A list of the top 500 most popular articles within our scope, as well as the number of page views each article received over the past month, can be found here.

With most of our articles assessed as Stub- or Start-Class, there's a lot of work to be done. However, we also have a significant number of good, A-Class, and featured articles, which have been assessed as amongst the best Wikipedia has to offer. These article serve as a yardstick for what can be achieved and should be aimed for, and can provide ideas about how to write an article and what sources to consult; they are listed below:

Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper

Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper was a general illustrated news magazine out of New York City. There are numerous articles and wood engravings of events before, during, and after the American Civil War (many based on war artist sketches). Note that due to the news cycle for images at the time, the corresponding illustrations may be weeks or months after the event in question occurred. Likewise, many place names are misspelled and idiosyncratic or uncommon names for battles are used. NOTE: To extract an image at high-resolution, zoom in to the highest magnification in the browser-viewer, then right-click save.

Selections of the various wood engravings were later collected and presented in the following volumes, where those that are selected are usually in more-pristine condition than in the original newspaper (there is less newsprint bleed):

Harper's Weekly

Harper's Weekly was a rival illustrated newspaper to Frank Leslie's, published in New York City and operating in much the same format. Note that due to the news cycle for images at the time, the corresponding illustrations may be weeks or months after the event in question occurred. Likewise, many place names are misspelled and idiosyncratic or uncommon names for battles are used. NOTE: To extract an image at high-resolution, zoom in to the highest magnification in the browser-viewer, then right-click save. Template:Div col begin

Official Records of the War of the Rebellion

The Official Records of the War of the Rebellion are a collection of primary sources of the civil war in the form of reports and correspondence of the armies and navies of the Union and the Confederacy. Material from both sides was collected during and in the decades after the war and edited into over 100 volumes.
