Chantilly Union order of battle
III Corps was a Corps of the Army of Virginia. It was not one of the Army of Potomac Corps, such as II Corps, which was assigned to the Army of Virginia for the Northern Virginia campaign. After Chantilly when the Army of Virginia was dissolved, III Corps was reassigned to the Army of the Potomac and renumbered to the 'I' Corps. III Corps of the Army of Virginia was different from the III Corps of the Army of the Potomac. As for IX Corps, it doesn't matter since the number didn't change, but at the time it was IX Corp Army of Virginia. C2equalA2plusB2 (talk) 23:16, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

Seven Pines Confederate order of battle
Aloha. Apparently we have different ideas of formatting. I'll desist, at least temporarily: I was trying to bring a little more conformity among the ANV OB pages. Can you enlighten me as to why serial initials (e.g., "A.P. Hill") require an intervening space? It appears "Hampden (Virginia)" may be confused with "Hampton" elsewhere on the Web. I haven't found the former in Virginia. I realize it COULD be renamed (e.g., New Hampden, Highland County; or Hampden, Mingo County, in what is now West Virginia)--LMK if you know the origin.

barnstar
Thanks. I have now received two barnstars from people I don't know in two days. Is there some barnstar program underway or something? Hal Jespersen (talk) 16:03, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
 * No barnstar program, i only like your articles. --Kitt1987 (talk) 16:45, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Spotsylvania Court House Confederate order of battle
Just in case you want to improve the article, the Manual of Style says headings should not be wikilinked. I already fixed that problem once and you reverted me, and I really don't feel like doing the same work twice, so I wont. Best regards and happy editing. --Muhandes (talk) 15:54, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Same for Wilderness Confederate order of battle. I am removing these from my watchlist. --Muhandes (talk) 08:47, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

Wilderness Union order of battle
My amendement are inclused in official order, Why you cancelled? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.227.215.155 (talk) 09:32, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

The Wilderness Union order of battle covers only the period from May 5-7, 1864! Please note that before you change an article! And when you make a change like that, use the footnotes, with citation! Kitt1987 (talk) 07:04, 3 April 2013 (UTC) This is because in the Overland Campaign is not presented an official order of battle of the Overland Campaign! Our amendement are presented in "The civil war archive" section "Union regimental index" Regards

reverted a revision
I noticed that you reverted a revision that I recently made to Atlanta Campaign Confederate order of battle‎. I had added a Wikilink to the article on Keys Battery, or the Helena Light Artillery. What was the problem with this edit? Reverting edits with out discussing on the talk page can lead to unproductive disagreements. Aleutian06 (talk) 14:07, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
 * No problem, thanks for responding! Aleutian06 (talk) 20:38, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

9th Pennsylvania Reserves
Thank you for your corrections to my edits of the Union orders of battle for both the Wilderness and Spotsylvania Court House. I had two sources which indicated that the 9th Pennsylvania Reserves were ordered to return to Pennsylvania for muster out after both battles. On further investigation, I have found definitive proof that the regiment was ordered home on May 4, 1864: "On the very day that the campaign was inaugurated, and while standing in the front line in the Wilderness ready for battle, orders were unexpectedly received for the regiment to return to Washington. The term of service had expired, the first of the Reserve regiments, and quitting the field on the 4th of May, it proceeded to Harrisburg, and thence to Pittsburg, where it arrived on the 8th, and on the 13th was mustered out of service." Thanks for keeping me on my toes. Spacini (talk) 17:41, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Deletion of stuff in various Orders of Battle
Hey. I know that you are strict with sources and am fine with it, thought it would be nice if you would occasionally talk to the people or at least leave edit summaries; a few weeks ago you scared away another kid. And could you please be more careful when deleting stuff ? I´m asking because you´ve, several times now, deleted my wikifications from the remaining content as well and this doubles my work there, too. Thanks in advance ...

Question
Hello Kitt1987! I was wondering why you reverted my edits to Chancellorsville Confederate order of battle that are here: |here? I intended to point the links to those ranks away from the US Army/generic United States ones, and toward their descriptions within the Confederate Army.Kresock (talk) 04:54, 15 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Hello. The current Military ranks are the standard in every order of battle. That's the reason why reverted the edits. --Kitt1987 (talk) 15:07, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

OK, so the consensus is to retrofit Confederate Army Orders of Battle into today's abbreviations in the US Army, and wiki-links to ranks these men never held in the US Army? Kresock (talk) 15:49, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

Seven Days Union Order of Battle
Edwin Sumner and Samuel Heintzelman were definitely major generals during the Seven Days; both had been promoted following the Battle of Williamsburg. Both were also wounded by stray musket balls at Glendale, although Sumner did not appear to have suffered any significant injury. Heintzelman however was unable to use one hand for a few weeks. The remaining corps commanders were not promoted to major general until after the Seven Days--William Franklin and Fitz-John Porter received promotions in July 1862, Erasmus Keyes not until March 1863 (although he outranked Franklin and Porter).

70.44.223.30 (talk) 07:29, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

Both generals were appointed after the Seven Days on July 16, 1862.


 * Edwin Sumner → appointment 16 July 1862 / Date of rank 05 May 1862 (Eicher, p. 705)
 * Samuel Heintzelman → appointment 16 July 1862 / Date of rank 05 May 1862 (Eicher, p. 703)

Disposition of the Reserve Corps artillery
The 2nd NY Heavy Artillery/11th NY Light Artillery/1st NY Battery C are listed in most Second Manassas OOBs (for example, Collins's "The Army of the Potomac: Orders of Battle 1861-65) and should be included here. They were however not involved in the main battle. On August 27, Battery C and the 11th NY Light Artillery were chased from Manassas Junction by Fitz Lee's cavalry with a significant amount of prisoners and guns taken. The remaining men withdrew to Centreville where they were reinforced by the 2nd NY Heavy Artillery and the 1st Massachusetts Heavy Artillery. 70.44.223.30 (talk) 12:08, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

That Battle lasted from August 28-30, 1862.

"They were however not involved in the main battle" → That's the reason why they are not include.

Wilderness Order of Battle
May I ask why you are deleting the note on Alexander Hays, please? Hhfjbaker (talk) 16:29, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

If someone wants to learn more about his death he should read the "Alexander Hays" page. It's standard on all OOB's to show only the abbreviations: w = wounded, mw = mortally wounded, k = killed, c = captured

Wilderness Confederate order of battle
- Yesterday you reverted a Wiki–link for the 15th Alabama Infantry Regiment in Wilderness Confederate order of battle. I don't see any reason for this. Also, I added the regiment's commander and Wiki–linked it too. The source was commented out because the citation system does not appear to be Harvard, however the comment says the source is Rhea page 305. Gordon C. Rhea is the author of the most detailed book on the battle: The Battle of the Wilderness May 5-6, 1864. What's going on? Why are you reverting those edits?

Wilderness Confederate Order of Battle
I see you've undone the changes made to the Wilderness OOB. I would like to know why it was reverted. The numbers are from a source already referenced on the page (Alfred C. Young III's "Lee's Army During The Overland Campaign: A Numerical Study"). I felt, with the figures given, it would be helpful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ThoughtfulPug (talk • contribs) 21:43, 28 June 2022 (UTC)


 * In the other Order of Battles the numbers of the Troops are also not shown. All the articles should follow the same standards. Kitt1987 (talk) 13:56, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
 * The reason why other Orders of Battle do not have them is because a.) there isn't any definitive information regarding it, or b.) no one has bothered to include them out of laziness. Alfred C. Young's book with the numbers is listed in the references. Why would you include it in references if you are not going to incorporate the information from that source? 162.247.87.169 (talk) 17:57, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
 * The articles are about the army organization. If you wanna include the numbers you should start a new chapter → https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlanta_campaign_Confederate_order_of_battle#Strengths Kitt1987 (talk) 14:12, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I appreciate the suggestion. However, I must say I am not entirely familiar with how to create a table such as that. If you mind helping me with it, I would appreciate. ThoughtfulPug (talk) 18:55, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I added the table withe the numbers → https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilderness_Confederate_order_of_battle#Strengths Kitt1987 (talk) 17:16, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I cannot thank you enough. I'll see if I can add in similar tables for Spotsylvania and Cold Harbor OOBs. ThoughtfulPug (talk) 20:14, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes of course. If you need help just let me know. Kitt1987 (talk) 13:42, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

undoing my edit for no reason
I asked you once to explain why when rv-ing my edit so I don't have to rv it back but you haven't done so.

The edit was to fix a missing end tag Linter error, why would you undo it for no reason? Sheep (talk) 16:04, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
