[edit] William Wells
Thanks for creating the article for William Wells. I made some rather drastic style changes to bring it more in line with other biographies of Civil War personalities. See User:Hlj/CWediting for more information on the style guide that I follow. Nice article - keep them coming! Scott Mingus 20:54, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Copy-paste moves
Please don't copy and paste material in order to change the title of a page, but instead use the "Move" tab, which means that all the edits remain in the history. Thanks, Mak (talk) 07:22, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Argh! Could you please save me some time and just tell me which articles you copied and pasted from that website? Mak (talk) 07:35, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wells / Grant
Tom,
You need to place something in the articles regarding releasing the copyright from your website; else some guy continues to slap these with copyvio tags. Scott Mingus 21:30, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
Scott, check out Talk:William Wells (general), and the resubmission on the temporary page; hopefully that will work? If so, I'll fix Grant in similar fashion. Green Mountain Sailor 12:13, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

- Go ahead and fix Grant - keep the articles on vermont coming!!! By the way, I added a few folks to the Vermont in the Civil War category (congressmen / senators) to be consistent with similar categories for Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania and California. Scott Mingus 03:16, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] category is incorrectly capitalized
Category:Vermont Expatriates is incorrectly capitalized -- it should be at Category:Vermont expatriates. 02:04, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
