[edit] Reference Question

Does anyone object to this reference - http://civilwarindiana.com/role.html . The site does not site any references, but it has a wealth of civil war information that so far as I read is all accurate. I have used it as a footnote reference on one statement in the article. It also has some super great photos of Indiana regiments. They all have to be 150 years old.. I am not sure if the rules allows us to taken them though. Cool10191 (talk) 13:21, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Good Article Review

Do you think this could pass the GA review? I think it is pretty close. I am going to try to expand referencing a little more and find a bit more content before submitting it. I also want to get some info on what black hoosiers did in the war. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Charles Edward 15:49, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

I think it's ready, which is why I went and nominated it. I'd like for one of my articles I started to reach GA status. Heck, this one could potentially make FA status.--Bedford ^Pray 18:15, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Cool. I've been trying to get history of Indiana passed for FA this week, which has let me find out just how tough that is! Me and mingusboodle been working on it for four weeks now. Thanks Bedford Charles Edward 18:37, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

No problem. I think the only real problem is that not every paragraph ends with a in-cite.--Bedford ^Pray 18:53, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

I agree. I've been trying to expand the referencing today, but it's hard for me to always remember where I read something, so I am having to dig through books to find the stuff. hahah. Charles Edward 18:57, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Maps

As recommended by the GA Review, I added the two maps from my Master's Thesis onto the page. I hope they don't look too bad.--Bedford ^Pray 19:48, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

I think they look fine. I moved the images around a little and took off the one of the cabin so it dont look too cluttered. Charles Edward 20:02, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

I just uploaded this

. I am not sure if we can use it though.. Maybe violation of copyright. I scanned in from a CJ article from 1993. Maybe we can use it under fair use? But I am not sure. Charles Edward 13:41, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
