Kangaroo court?
"presiding over the kangaroo court that resulted in the execution of Henry Wirz for the Union deaths at Andersonville prison" Having looked at the Wiki article on the Wirz trial to refresh my memory, it was controversial, but I do not think a consensus of opinion exists to justify labeling it, without qualification, a "kangaroo court." It was a court-martial; it was a war-crimes trial; it was just a "trial." It seems like the pro-Confederate editorializing inherent in the phrase "kangaroo court" is both questionable, and out of place in an article about a building. 71.86.117.123 (talk) 09:11, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Importance Rating
I don't understand why this is article is rated of 'High Importance' in the National Register of Historic Places? The location is the study of a minor general in the U.S. Army. He has some literary note and had some minor roles in the national government, i.e., foreign affairs. All of his activities had insignificant impact on national policy, development or society. I'd assume 'mid-importance' just on the number of areas he was involved in. I'd recommend are review and change in the importance rating.Chris Light (talk) 00:43, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
 * It's a National Historic Landmark. While I agree with your underlying assertion, assessments aren't subjective and our opinions don't matter much here. The WP:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places has an assessment guidance page for helping editors to make such determinations. The page history here shows an edit on 15 January 2011 by User:Dudemanfellabra, a member and frequent contributor to the WikiProject NRHP (and not a frequent contributor to the page). This editor left an edit summary as "high importance nrhp; site is an NHL". In this assertion, Dudemanfellabra is exactly correct. As the "importance scale" on the assessment guidance page shows of the roughly 85,000 NRHPs, only about 2500 are designated by the US Department of the Interior as National Historic Landmarks, and that all such designated places are to be rated as "high" importance. If you wish to dispute the assessment you should take your discussion to the project's talk page. For my part, I agree with the assessment. BusterD (talk) 05:55, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
