== Indian casualties at the battle of the Little Big Horn==

Indian casualties at the Little Big Horn were much higher than written in the Wikipedia article. New discoveries in Indian testimonies point at least 200 dead warriors. See the Friends of the Little Big Horn newspaper:
http://www.friendslittlebighorn.com/Members.htm

It's all right with Indian testimonies which always told us about a great and very hard battle (some Indians even said that the battle was not decided until the very end of the fight, for example Sitting Bull said that he had no idea of the outcome of the fight. The Sioux chief also said that Custer was always looking at the east, for support by Benteen and Reno (a support that never came - a military betrayal), and was fighting as hard as a human can do (Rain In the Face, Iron Hawk, Low Dog and many many others, see Gregory Michno's excellent book "Lakota Noon" (Mountain Press, 1997).

== 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. [[User:Hlj|Hal Jespersen]] 10:28, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

== [[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.

== 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. [[User:Wild Wolf|Wild Wolf]] 15:17, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

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.

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! - [[User talk:BanyanTree|BT]] 14:22, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

== Regiment issue ==
I have to admit being a little confused -- you restored Regiment in the 155th OVI article and then defend its deletion.  My objection was never to the omission from the title of the article - it was the deletion from the article lede.  So I infer that you agree with me since you did what I was going to do.

:Check - just seen your note on the main article. but leave the redirect pending the new article (which needs to be substantial enough to justify separate existence).

== Susquehanna River ==

Did you notice that Susquehanna River is both an article and a category (that includes the article and many other articles regarding this river)? And that the article level links I deleted were in each case already linked at the category level.  By preferentially pointing users to the category, new avenues of reading and thought are opened up.  Also, in general, wiki guides frown on 'duplicate' or 'double' level categorization; by having links from a location to both the article and its category, this is having a double level.  I did explain this in my deletion notes by saying I was deleting 'dbl(double) lvl(level) cat(egorization)'.  I hope you understand and will agree with me.  Thanks.

== Northwest Indian War ==

Could have a look at [[Northwest Indian War|this article]]:
* The layout is wrong, the introduction much too long, and the TOC appears on the second screen.
* The sequence of events are out of order.  "Background" appears after the article main body.
* There's way too much gloating that Wikipedia has this article and other reference works don't.  It needs to be toned down a bit. [[User:Patsw|patsw]] 00:42, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

== John Lafayette Riker ==

Scott, you've added a lot of information about John Lafayette Riker. I'd like to know what your source material is for claims that he: <br />1. Practiced law before commanding the Anderson Zouaves, and;<br />2. His body was escorted back to New York by Chaplain Charles Harvey.

I ask this because as far as I am aware (and I would love to be proven wrong) there is no evidence that John Lafayette Riker actually practiced law. He did however, have a relation, John "Lawrence" Riker, who did practice as a lawyer and had an office on Nassau Street, New York. Is it possible that you have confused these two? Also the name of the Chaplain of the Anderson Zouaves was John Harvey (not Charles Harvey). I have always assumed that Harvey escorted the body of Riker back to New York but have never had any firm evidence to back this up. I would change the information in the article but wanted to check your sources first in case you were privy to some information to which I am not.

Also I am keen on communicating with individuals with an interest in or information on the Anderson Zouaves as uncovering the history of this regiment and Riker has been a pet project of mine for several years now.

Hi Scott,
I noticed you added the category "New York in the Civil War" to the [[Alfred Waud]] article I created. I'm wondering what the New York connection is, as the article doesn't really support that right now - and/or if you could explain the New York connection in the text?

== [[List of board wargames]] ==

If you can find some time, I'd appreciate it if you could discuss the recategorization of Civil War games you did there a while back. I seem to have different ideas on terminology than you, and would like to get some definitions down. :) --[[User:Rindis|Rindis]] 17:23, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

==Missouri and Kansas in the Civil War==
Thanks for your additions of categories (particuarly Kansas in Civil War).  I responded to your comments on my [[Usertalk:Americasroof]] but you may have missed them because I'm a newbie to talk.  As you may or may not have guessed my particular interests are Missouri and Kansas (e.g., Kansas City).  I've added added a [[Template:Kansas in the Civil War]].  I actually started the rewrite of the [[Missouri in the Civil War]] but my computer crashed before the first save.  Hopefully you will see umpteen revisions in the next few days/weels. I will probably also update the Kansas article but I want to make sure I capture the major events.  Thanks for your efforts and keep up the good work!!! [[User:Americasroof|Americasroof]] 01:02, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
:Thanks! I'm sitting in a hotel in southern Ohio as I type this. I've been filling out [[:Category:Kansas in the Civil War]] tonight, as well as [[:Category:Missouri in the Civil War]] for those biographies and places not covered in your excellent template. Keep up the good work, and please join the Civil War Task Force! We'd love to have you on board. [[User:Scott Mingus|Scott Mingus]] 01:05, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
::Thanks Scott for your prompt comments!  You've really added some cool stuff to Kansas.  My personal history floats across the state line between in Missouri and Kansas (with majority in Missouri). While I'm normally reluctant to join task forces, I should probably join the Civil War since I kinda know how track down stuff in the two states.  Thanks again and do keep up the good work.  I'm always amazed at how good and comprehensive the Civil War stuff is (other than of course the nuances of the Kansas and Missouri issues).

== It was nice to find you ==

lurking around [[Caspar Buberl]], and i was quite thrilled to find his [my] little drummer boy on your page.  As you probably know, writters of some of the more obscure topics [ie, Buberl] often wonder if anyone ever sees then and so finding that you've been there and used it is very gratifying.  Most of my Civil War stuff is about the monuments but I know a lot about those so if you need any anything, please let me know. [[User:Carptrash|Carptrash]] 19:53, 2 October 2006 (UTC) PS I have, for example, some shots of [[Gutzon Borglum]]'s NC Monument, which, although deeded not good enough for the Gettysburg Battlefield article [along with about 20 others that got axed worse than Picket's men] should do just fine on the Borglum page.
:Your mention of the wounded NC soldier made it tough [life CAN be tough sometimes] to decide what picture to use so i made a sort of collage of two shots.  Please check it out at [[Gutzon Borglum]] and if you think it doesn't work. let me know.  I'm too close to be objective. [[User:Carptrash|Carptrash]] 21:56, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
::Thanks for the photo critique. A little voice inside me was ;STRONGLY; hinting that what i did was not really what was needed, but you [always, if possible, blame someone else] got me going with the "wounded soldier" remark.  Likely i'll do something to it later.  I was trying to decide if i wanted to move most of the pictures [most are mine anyway] into a gallery and leave the text as . . . ....  text. I actually prefer spreading them around, but it seems that wikipedia preference is going the other way. Another, "We'll see."  [[User:Carptrash|Carptrash]] 14:19, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

== A tiny bit of help with the portal? ==

As I'm going through state cw articles for the Grande Parade, I'm having a tough time with the summary, since most of the introductions are pretty cursory. Could you do one of two things to assist me? 1) Either help contribute to the portal Grand Parade queue articles directly, or 2) help beef up the introductions of each article to about two paragraphs or so each (my preference, I think we should just make each intro better, and to a like style so I can drop it directly into the queue with little editing). Love your work, would like to showcase it. [[User:BusterD|BusterD]] 00:14, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
:If you find yourself in the NYC area in a hotel room, let me know; I can show you some great spots for food. As to article introductions, I think it works best if you continue to focus on the articles (of course if you see anything at [[P:ACW]], feel free to fix it) so that every reader gets your effort. What I see as necessary in each GPotS portal article is a basic introduction to the state's participation which well represents the entire article. This sounds like what any good article intro should contain. I see about two paragraphs, say, 200-300 words. For example: 
::"The state of Whatsis contributed to the ACW primarily in the areas of goobers, lemonheads, and malted milk balls. Over 50,000 lemonheads were contributed to the North/South cause, with Junctiontown, Whatsis being a primary source of goober/MMB production during the war. 
::"The battles of orange, grape, and guava were fought within the boundaries of Whatsis, though the guava campaign was primarily in the state of Whosits. The prison camp of sugar shack was especially well known for its poor treatment of dental health and the resulting 30,000 cavities treated was testimony to the ...  North/South leader Tootie Frootie was born in ..." 
:And so forth. Kinda vanilla, but we'll write them much better than that. When we get a good one, we'll add the state to the queue. [[User:BusterD|BusterD]] 23:11, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
::Exactly! [[User:BusterD|BusterD]] 00:49, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Our problem is that we lack maps and people able of creating battlefield maps. By chance I realized you are familiar with the topic, so I would very much appreciate your advice.

My idea was to use photos of wargames taken from a bird's eye view with colored arrows indicating troop movement. In case the symbols for the troops are figures they should be deployed, colored and equipped in a historically accurate fashion, furthermore it should be easily possible to determine their troop type and to which side they belong. This is likely suitable for premodern warfare.

Kirill Lokshin raised the issue that it may not look professional, so I'm greatly interested in using the same wargaming style which was in use among the contemporary militaries. This would make it more authentic and really professional in my opinion, especially for the early modern and modern warfare until the rise of computers.

:Could you and some other wargamers possibly do this? [[User:Wandalstouring|Wandalstouring]] 12:05, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
:I only do Civil War miniature wargaming - no other periods. Hence, I would not be of any help to this effort as the major ACW articles are more than adequately illustrated with maps.[[User:Scott Mingus|Scott Mingus]] 17:25, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

== people of the American Civil War by state ==

I believe you created the categories of 'xxxx state in the American Civil War'. Good.  To help organize the articles in these catgeories, I am thinking about creating subcategories named 'People from xxxx state in the American Civil War' or some similar name for the people articles.  Have you any thoughts on this name. pattern [[User:Hmains|Hmains]] 05:10, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

== Renaming a category problem ==

Hi Scott. Congrats on your book!! :-)  I've been working on orphaned categories and I've run into a problem. I've just created a category and the category name contains a typo. I don't know how to fix this. Can you help me? The category is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:American_University_of_Beruit American University of Beirut], expect I misspelled Beirut. The letter I is in the wrong place. I've searched through the Wiki guides and I can't find instructions for how to do this. Thanks in advance for your help.

Looks like you've done some great work on the article [[Morgan's Raid]]. I just rated it for [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Kentucky|WikiProject Kentucky]], and I think it's a Good or Featured article just waiting to happen. All it needs is some in-line citation. As it looks like you are the primary author, you could probably provide those better than anyone. Can I do anything to help you get it ready for a Good or Featured article nom?

== Battle of Opequon? ==

Sir,
The Body of Literature refers to this esoteric name by it's commonly known name of the Third Battle of Winchester.  There are no published books called the "Battle of Opequon".  Rather, there are published books on the First, Second and Third Battles of Winchester separately and together.  Local signage, museums, tourist literature here in Winchester, VA where I am a resident make no mention of the "Battle of Opequon".

Since the Body of Literature and local community and citizens refer to this as the Third Battle of Winchester ... please consider changes the name of this master page and article to the same said title.

I have found many factual errors in the three wikipedia articles on these three battles, and it will take me some time to submit corrections, for at least the more problematic errors.  Please ask all the self-apppointed gurus of these pages to consider the carefully researched and well-read inputs received on these battles from an on-scene expert. <small>—The preceding [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|unsigned]] comment was added by [[Special:Contributions/140.185.55.77|140.185.55.77]] ([[User talk:140.185.55.77|talk]]) 23:03, 26 February 2007 (UTC).</small><!-- HagermanBot Auto-Unsigned -->

== Third Battle of Winchester ==

In response to your message, I have listed at the task force site, and submitted a brief explanation of why, in Virginia, the PACS names of battles are used (e.g. the Battles of Manassas), and why NPS honors this.  NPS has no involvment in Winchester, and if a national park were created, there would be no doubt that at that time, the correct names would be applied (e.g. the Third Battle of Winchester, and the First, Second and so on).

If there is not much debate herewith, please consider the renaming of the page for the Third Battle of Winchester.

As a side note, I noticed the Gettysburg Campaign list is missing MGen J.E.B. Stuart's battles in Fairfax and Maryland, which should be added to the campaign list, with blank pages to start their documentation.  (I'm new at this wikipedia stuff, but just trying to lend a hand)

I see you're in the American Civil War task force for the Wikiproject on military history, so I thought I'd enlist your advice.

== New page: [[Winchester in the Civil War]] ==

Scott,

I pulled this into a new page, and will expand from there.  I plan to leave the original material in the city/town page, or perhaps trim it a bit (CW is a big part of Winchester and its tourism).

I've added it to your cities in the CW category, but I don't know how to make your TOC winchester link point to this page, vice the paragraph of the town/city page.  How does that work, or can you fix that?

I will need a few months to get this up to snuff and matured size.

Regards the [[User:Grayghost01|Grayghost01]] 03:20, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

== The Romney Expedition and etc. ==

Scott & Hal,

I'm sending this to both of you, as I don't know which of you administers what.

As I am filling in material for Civil War events in the Winchester area, I've noticed that the Romney Expedition is missing, and so I will start a stub article.  I searched wiki and could not find anything on it.

It should be the opening battle of Jackson's Valley Campaign of 1862.  In your campaign box, you start with 1st Kernstown, but the Romney Expedition is the real beginning, and should be added first in the sequence.

Also missing is Jackson's Railroad Operations against the B&O (The Great Train Robbery) in the spring of 1861 (at least I can't find any wiki article on it).  That should be it's own sub-box in your "Early Operations 1861" Campaign scheme.  Once again, with your permission, I can stub an article on that.

These stub articles, I will give a good solid paragraph to start it, and perhaps a public-domain image, if available.

Finally ... I noticed on the cities of the Civil War that Romney was listed as a Northern city.  ?? I suppose I see the technicality that WV became a state in the Union a few years into the war.  However, you all must understand that those counties (the neck of WV) did NOT join the Union with WV in the war, and were part of Virginia.  Later, after the war, these "neck" counties exercised an opportunity to transfer to Virginia.

Romney, Martinsburg and Charlestown were pro-Seccession towns, and generally were under the watch or control of Confederate forces anytime the Confederates were in town.

I suggest that you re-consider the placement of Romney on the list, and to put it either in the South's line ... or ... if you name your border group as Border/Disputed, it might actually more logically fit there, as would any town in WV.

For the Cause, the [[User:Grayghost01|Grayghost01]] 03:13, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

== Romney, and extent of Wiki ACW coverage ==
Scott & Hal,
I think Scott's references demonstrate the sources which tie Romney to the Valley Campaign, and I will put these as references on the [[Romney Expedition]] page.  You will notice that the RE page explains the reason why the Romney Expedition and the following Insurrection of Loring set up the whole chain of events that began the VC.  If not for that episode, Jackson may have, instead, peformed a "BRAGG-KENTUCKY" type affair, with a larger force.  Instead, Jackson was forced to abandon Winchester, and was put into the position of having to interact as he did with Banks.

What is the goal of Wikipedia?  Is it to be an ever-growing and unabridged encyclopedia of the world?  If so, in my own opinion, it is a great venue to summarize the entire ACW, by topics, by battles, by whatever threads are of interest. I see all the goofy biographies on living people, and also others who obviosly stick in their own self-articles to promote themselves.  Surely history deserves a front seat to that.  Therefore, I am of the opinion that the ACW in Wiki should cover, if possible, every noteworthy event in some summary form, and every skirmish.  The level and taxonomy should determine relative coverage, then.

In that light, I propose that you consider a classification of "expeditionary operations" which is analgous but different from the "campaign operations".  Expeditionary operations, by the book, have been around for a long time, and the USMC views the world heavily from this angle, and uses the Confederate actions as their textbook of sorts, along with the infamous "Small Wars Manual" they wrote, and still use. The Red-River, Romney and other such episodes are better viewed as expeditionary operations, and given the definition of expeditionary you will see why.

I also propose a lower-tier of "Skirmishes" and "Raids".  This is a vital category deserving its own treatment.  Often these are NOT tied in to the campaign they occur in the middle of, such as the Raid to assassinate President Davis in Richmond.  Some, like the "raid" into Ohio does not fit the defintion of a raid (though called that from time to time) and is fittingly called an "expedition".

As a retired Marine, and former Instructor at the Marine Corps University, I want to point out that so many people write on the topic of the ACW, that they often mis-categorize events, or are the ones giving events "names" that were not originally used by the veterans of the war.  E.g. our own current "Gettysburg Campaign" was certainly never called that at the time it occurred. In looking back, the taxonomy and naming convention becomes useful.

I see how the National Park Service was invoked, which seems that they simply had SOMETHING on the web which was convenient for some early wikipedians to pull in.  Okay.  But while I think that was a good start ... and much may not change from that ... the taxonomy of the Battles, Expeditions, Raids and Skirmishes of the ACW should be reflected from consideration of the Body of Literature as its main influence.

So to that end, I propose this taxonomy for consideration:
Theaters
Campaigns (& Campaign Battles)
Expeditions (& Expedition Battles)
Raids 
Skirmishes

Ponder this, and I will get back to you with definitions and terms to define these a bit.

== I have intersected with you several times ==

on wikipedia, most recently at [[Randolph Rogers]].  I am a sculpture historian - mostly America (or should I say "United States" - one needs to be so careful around here) and this includes a lot of Civil War monuments.  Anyway, I noticed your books and wondered 1) how much discussion is there about monuments in them and 2) is there any relationship between yours and Herbert l. Grimm and Paul L.

==Contribution==
Hello. I am currently trying to contribute to a battle in respect to giving a reason why a Viking force had to withdraw from a native attack, which I think was instrumental to the article itself and since the person in question received her place in history for that act. Its my understanding that Wikipedia is meant for contributions, but the people at that region see fit to leave the situation vague. They have told me that I cannot simply copy and past from references and, in short order, I re-wrote the small addition
in my own words. I don't see what the problem here is, however, they simply revert my edits and give me vague conclusion to why they have done so.

==Some questions==
I had some questions about a couple of projects I had in mind:

1. Articles on Pennsylvania ACW regiments have differant endings (such as "Volunteer Infantry" and "Infantry"). I was wondering if it would be better if all ended in one or the other. This way, it would be easier when creating links to PA regiments since editors wouldn't have to try and remember which regiments have which ending.

2. I'm trying to get battles into their proper category in the [[:Category:Battles of the American Civil War]]. I noticed there are categories for "Main Eastern Theater" and "Pacific Coast Theater" and was wondering what were the specific geographic bounderies for these categories. (For example, the [[Battle of Picacho Pass]] is included in the Pacific Coast Theater but can be included in the TransMississippi Theater.)

3. Related to the above, exactly what differentiates between a battle in [[:Category:Battles of the Operations Against the Defenses of Charleston of the American Civil War]] against one in [[:Category:Battles of the Operations in Charleston Harbor of the American Civil War]]?

4. With the regiments from the Confederate States, there are often two lists of units, one of units in general (e.g. [[Virginia Units in the Civil War]]) and one of Confederate regiments ([[Virginia Civil War Confederate Units]]). The one of units in general seem to include units in both armies, including the units in the Confederate list. Do you think both lists should be merged into a single list or should there be two lists for each state, one for each army? [[User:Wild Wolf|Wild Wolf]] 01:09, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

==Additional questions==
Hey there. Hate to be a nuisance but I wanted to get your opinions about some more things:

1. With the [[:Category:Battles of the American Civil War]], most battles seem to be in a "Battles of X Campaign" categories. Should these campaign categories be added to the Battles category to make things simplier or should each battle be added seperately.

2. With the ACW regimental categories, some states which had units on both sides (such as Missouri and South Carolina) have only one category for all units. Do you think that the units in opposing armies should have seperate categories (e.g., Missouri Union regiments be in "Category:Missouri Union Army regiments" and Confederate regiments in "Category:Missouri Confederate Army regiments")?

== Battle of Charleston? ==

Scott,  I came across [[Battle of Charleston (1861)]] and am not sure what to make of it.  Is there some specific reference that details what happened?  My O.R. search seemed to yield more about an earlier skirmish there.  [[User:Red Harvest|Red Harvest]] ([[User talk:Red Harvest|talk]]) 17:58, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

:Scott, is there enough info around (such as a source) that this one can be expanded in any way?  Or is this destined for deletion due to lack of notability?  If it ties into a campaign or something then even if it doesn't rise to notability in its own right we could add a paragraph or two to the relevant campaign or action. I'm not particularly knowledgeable about the operations in this sector of the state.  [[User:Red Harvest|Red Harvest]] ([[User talk:Red Harvest|talk]]) 02:44, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

==Categories==
Sorry to bother you about this again, but I had a couple more questions about the ACW battles categories:
1. Is there any overlap between the Lower Seaboards Theater (LST) category and the other categories (e.g.: a battle can be included in both categories) or can battles belong to one and only one?

2. I noticed in the LST battles category that there are subcategories covering various portions of the Theater (such as against major cities in 1862). I was wondering if it would be better to transfer these subcategories to the LST campaigns cat and list the articles individually in the battles cat or to leave this as is. (Or perhaps leave the subcats in the battles cat and add the individual battles.)

Hi Scott, there is a bit of controversy brewing as apparently there are two different stories about what happened after Bowlegs moved from Florida.

Thanks, [[User:BanyanTree|Banyan]][[User talk:BanyanTree|Tree]] 23:55, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
:Hi, I would just like to point out that in Banyan's research to try and prove exactly which of the Billy Bowlegs was actually the Captain Billy Bowlegs he found this [http://www.cem.va.gov/cem/pdf/ftgibson.pdf ''Fort Gibson National Cemetery'']. Which is a link to the cemetary in question where Captain Bowlegs is buried. It clearly states that the Captain Billy Bowlegs that is buried in their cemetary is '''Sonuk Mikko''' and not '''(Holata Micco, Halpatter-Micco, and Halpuda Mikko)'''. I am currently in discussions with several historians from the National Park Service. Over their explanation of this. The response I have recieved so far is that the Captain Billy Bowlegs buried in the cemetary real name '''Sonuk Mikko''', Is not likely to be The one of Seminole war fame '''Holato Mikko'''. In all likely hood it could posibly be his son. There is record of a Billy Bowlegs being born on the Seminole Nation in Oklahoma in 1932. I have found several Billy Bowlegs that fit the time period. I also have found documented records of Billy Bowlegs of the seminole war dying in 1859 this was in a book published in 1872 wrttien by Frances Samuel Drake. My contest had been the whole time. That the records from the war never stated which of the many Billy Bowlegs it was. That is until he found the record from the cemetary that states '''Sonuk Mikko'''. Which to me as a geneaologist is the proof that finally sets the record straight.

==[[Darius N. Couch]]==
Good day, sir! I think this is the first time talking to you. Question: I've been expnading on Couch's article, and I want to include what you added back in '06 to the intro about his PA militia involvement, either there or in the Gettysburg sub-section. I cannot cite it, though, and was wondering if you could, especially if it from the Heidler work already in the refs. Appreciate any help you can give. [[User:Kresock|Kresock]] ([[User talk:Kresock|talk]]) 02:38, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

:The material on the PA militia came from my book, Flames Beyond Gettysburg: The Gordon Expedition, June 1863. It is based upon material from the Official Records and from the late Al Gambone's Engimatic Valor: Major General Darius N. Couch. I will provide specific pages from Gambone tonight; leaving now for work... Scott Mingus (talk) 10:57, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Cool beans. Appreciate the response! [[User:Kresock|Kresock]] ([[User talk:Kresock|talk]]) 22:07, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 
Saw the cites. I got sources saying "coach" as does the IPA I think Hal added along the way. This can easily be included in the footnotes for those who would care to know. Not as important as what he did in life anyway. Thanks for the help! [[User:Kresock|Kresock]] ([[User talk:Kresock|talk]]) 00:22, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

==Updates to "Burning of Platte City"==
I think the Burning of Platte City section needs updating based on "William M Paxton 1905 Deposition of Civil War Courthouse Burining", published in Platte County Missouri Historical & Genealogical Society Bulletin of January-April 2010.  Much of the deposition confirms facts included in the Wikipedia article but does dispute the statement at the end of the article: "In 1864 he returned to Platte City and Union troops once again burned the city."  The Bulletin is not available online but I can provide an electronic copy if you are interested.[[User:Jau53|Jau53]] ([[User talk:Jau53|talk]]) 03:03, 31 December 2010 (UTC) Jim U'Ren jim.uren@gmail.com  1105 4th St Platte City, MO[[User:Jau53|Jau53]] ([[User talk:Jau53|talk]]) 03:03, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

Keep up the good work, that's an [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Phineas_Davis&oldid=35815471 impressive first draft].

== March Madness 2017 ==

G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/March Madness 2017|March Madness drive]]. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas: 

* tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
* updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
* creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement. 

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/March Madness 2017|here]] for those that are interested, and  members can sign up as participants at that page also.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now. 

For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, [[User:AustralianRupert|AustralianRupert]] ([[User talk:AustralianRupert|talk]]) & [[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

== 2017 Military Historian of the Year and Newcomer of the Year nominations and voting ==

As we approach the end of the year, the Military History project is looking to recognise editors who have made a real difference. Each year we do this by bestowing two awards: the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Military_history/Awards#"Military_historian_of_the_Year"|Military Historian of the Year]] and the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Military_history/Awards#"Military_history_Newcomer_of_the_Year"|Military History Newcomer of the Year]]. The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Coordinators|co-ordinators]] invite all project members to get involved by nominating any editor they feel merits recognition for their contributions to the project. Nominations for both awards are open between 00:01 on 2 December 2017 and 23:59 on 15 December 2017. After this, a 14-day voting period will follow commencing at 00:01 on 16 December 2017. Nominations and voting will take place on the main project talkpage: [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Military_history#Nominations_for_military_historian_of_the_year_for_2017_now_open!|here]] and [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Military_history#Nominations_for_military_history_newcomer_of_the_year_for_2017_now_open!|here]].

There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of [[Banknotes of the United States dollar|United States banknotes]], yet only a fraction of these are represented on [[c:Main Page|Wikimedia Commons]] in the form of 2D scans.  Additionally, [[Colonial history of the United States|Colonial America]], the [[Confederate States of America|Confederate States]], the [[Republic of Texas]], multiple [[List of states and territories of the United States|states and territories]], communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons.

In the months of November and December, [[WP:WikiProject Numismatics|WikiProject Numismatics]] will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the [[c:COM:US Banknote Contest/2019|2019 US Banknote Contest]].  The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on [[m:Complete list of Wikimedia projects|all Wikimedia projects]].  Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive [[c:COM:US Banknote Contest/2019#Awards|awards]].
