Hello, I think I've addressed your valid concerns with the new fixes. Have a look and let me know. Take care.MarmadukePercy (talk) 20:51, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your message. I would be happy to participate in the project, and as you say, it would lend added meaning to research into the past. Just let me know what you need me to do next. Best, MarmadukePercy (talk) 20:35, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I hope you got the e-mail I sent you via Wikipedia with info on how to order a test. I've already paid for a 37-marker test, and I just need to tell them which kit number the funds should go to. If you have second thoughts, that's alright too. There's a great deal of people that don't want to do this kind of thing! The27thMaine (talk) 00:50, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, sorry, I was planning to respond to your email this evening. Full speed ahead at this end. Many thanks. MarmadukePercy (talk) 01:05, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

No problem with the police car. It had been up there long enough, and I'm happy not to be the only one removing debatable entries. As for the Woodman Institute, I think there's enough info in that section to warrant its own article. Would you be interested in creating it? --Ken Gallager (talk) 12:15, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry
I don't think I understand the call up here. If Lincoln asked the state governors to raise an army within their respective states, by Title 32 of the United States Code, that is raising to militia army (guardsmen). Lincoln is then, by Title 10 of the United States Code calling the militia forces up for temporary federal active duty to completmement the regular army forming the Union Army. Also if I'm reading the history right, Robert Shaw was commissioned as an officer by each of the states governors that he served under to serve in the state's volunteer army but he did not hold a regular army commission by the President of the United States. In other words, if he were to have survived the Civil War and into the dispersement of the Union Army, he would no longer be in federal service and his rank would not carry over to the regular army.

My question is if a state volunteer forces are not militia under temporary federal call up for service, then what are they classified as? Neovu79 (talk) 17:41, 1 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Though the states were needed to raise their own volunteer regiments, they were afterwards mustered into Federal/Confederate service, and now under orders from the War Departments. There were still militias within the states, though under control of their respective governing bodies for in-state use. These state units were the core of the early enlistments, as they were already trained men-at-arms and quick to organize. Some of the Massachusetts regiments did use "Volunteer Militia" in their names, due to the fact that most of the recruits were previously in state run units before the war. With the 54th Massachusetts, this regiment was raised using new recruits, except for some of the officers transferred from other regiments, solely for the purpose of Federal use, thus not a militia.
 * There were many who ended up reenlisting in the Regular Army, and I suppose that any position they held in a prior state raised regiment would be taken into consideration when joining a new unit. Had Shaw survived, and chosen to reenlist or transfer into the Regular Army, I'm sure his time as a colonel would greatly affect the next rank given him.

Spelling of Albuquerque
Yes. Wikipedia has a weak search engine, so editors are encouraged to put in redirect pages for any likely misspellings. That way, when people type the wrong thing in the search box they'll still get the article they want. This does mean you have to be wary when writing material. A good practice (that I follow often but not always) is to click each link in the article and make sure it goes to the right place, and that it gets there without a redirect. --Uncia (talk) 04:08, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Father's death
Glad to see you added reference to the circumstances (exact battle) of the father's death. I was searching high and low for that one! Glad to have the puzzle solved.MarmadukePercy (talk) 00:19, 11 January 2009 (UTC)


 * It took me several hours! I searched through all my Maine Civil War Adjutant report's and came up with nothing - that's when I started searching beyond the state. It didn't help that the 1990 Update to the Descendants of Thomas Leavitt had his death as 3 August instead of the 30th. Did you know that John Leavitt, father to George Washington and Joseph, transcribed all the letters he received from his sons, and they're in a book at the University of Virginia (link to write-up)? Joseph was mortally wounded at Spottsylvania, and Capt John actually went down to the hospital in Alexandria,VA to see him before he died and wrote home about the conditions of his son. I wonder if Portland historical society also has a copy of this? The27thMaine (talk) 13:47, 11 January 2009 (UTC)


 * This is absolutely astonishing! What an amazing find! I sure hope that Portland has a copy. Wow. MarmadukePercy (talk) 17:44, 11 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Incidentally, not sure if you came across this reference, which gave me a chuckle. Further proof that in these lean times for publishing, there are no researchers doublechecking 'facts' in authors' works. MarmadukePercy (talk) 19:22, 11 January 2009 (UTC)


 * No, I didn't see that! I've answered a few genealogical queries that turned out to be Russian/Polish Leavitt families, though none were already members of NALF. I wonder if the 'a' was tossed into the surname after entering the States as it was back in the 1630's? The27thMaine (talk) 00:57, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

I have a question on military protocol, of which I know you are quite knowledgeable (and I am wholly ignorant). Why, do you suppose, a native of Portland, Maine, would enlist with a New York regiment? Was this pretty common? Or uncommon? His brother Joseph signed up with a Maine regiment, which makes sense to me. But I can't figure (I know very little about this) why his brother would enlist in New York, unless he was already somehow involved there in business. Does that make sense? Thanks! MarmadukePercy (talk) 23:18, 11 January 2009 (UTC)


 * George W was absent from Portland during the 1860 census - Helen E (Green) Leavitt was living with her parents. I don't see a match for him elsewhere, and tried different spellings in New York City area. He's not even listed in the 1858 Portland street directory (which has father John as trader and brother Joseph as shipmaster). I'm thinking that he must have been down there either for schooling or work when he signed up, or maybe following the sea, and was staying over in NYC. He wasn't part of the initial recruitment of the 5th (Duryee's Zouaves), as they left for Virginia in May and G W didn't muster in until 8 July. The History of the 5th NY book mentions additional new recruits joing them (26 enlisting on 6 July for 3 years, 100 men showing up on 20 July), so he was part of a later enlistment drive. Brother Edward May Leavitt supposedly served as well, in the Navy (I still need to research him, as pages in the 1990 Thomas Leavitt update have conflicting dates).

Fremont, NH
Hi - Would you mind checking the Fremont, New Hampshire article? I found that I had to revert your edits, because they removed a large amount of valid information. Did you perhaps edit an old version of the article by accident? Anyway, I found that I couldn't tell what, if any, of your new edits should be kept, so I hope you won't mind looking at it again to restore what you meant to include. Thanks, --Ken Gallager (talk) 15:56, 20 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm glad you had this page on your watch list - I sure messed up there! Somehow, I was looking at an old version from 2007, saw two image urls that were redlinked, and deleted them (and, as it turns out, two years of edits along with it). I DID notice the high amount of negative bytes listed after I did this and thought it was a little too high for the two lines I deleted. I think I was looking at NH Historical Markers before this, and must have been looking at contributions an editor had made elsewhere in NH. Sorry about this!

General Joseph Martin
Thanks for warding off those vandals. They just never seem to let up, do they? (Like Batman's Joker...) You're right about contacting that chapter of the DAR. General Martin was quite a fellow. I grew up hearing stories about him and his (sometimes outrageous) exploits, not to mention his Indian wife and child. I tried to be impartial (NPOV, lol) about him, but he was my ancestor. Thanks for looking after him. He would appreciate it. :-) Regards, MarmadukePercy (talk) 23:42, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Hiram
Nice to see that you added that stuff to Hiram's background. The New Hampshire native chose a pretty spot to move to. It's very pretty up in the eastern Sierras there, not to mention some good fishing.MarmadukePercy (talk) 20:55, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of History of Marshfield, Massachusetts
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article History of Marshfield, Massachusetts, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Substantial copy of Marshfield, Massachusetts.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. – PranksterTurtle (talk) 18:12, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

This whole thing is outrageous. 27thMaine is interferring with my work for harassment purposes. I did extensive research and put a whole lot of time and effort into writing the Marshfield article. I wrote most of the article. 27th Maine had no involvement with this page at all. But out of nowhere he shows up and tore apart my work and moved part of it to another page without even discussing it with me first. I was editing another section and a few minutes later when I looked back at the main page, much of it was gone. The manner in which he did this strongly indicates that he acted out of mean-spiritedness, rather than an effort to be constructive. I think he took such action because I objected to a couple of smaller edits that he made earlier in the day. I guess I offended his male ego. Behavior such as his discourages authors from contributing, since it is like a hijacking of someone's project. While constructive editing is valuable, when editing is done in a manner to frustrate and aggravate someone that should not be tolerated by Wikipedia. It is another form of vandalism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by PilgrimRose (talk • contribs) 16:58, 22 March 2009 (UTC)


 * As the amount of free time I have is very limited, I clearly have better things to do than find someone on Wikipedia to harrass. I was simply looking through Massachusetts pages that needed tidying, found the one on Marshfield, and cleaned up a few not-so-notable persons (with no wikipedia article on them), as well as an external link (The official Aerosmith website link because a couple members live in town?) that really only added to the overwhelming size of the page. Then, as I saw happen with Lowell, Massachusetts, with the history section moved to its own page due its size, I thought it best to give the history of Marshfield its own page. I didn't touch any of your writing, and only enhanced the headings above the paragraphs to make a table of contents, in proper Wikipedia style. If I was simply a vandal, I would have instead cut parts out of the extensive history to keep the size of the page within its limits.

Marshfield is worthy of its own history page, and anyone going to the main town article have a clear link to the new page. I love what you've done so far, and look forward to reading more about the town. I've got pilgrim blood in me from some line, though not sure off the top of my head which one.

Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

March Madness 2017
G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:


 * tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
 * updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
 * creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Nominations for both awards are open between 00:01 on 2 December 2017 and 23:59 on 15 December 2017. After this, a 14-day voting period will follow commencing at 00:01 on 16 December 2017. Nominations and voting will take place on the main project talkpage: here and here. Thank you for your time. For the co-ordinators, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:35, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
