Maryland in the American Civil War

edit

Hi KevinLuna83, I see you have twice deleted the contemporary quote "even though we have the constitutional authority to take such action". It may or may not be the case that Maryland had the right to secede from the Union in 1861. But what is surely not in doubt is that the legislature believed that they had that right, though they in fact chose not to exercise it. ---Asteuartw (talk) 07:44, 21 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Antietam

edit

According to McClellan's official battle report, the Union casualties were 2,010 killed, 9,416 wounded, 1,043 missing, and 12,469 total. http://antietam.aotw.org/exhibit.php?exhibit_id=19 KevinLuna83 (talk) 04:04, 22 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. We usually use secondary sources for this. As you can see from footnote #3, there is a range of published figures and the ones in the information box seem to be about the consensus. Hal Jespersen (talk) 01:55, 29 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Why did you change the wording of a quotation?

edit

At Mesha Stele you changed the name Jehavah to Yahweh, despite the fact that it is a quotation. Why? Dougweller (talk) 10:37, 8 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

I changed it because it's a misquote. The god's name is Yahweh, not Jehovah. KevinLuna83 (talk) 10:45, 8 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
It is not a misquote, I checked it. The sources uses Jehovah. You can't make changes in a quotation on the basis that you think it's wrong. Dougweller (talk) 11:29, 16 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Jackson's Valley Campaign, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page James Shields (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Mountain Department moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Mountain Department, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
