[edit] Copyright

This material is all from an out-of-print book from a long-dead author. I don't really see how anyone can have a copyright on re-stating this material and I'm not sure why it was placed on copyrigth violation. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Brockmanah (talk • contribs) 9:52, 11 January 2006.

It was marked as a copyright violation as you didn't provide the source and it's a direct match to websites that also don't list the source. As such, it could only be assumed it was from those sites and therefore under copyright. Please remember to sign your talk page contributions. It's also a good idea to use subject headings. Thanks! -- JLaTondre 01:43, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikify

This article is not in a format appropriate for a Wikipedia biography article. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies). If you'd like to see some examples of Civil War bio articles, look at the list in User:Hlj. Hal Jespersen 23:00, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

OK, I lost patience. I don't think you took advantage of the examples I pointed you to. The one irregularity I left in place was the prominent inclusion of his brother. He should have his own article if he's of any significance. I removed that photo of Marye's Heights because it was irrelevant (at least based on the text you provided).
