[edit] John Lovewell (Junior)
Aside from the fact that he once used them, why is John Lovewell (Junior) listed as a "see also" in Snowshoes? I hope you'll keep working on cleaning up the Lovewell article - he seems like an interesting guy, but the text reads like it was written in 1730. -Willmcw 01:42, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Welcome!
Hi Marc29th, welcome to Wikipedia. I saw your addition of the Royalton Raid pages and I'm glad to see people contributing content about Vermont and I encourage you to be bold and add more. I hope you enjoy it here. If you need help on how to name new articles, look at Naming Conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the Manual of Style. If you need general help, look at Help and the FAQ, and if you can't find your answer there, check the Village pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions). There's still more help at the Tutorial and the Policy Library. Mel Etitis (who I borrowed some of this greeting from) has a new user talk page where he answers new user questions, or feel free to ask me or any other friendly faces around here.

[edit] New Hampshire Regiments
No problem, you think of joining the New Hampshire Wikiproject? Check it out!
I created the New Hampshire Militia page, but was uncertain of the association between the Militia and the Regiments. Also, do you know of the Militia and the Volunteers are one in the same? My goal is eventually bang out the New Hampshire National Guard pages. Assawyer 00:30, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks, that makes sense. You might be interested in the NH Army National Guard's history document: http://nharmyguard.com/documents/forPublic/NHPAM%20600-82-3.pdf There's some good info there! Assawyer 00:47, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

I am having a debate with myself over the naming convention of the NH Civil War regiments. Take the 1st for example. I have seen: 1st New Hampshire Volunteer Regiment, 1st New Hampshire Volunteers, 1st New Hampshire Volunteer Infantry, 1st Regiment Infantry. In the NH National Guard history, it lists the group as the "1st New Hampshire Volunteers." I was wondering if you could shed some light on the most appropriate naming convention.

- Thanks for the advice. Assawyer 23:32, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
Looks good! You have contributed a lot towards the New Hampshire Wikiproject. Thanks for all the good work! I am going to try and get more of the NH Civil War volunteer regiments. Assawyer 13:45, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I might have some errors in the Continental Army
I am the guy trying to distinguish the ranks of the people in the Continental Army. I may have some errors, in that there is no good resource online for distinguishing state militias from Continental Army regulars. Most of the biographies don't mention which they belonged to, or assume someone is from the CA, even though more research shows they were from state militias. I wish the DAR would put their data online, so we don't have to do all the work that they already did. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 00:04, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
Maybe you can think of a more inclusive category name that would cover everyone up to the point of the US Army. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 00:22, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks
I must say that it is a complicated project and the more of us working together will complete this project. Any ideals? I got some like - listing the brigades by time periods and a main listing of the continental army by periods. I see that you are more into the british regiments - thats good hopefully by combining the two interests we can achieve some good articles. Oldwildbill 00:35, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
- Good ideals. I believe the brigades and divisional (departments for this time period) would more then likely be done yearly, with the units dates of inclusion. I also think their should be articles started for the loyalists units that participated during this time period. It would allow an evening of the wiki to be not just slanted with Americans input. Maybe you can start the stubs like you did for the american units and then I can jump in. I will be out of the net for awhile as I have to redeploy back to Iraq.Oldwildbill 21:20, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Darby Field
Hi Marc -- Good job on the Darby Field article. Could you confirm from your book source whether there is a mountainside meadow named "Darby Field", as added by a recent editor? If it does exist, it would be interesting to know precisely where. Thanks! Ken Gallager 19:56, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reply. I've gone ahead and removed the statement from both places for now. Even if true (which I'm still not sure of), it's not widely published (doesn't appear in AMC literature, for instance), and it seems a bit too whimsical for the articles it's gone in.
