[edit] Split?
I suggest the two General Order No. 11's be split up into two separate articles as they seem to not have any relevance to each other outside of taking place in the Civil War. It took me a second reading to understand this, and others may be easily confused. Thoughts? Comments? - Hinotori 11:32, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
- Strongly agree. They are different orders that happen to have similar names. Best idea is to split them and make this article a disambiguation page. 168.12.253.82 15:54, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
- I see someone's taken care of that. Thanks! I was going to do it myself, barring objections, but nice to see it done already. :) Hinotori 01:15, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Standardizing the Text Format
The two different orders are presented in their original text but in slightly different format. Regardless of whether or not the article is split in two (see other suggestion), I think consistency would be good. Which format is better or more used? - Hinotori 11:31, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Exact text
Some of the text in this article is the exact text from one source. Should this be rephrased or quoted...? --Hazelorb
- Do you mean the text of the order or some commentary on the order? Either way, an exact quote should be marked off to indicate its origin. -Willmcw 06:58, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] main page???
why is this in the main page? so a few hasidic cotton merchants got kicked out of a state, whinged and then got let back in? didnt people DIE on this date or some shit of way more historical importance??? just another example of how america/jews own wikipedia.58.107.175.127 01:44, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
Wow, you are a terribly hateful person. -Bill
- Take a look at the user's talk page. This comment is par for the course for this guy. -- Mwalcoff 05:17, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] A fine example of Wikipedia's strengths
I had absolutely no idea about this brief chapter in American history --its this "repository of human history" effect that so many like me find appealing about this site. Good work, all.--A Good Anon 06:48, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
- I agree. A very interesting article. I've read a lot about the Civil War and also a recent Grant biography, but never encountered this subject before. Here's to hoping that Wikipedia's strengths can win out over its weaknesses. 207.69.139.6 21:09, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
