Talk:Wilson's Creek National Battlefield

Confederate Failure
There's something of a disconnect between this article and the Battle of Wilson's Creek. The battle page declares a Missouri/Confederate victory, while this page declares it a "Confederate failure". Well, which is it? I think the reality is close to the disconnect, in that the battle was a tactical Confederate victory that the Confederates failed to capitalize into a greater strategic success. Something like the linked article says: "Although a Southern victory, the Southerners failed to capitalize on their success." --Steelviper 18:25, 1 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I was actually going to comment on this very thing. The Battle itself was indeed won by the Confederate army.  They just failed to properly hold the region because they evacuated the city after they captured it. I vote we change the wording to make this clear.  Theroguex (talk) 05:05, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

COPYVIO
Apparently almost the entire section about the battlefield today was copied almost word-for-word from the various sources. I've tried to rewrite to eliminate the COPYVIO, but if I missed something, please either fix the issue yourself or ping me. Thanks. Hog Farm (talk) 03:50, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
