coming! Thanks on behalf of the ACW Task Force! Scott Mingus 17:35, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vistulan Legion[edit]

Military History[edit]

I see that you like military history a lot with the creation of so many articles on the Illinois civil war regiments. I was wondering if you would be able to assist us in expanding Battle of Stillman's Run to eventual GA status. If you aren't interested, that is ok, but I just figured I would ask! Thanks, I appreciate your time.--Kranar drogin 19:10, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Use of the "battery" link[edit]

Hi, and thanks for your work on the artillery battery articles.

I have a request. When you want to link to the meaning for "battery", please use [[Artillery battery|battery]] instead using [[battery]]. When you use the plain form, you link to a disambiguation page that is not useful to your reader. I have been cleaning up links to the plain form from many different kinds of articles, not just yours, which is how I happened to see your articles.The electricity guys tend to be the biggest offenders, but we also get a fair number of criminal battery types also.

Thanks. -Arch dude 00:51, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I just changed about 16 articles that had [[artillery]] [[battery]] in them. They now have [[artillery battery]] instead. I hope this is acceptable. -Arch dude 01:13, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent catch! I will fix my template to correct this in the future. I'm having a duh! moment. Scromett 12:55, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

List of Pennsylvania Civil War Units[edit]

Proposed deletion of Vermont Units In the Civil War[edit]

The article Vermont Units In the Civil War has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Duplicate topic of List of Vermont Civil War units - although slightly older than its counterpart, this page is nearly an orphan and is more poorly categorized, in addition to the non-MoS-compliant title

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
