Category:American Civil War Generals

It has been proposed to eliminate the Confederates from this list (as they already have their own separate category) and replace this category with Union Army Generals (which does not exist today as its own entity. I support this. Also, should there be a convention that any general should NOT be also duplicated in American Civil War people, keeping that category for civilians, politicians, spies, soldiers and other folks associated with the war, but not necessarily general officers? Your thoughts, particularly on the first question? I am willing to take the time to eliminate the references in each Confederate general's article. Scott Mingus 02:22, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

That's fine. (Where was this proposed anyway? Missed it.) One lingering consideration is that some men were both Union and U.S. Army generals (post-ACW) and there were even a few CSA+USA. As to the 'people' category, I have been editing those out for generals whenever I find them. Hal Jespersen 10:28, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Miniature Wargaming

Thanks. You did some good work, and I was just tidying things up, though I definately should have remembered to check if the "hills" and "fences" links went to the correct articles. Grimhelm 17:14, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Battle of Salineville

Scott, you did a nice job editting "my" article on the Battle of Salineville. I'm not a historian. I did grow up near Salineville. Last fall I simply spent a few days searching the internet before writing the essay. Mark W. Miller

Camp Chase

I appreciated the improvements you made to the Camp Chase article. My in-laws live next to it so I strolled over and took some pictures. I built the page from the historical marker there. george 05:45, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Orders of Battle

Thanks for your edits. Next I hope to do OBs for some of the smaller battles like Chantilly and Iuka, and a couple of bigger battles such as Chickamauga, Second Manassas, and Antietam. In addition, I'll probably do a couple of non-Civil War OBs for Mons and Yorktown.

Also, I was wondering if some of the larger OBs like Franklin and Shiloh might look better if the info was presented in tabular form like the Gettysburg OBs. Wild Wolf 15:17, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

1st Ohio Infantry

Wow, nice job on that article. You had far more information than I could possibly find. My plan was to make articles on the rest of them, but I didn't think it would work out. If you were to give a crack at creating the rest of the civil war regiments, that would be a great feat. --Wizardman 03:13, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

request for assistance with Billy Bowlegs

Hi, I stumbled across your work on Halleck Tustenuggee and was impressed with the amount of detail on battles and campaigns. Since you seem to have some good sources at hand, I was wondering if you could keep an eye out for any specifics on the activities of Seminole chief Billy Bowlegs during the war. I started the bio but couldn't figure out what this "fighting in Kansas" was. I'd appreciate it. Thanks! - BT 14:22, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
