Collaboration and advice on sources
Hello, Schierbecker! I would like to start contributing content to articles about artillery and armored fighting vehicles. I notice that you have compiled an extensive list of reliable, in-depth sources; would the works of Fred Crismon make a good addition to the list? They are extremely detailed and available to read on OpenLibrary/Internet Archive. Huntthetroll (talk) 01:34, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- User:Huntthetroll Yes, I agree that would make a good addition. Thank you for the suggestion. I'll add later as I am feeling unwell. Schierbecker (talk) 05:37, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
Congratulations from the Military History Project

I saw the tag you added - I'll fix that before the TFA but it'll be several days before I get the chance. Hog Farm Talk 02:54, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
- User:Hog Farm, thanks. I recently visited Fort Davidson (also stealth camped inside the earthworks of the fort). I was surprised from reading the Battle of Glasgow article that the Confederates regarded Pilot Knob as a loss? I've never read explicitly otherwise, but I did know that Price very deludedly thought the campaign as a whole was an outstanding success. Schierbecker (talk) 13:03, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
- Does this resolve your concern with the lack of clarity? I've visited Fort Davidson myself, but it's been a couple years. The battle article is on my list of things to try to bring to FA eventually. The battle is considered to be a Confederate defeat due to the lopsided casualties and the later effects it had on Price's campaign. Hog Farm Talk 23:51, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, it does. Thanks. Schierbecker (talk) 02:37, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
