Recent edits to ACW regimental articles

Good morning. Please take a few minutes to read the WP:MOSICON policy. Modern or post-war state flags were deemed inappropriate by American Civil War task force well over a year ago. When images of the units' flags are available (from any point during the war), then those images are used.

Additionally, please do not change unit numerical designations within articles (ex: "2nd" to "Second"). User Hal Jesperson has created very helpful guides to editing ACW articles for consistency: User:Hlj/CWediting and User:Hlj/CWbibliography.

We've got an active sub-group of military history editors working on ACW articles. If you have questions, feel free to drop by the American Civil War task force. Folks will help you.

Many thanks. Spacini (talk) 14:06, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

2nd Missouri Volunteer Cavalry

Re: User:WSS Regt Historian/2nd Missouri Volunteer Cavalry

Hi, can we get this moved into mainspace, so that it can be audited for WP:MILHIST's ACW cleanup of all articles using Dyer's Compendium of the War of the Rebellion. If you're interested in such Civil War articles, there is a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history#ACW regimental articles regarding proposals and what we're doing, as there are ~540 such articles really need sorting out and developing. This 2nd Missouri page should be included though, as it does not appear to have been updated since April 2011, might as well move it so that we don't neglect it.

Hi. When you recently edited 7th Missouri Volunteer Infantry, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Celtic and Republican Party (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Speedy deletion nomination of 21st Missouri Volunteer Infantry

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on 21st Missouri Volunteer Infantry requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Response to Deletion of 21st Missouri Volunteer Infantry

Response from WSS Regt Historian: Re: Deletion of 21st Missouri Volunteer Infantry. It is unclear what material was copyrighted, as almost all the material in the WIKI page came from "Dyer's Compendium" a text out of copyright. I am unable to evaluate potential violation, as the page is already deleted. It is possible that an external link to a page related to the 21st Missouri ( http://mo21infantry.tripod.com/21inf.html ) was perceived as a source of text, rather than an associated link.--WSS Regt Historian (talk) 13:55, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

Follow-Up. The alleged "copyrighted material" at http://www.wellsclan.us/History/generatn/21regmnt.htm was not material created by that website, but was an extract from Dyer, Frederick H. A Compendium of the War of the Rebellion (Des Moines, IA: Dyer Pub. Co.), 1908. "Dyer's" is a text in the public domain, and is used as a (or the) source document for most of the Wikipedia entries for Union regiments from the American Civil War. My article in Wikipedia used an extract from "Dyer's", as did the author of the page at the wellsclan.us website (working separately). The wellsclan.us website in question states that the information page is an extract from "Dyer's", as was the deleted page on the 21st Missouri Volunteer Infantry. There were NO plagiarism, and NO copyright infringement, they were created separately extracting the same document which is now in the public domain. Please reinstate the deleted Wiki page for the 21st Missouri Volunteer Infantry.--WSS Regt Historian (talk) 19:20, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
