Detailed History of Transfer of Remains of Confederate Fallen

[edit]

I found an article at a site that is blacklisted on Wikipedia (associatedcontent dot com). The article can be found by searching for its title, "The Forgotten: Confederate Soldiers Who Died at Gettysburg" on the Internet. It contains interesting information, some of which seems well sourced. However references to the specific people who were instrumental in transferring the remains does not seem to be sourced. If sources can be found, I think this information would be a good addition to this article. Krellkraver (talk) 13:12, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tried to fix typo, but unable to do so

[edit]

I wanted to remove the spaces on either side of the quoted title that appears in the Reference section, number 28. But as you can see below with copy and paste, they are actually tiny, tiny little pixel-sized dots. Highlight by right clicking if you can't see them. They don't show up in the edit window, so I don't know how to effect a correction.

Major update/Infoxbox change

[edit]

First and foremost, I noticed that this article is really... well, jumbled. If its ok, i'd like to start an update, most specifically the references. The ref list is not to wiki standard and the cites should be placed in the article and not separated at the bottom. There's a lot of missing data. This is the kind of work I enjoy and would love the chance to do. Also, is it ok to swap out the Geobox for the NHRP and cemetery infoboxes or whichever may be appropriate. Appreciate any feedback. I'll start the cleanup as soon as possible but wait on the boxes until I get some idea on what to use. Thanks! FriarTuck1981 (talk) 08:40, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Notable burials

[edit]

Articles on cemeteries often include a section listing "notable burials." I certainly would not argue that all of the dead from the Battle of Gettysburg are, in a sense, notable. But would it be appropriate to nonetheless mention a few specific burials? For instance... George Nixon (the great-grandfather of the President) and Amos Humiston?
