Talk:Beaver Dam Plantation

cavalry regiment
The article currently cites the Confederate 4th Tennessee Cavalry, but the Nathan Bedford Forrest article mentions his command of the 3rd Tennessee Cavalry. Maybe 3rd was meant, or maybe there was another regiment formed though. I don't see a Wikipedia article about this regiment; this is not the 4th Regiment Tennessee Volunteer Cavalry, which was a Union regiment. --Doncram (talk) 19:20, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
 * The article was created as a referenced stub, but an editor who claims their family owns the property added a lot of unreferenced content. I think we should err on the side of caution and remove it until we can find more RS.Zigzig20s (talk) 19:34, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

unsourced material
Some material added in 2016 has been questioned, because there are not explicit sources given. I added some "citation needed" tags. I posted approximately the following at User talk:DenizenofBD:


 * Hi, you contributed to the Beaver Dam Plantation article back in 2016 -- thank you! -- and your edit summaries visible here indicated that there were documents/sources available. Could you possibly help me or others get access to any of those documents, or could you possibly provide more specifics so that a local librarian or anyone else might be able to access them? It is okay that documents are not available online, i.e. books and newspaper clippings and even primary-type documents can be okay to use as sources in Wikipedia, though wp:PRIMARY ones are supposed to be used with care, perhaps only for non-controversial assertions. It would be great to get it developed a bit more and to add explicit sources. It is important for wikipedia to have sourcing to reliable sources, i.e. ones that can (perhaps with some effort) be confirmed by others.


 * Unfortunately a long time has passed by and I am afraid you might not be reachable now. It is possible that someone else might remove the text that you added, due to lack of explicit sources. If that happens, please do make contact at the Talk page of the article or your Talk page or ask for help at wp:Teahouse, or feel free to contact me at my Talk page to get my attention. --Doncram (talk) 19:36, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
