[edit] Seventh Rhode Island Infantry

Totally contextless, doubtful that it's not a copy/paste from the named source, but I cannot confirm. (|-- UlTiMuS 03:50, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep really just needs cleanup. I think it's a copy and paste, but from a public domain (published in 1903) source. Tags added. Military history of this sort, though obscure, is certainly worthy of inclusion. If I'm wrong about the source though, deal with this as a copyvio normally of course. --W.marsh 04:47, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - plenty of content, encyclopaedic, cites a source (though if someone can overthrow it, we can reconsider). Repeat the above comment about copyright expiration. WilyD 12:48, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Obviously notable, and I'm not sure what sort of context is thought missing. Concur that a 1903 source is public domain. - Smerdis of Tlön 14:22, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep, article shows notability. User:Zoe|(talk) 17:44, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and clean up per above. --Coredesat talk. ^_^ 06:37, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

The article was written by myself as a general summary of two books I have written on the regiment. I have researched it for five years, so I think I know its history. Hopkins is public domain. Also included are more journals and letters then one can count.
