Talk:List of American Civil War Medal of Honor recipients: A–F

Discussions
Some names mentioned in the Army source (cited in the article) do not appear on this list. Specifically, HENRY G. BONEBRAKE. Why? Rklawton (talk) 22:16, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I see Henry Bonebrake on our list. jwillbur 19:23, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * So he is. My browser's "find" feature failed to pick it up.  Rklawton (talk) 20:00, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Split
Proposed that the page be split in A-E and F-L pages to improve usability. Mbisanz (talk) 07:50, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Due to the large number of Medal of Honor recipient lists already I do not recommend this.--Kumioko (talk) 15:39, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't see the number of pages as a problem - it's just a split list for usability. The pages are otherwise the same in format and content type.  Rklawton (talk) 15:41, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia isn't paper, and we've already broken the list up once based on names. Plus we have that great info-box with the links that will make it easy to use.   If someone is looking for a specific person, then they'd search their names.  If they are looking for a general name (fuzzy search) then they'd still need to know the general area of the alphabet. Mbisanz (talk) 15:50, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Consider how categories are displayed. The software breaks the page up into 200 element chunks.  Splitting this article into four (or eight) pieces, by contrast, is no big deal - and it's precedent.  Rklawton (talk) 15:54, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * We also should consider that the current breakup is consistent with the breakup on Most of the Source Medal of Honor pages and changing it here could be confusing to the readers.--Kumioko (talk) 04:07, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
 * By my count there are 116 pages that link to this page. That should be easy enough to correct using AWB to replace it for indivduals and hand corrections for the other dozen or some List of lists style pages.  Really not as bad as I thought it would be. As far as the sources section, they'll still point to a valid Disambig. Mbisanz (talk) 04:11, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

August Dorley / August Doerle
On August Dorley, Find A Grave has him listed in under two different names/entries. This one: Find-A-Grave shows a tombstone as "August Doerle" and the FAG listing uses that name. This other one: has the same tombstone, but the FAG listing is under August Dorley.--S. Rich (talk) 06:45, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Above and beyond
I'm concerned about the language on this series of pages that speaks to "above and beyond the call of duty" when that requirement had not yet been added to the qualifications for the award. The trooper at Little Bighorn who chased the runaway mule certainly didn't do that. It's a kind of boiler plate that I think needs to be tweaked. I'm not the lead editor here, so I'm just leaving this as a thought.-- Georgia Army Vet Contribs Talk 20:08, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
