[edit] William Harrow

Excellent work on the expansion! I performed a few formatting tweaks. Let me know if you have any questions. Hal Jespersen 15:22, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] quotes and other punctuation

Please see WP:MOS#Quotation_marks. Wikipedia has a "house style" which dictates where punctuation is placed in relation to quotes, so there was no need to make the changes you did to Great Fire of London. Not a huge problem (not too difficult for someone to go back and fix), but something you might want to know. Thanks! --Spangineerws (háblame) 19:18, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Confederate government of Kentucky

Thank you for your edits to Confederate government of Kentucky. You may or may not be aware that this article is currently a featured article candidate. Would you take a few minutes to add your comments to the nomination page? Thanks. Acdixon 19:10, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your support of my FA nom for Confederate government of Kentucky. This nomination has been restarted due to a high volume of irrelevant comments. If you still feel you can support this article for FA status, I would appreciate your re-adding your support. Thanks so much! Acdixon 14:03, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gen. Isaac Van Horne

You did not do that article any favours. —Preceding unsigned comment added by John5Russell3Finley (talk • contribs) 14:49, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Sir or Ma'm: you did not respond to my above comment, and I couldn't undo the mess you made so I reverted it as vandalism, if you want to totally reformat something like that please let author know before doing so, as it made things very much of a mess.John5Russell3Finley 20:30, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wilderness Confederate order of battle

What would you think about moving this article to Confederate order of battle at the Battle of the Wilderness? That seems to make more sense. Corvus cornix 21:05, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Ugh. I still hate it, but I wanted to clear it before I went and changed it. OK. Corvus cornix 21:09, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re:American Civil War

Thanks for catching that. I noticed it while using AWB, it was set on the wrong settings. ṜέđṃάяķvюĨїήīṣŢ Drop me a line§ 21:08, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Richard Coulter

Thank you for expanding and improving the article on General Coulter Sr. (1827 - 1908). As you can see from my user id, I am from Greensburg and was affected in several ways by the Coulters, mostly by General Coulter's son General Richard Coulter Jr. (1870 - 1955) although I never met him. I just did an article on Richard Coulter Jr. who was a Brig. General in WW I. My father knew him and worked for him during the Depression in the 1930s when he (Richard Jr) was president of the First National Bank of Greensburg. The bank held the mortgage on my father's house. When my father was laid off and could not make the mortgage payments, he asked the bank for help. Coulter hired my father to do carpentry, plumbing, and electrical work on old Victorian houses that the bank had forclosed on and which were unsaleable because they were not wired for electricity and/or did not have indoor plumbing. In 1951 when I was a teenager, my father bought a vacant lot from Coulter on Brushton Ave. in the "Coulter Plan" near Coulter's Hawksworth mansion in north Greensburg (the old general's homestead you mentioned) and submitted plans for a new house which my father designed and submitted to Richard Jr. for approval.

You said you knew Howard Coulter, a grandson of General Coulter Sr. I have been unable to find a Howard Coulter in the 1910, 1920, or 1930 census of Westmoreland County, PA. Perhaps you mean Henry W Coulter Jr. (1920 - 1999), son of Henry Welty Coulter Sr. (1873 - 1932) and grandson of Richard Coulter Sr.

Do you know of anything written about General Richard Coulter Jr. and his activities in the First National Bank? Greensburger (talk) 01:03, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] William L. McMillen

Thanks for helping with this. I stumbled onto this guy as one of the non-successful Reconstruction candidates for the disputed Louisiana U.S. Senate seat, which is relevant for African-American history of that era. --Orange Mike | Talk 16:55, 2 June 2008 (UTC) (descendant of a loyal family of West Tennessee which gave two sons to preserve the Union)
