Pennsylvania Civil War articles
I saw you have a great interest in the Civil War. About 10 years ago, I did a lot of genealogical research and have some information about my family during that time. Not sure how this would work on Wikipedia, but perhaps you may find it of some interest Moll Family In The Civil War. All of that information is documented, and I have many pension and disability records which information was derived from. Enjoy :) Bwmoll3 (talk) 11:06, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

User:Target for Today
Just fyi, as I've stated here Sockpuppet_investigations/Long_Island_Lyn, it seems to me that User:Target for Today has abandoned his online ID, at least for now, and is editing as an anon IP, as of the last four days. best Shawn in Montreal (talk) 23:14, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I thought you might wish to know that User:Target for Today has resumed creating articles but places and features of the Gettysburg battlefield, some of which you may also judge to be overly narrow. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 17:51, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Apology
In case you missed my public apology on the Assessments page, here is my personal apology for criticizing your article submission on the Assessments page on 7 January. I was wrong. Keep up your good work on the American Civil War. Djmaschek (talk) 03:19, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Gettysburg articles
I just noticed there is a big discussion about deleting and merging all of those trivial Gettysburg articles. I don't think I have the stamina to participate in all of those discussions, but as the principal author of all of the major articles about the battle and campaign, I wanted to let you know that I support your effort. I have generally been keeping the main articles free of all of the distracting links, such as "Longstreet's assault" (even if that were a legitimate article candidate, the name is ludicrous because Longstreet conducted two major assaults in this battle alone), as well as the gratuitous citations/reference changes this guy has been making. I think it might be appropriate for a "Gettysburg encyclopedia" (and such a volume will be coming out this year or next from Savas-Beatie--I wrote a few articles for it) to include articles on micro subjects like "Wheatfield Road", but these things do not rise to separate notability on Wikipedia. They are notable only because a battle action occurred there and those actions are already described in the battle articles. So merging the many trivial locations into the Gettysburg Battlefield article and descriptions of some of the assaults into the First Day, Second Day, Pickett's Charge, etc., sub articles would be appropriate. By the way, I get frustrated when I see comments that imply Battle of Gettysburg is too short. It is a moderately long overview article that summarizes and points to nine sub articles, plus the Campaign and Retreat articles, some of which are quite lengthy themselves. Have I said happy new year to you yet, by the way? Happy new year. Hal Jespersen (talk) 00:26, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Q
Re this edit, you aren't sockpuppeting with User:76.7.231.130, are you? I don't want to assume, but I just wanted to leave a friendly warning before someone else drags you to SPI with a bunch of drama. Regards, Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 04:50, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
 * No, it is the IP address of the library where I usually edit Wikipedia. I have had a couple incidents of other people using my account while I had stepped away from my computer for a few minutes. Just some absent-mindedness. Wild Wolf (talk) 13:50, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
 * From the comment on the Wikiproject MILHIST talk page, it looks like that person is leaving Wikipedia, so hopefully there won't be any further problems. Wild Wolf (talk) 13:53, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Eternal Peace
Over referenced? very possibly. The article bears the hallmarks of having been assembled by trawling through newspaper archives and pressing the resultant snippets of information together into an article. The result also includes a lot of directly quoted text rather than making statements. Certainly fewer, more comprehensive citations would be appropriate given the relative shortness of the article for a more aesthetic look. Perhaps some book has been written on the subject of the memorials on the battlefield. As the versions are all stored, there is no great harm in trying to rework the article - you can always go back to an earlier version. GraemeLeggett (talk) 21:39, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

Biography banner
fyi... The Biography banner on talk pages does not have a "priority" parameter, so you don't need to add it. The banner uses individual work group parameters.... military-priority, musician-priority, sports-priority. Bgwhite (talk) 00:07, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Could you please stop adding the "priority" parameter to biographies. Only add military-priority and other work group priorities. Adding priority make the article to go onto a tracking category, which people then have to deal with and remove.

Petrovaradin order of battle
Greetings Wild Wolf...

Can you tell me do you have original text "Higgins, David R. "Peterwardein: Eugene Turns the Tide in Hungary 5 August 1716." in Strategy & Tactics, Number 248 (March/April 2008)". I would love to see full text and references for Ottoman army.

Thanks, Nenad nenad_seguljev"yahoo.com

I am sending this message
to all the editors involved in the rapidly expanding List of monuments of the Gettysburg Battlefield. I recently spun off the state monuments for Alabama, North Carolina, Virginia (and intend to do Pennsylvania soon), leaving only a token bit of each in the list. I named these articles to include the name of the battle Alabama State Monument (Gettysburg) because many states have monuments in several battlefields and it seemed that we might as well start preparing for Alabama State Monument (Vicksburg) right now. Someone then re-named those articles (yesterday?) and removed the name of the battle. (they also changed the picture of the North Carolina Monument that I had added that I think much better caught the spirit of Borglum's work, but that is another issue.) Furthermore, there is something really unexplained happening on the talk pages of the new articles,  If you click on the TALK tab at, say Virginia Monument (a really lame title, because how many of those are there across America?) you end up at the talk page of the list. What is that about? I would like to redirect these articles back to where they were redirected from yesterday, but unlike the editor who just did it, I'd like to involve all the interested editors.

Possible Vandalism?
I stumbled (using the Random Article link) across the article on William Magee (Medal of Honor). I suspect that the unsigned, unreferenced revision of 22:49 July 18 2010 is vandalism. I can find no verification of it in any web source. Yet the article has been edited several times since then, with no correction.

I have little expertise in Wikipedia and even less in Civil war matters. I leave it to you, as the most recent editor of the article, to make any changes you see fit.

Troop engagements of the American Civil War ACRs
Hi Wild Wolf, Thanks for nominating these articles for A class status. Given that the last set of nominations were unsuccessful (and, from memory, attracted few reviewers), I think it would be best to nominate one article initially and then use it as a model for the others when/if its review passes. You can leave all the nominations live if you wish, but I think that you'd improve your odds of success (and help make the best use of our sadly limited resources of reviewers) if you withdrew all but one of them. Regards, Nick-D (talk) 07:24, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
 * G'day, Wild Wolf, further to Nick's point, I would like to encourage you to get involved and review some of the other outstanding A-class nominations. The process relies on volunteers reviewing other editors' articles and if you are able to offer a few reviews yourself, it might help free up some of our other reviewers to look at your lists. Zawed's article on Herbert Ernest Hart probably needs another reviewer before it can be closed, so it might be a good article for you to review. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 22:31, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I think removal of all the listings, but one, would be an unnecessary over-reaction. The total "readable prose size" of the 5 articles combines comes to 4674 words, which is about 20 minutes of reading. Your average single-page ACR could just as easily reach that and would be manageable to copy-edit and review. It should be easy enough for a couple of editors to handle them "all as one". I have done a bit of tweaking and added dts to four of the lists that lacked it; the prose seems okay to me, at a glance, and the referencing is clearly comprehensive and well formatted. Can't imagine why anyone with reviewing experience couldn't knock all 5 on the head in one go, to save them being dragged through the ACR process one at a time, over months, when a bulk job seems more logical and time-efficient in the long run.  Ma &reg;&copy; usBr iti sh {chat} 07:53, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Hello gentlemen. These reviews have been closed now due to a lack of reviewers. Wild Wolf - I would encourage you to resubmit at a later date when all outstanding comments from the reviews (including the first round in Nov 12) have been implemented. It might pay just to nominate one of the articles in the series first and see what comments you get then apply the fixes to all the articles before nominating them (probably one by one so you don't flood ACR). Unfortunately a lot of the regulars there (myself included) don't seem to have much time for reviews at the moment so there is a considerable backlog. Hopefully this isn't too disheartening. Regards.

Proposed deletion of Bibliography of the American Revolutionary War


The article Bibliography of the American Revolutionary War has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * not an article and not a bibliography for American Revolutionary War. It's just a goodreads-style list of books.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
