== 3c stamp of USS Constitution ==

Hi - Thanks for the great image of ''Constitution'''s 1947 3c stamp.  It's a great photo of an important subject.  The article mentions the stamp directly later on at [[USS_Constitution#Bicentennial_celebrations]] (near the end of the second paragraph), so I've moved the image there to allow readers to see the stamp where it's mentioned.  Thanks again for adding the image! --[[User:Badger151|Badger151]] ([[User talk:Badger151|talk]]) 17:55, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

== Appotomax stamp ==

Hi - I've built upon your addition at [[Battle_of_the_Wilderness#Civil_War_Commemoratives]] by wikilinking the battles commemorated by the other stamps, but I found three possibilities for Appotomax - [[Appomattox_Campaign]], [[Battle of Appomattox Station]], and [[Battle of Appomattox Court House]].  I wasn't sure which of these the stamp was meant to commenmorate, so I chose Appomattox_Campaign, as it incorporated the other two.  Is this right? --[[User:Badger151|Badger151]] ([[User talk:Badger151|talk]]) 18:10, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

== Welcome! ==

Welcome to WP, always nice to have more stamp enthusiasts!  You might like to join up with the philately project, [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Philately]], where we keep each other up to date with our activities, discuss plans and standards, etc.  You might also be interested in my first attempt at a ships on stamps list, [[List of ships on stamps]], which bogged down a little [[User:Stan Shebs|Stan]] ([[User talk:Stan Shebs|talk]]) 17:34, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

== Alexander Graham Bell stamp ==
[[File:Alexander Grahm Bell 1940 Issue-10c.jpg|right|210px]]

Hi Gwillhickers:  my apologies for the terse edit summary last night when I reverted your change to the caption (when I occasionally execute rapid keystrokes on my computer it will sometimes treat them as a 'Save Page' command and truncate the text that I typed, which is what happened yesterday).

The difference between your text and mine is not worth arguing about, but your text needs to be corrected since 'Grahm' (Graham) was misspelled which was the reason for my revert. It can also be slightly improved, as shown here:<br>
<center>~ '''Alexander Graham Bell''' ~<center>on a 1940 U.S. stamp issue</center>
</center>

Since the article already has a left hand side image, I would suggest that the stamp image also be placed on the left side of the section to balance the large statue image above it. Otherwise the stamp is an excellent addition to the article.

I feel additionally that since many dozens of stamps have been issued for Bell as noted in the adjacent paragraph, that the text related to this particular stamp should be inserted into the related article, [[Alexander Graham Bell honors and tributes]], where a franked copy of the same stamp is currently shown (and can be replaced with yours). Otherwise many other stamp enthusiasts may also insert additional text related to their Bell stamps, which i.m.h.o. are not highly notable.

For information about DYK, read [[Wikipedia:Did you know]]. If your article is approved (which I don't see why it wouldn't be), it will appear on the main page for six hours. The quote from your article that I chose is "...that the first '''[[U.S. Space Exploration History on U.S. Stamps|U.S. stamp]]''' that depicted a space vehicle was issued in 1948?".

:Yes, it is nice!  The Fort Bliss stamp is a good example of the "unique fact" I was referring to previously - even philatelists tend to think space stamps only date from 1957 or so.  Another bit that would be good for this page is the extreme secrecy surrounding the Mercury stamp's design and production.

== Pony Express - First Rider ==

In light of the fact, the references below and numerous other sources cite Billy Richardson as a highly likely candidate for the first rider; it is reasonable to include him thus giving the reader an opportunity to make their own conclusion.

== [[Pony Express]] article ==

Just wanted to drop you a note that I have nominated this article for GA review. It was just sitting there collecting dust in the corner, not even assessed. It is a very good piece in my humble opinion. I will keep my fingers crossed and hope it passes.

== Lincoln stamp ==

Thanks for pointing out the additional fact about the only airmail stamp to honor a pres. If you would, please in the future use the space provided to give a brief description of your edit. This will help us get the article to FA status, as well as the stamps in there. Thanks again. [[User:Carmarg4|Carmarg4]] ([[User talk:Carmarg4|talk]]) 12:58, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
::I first included the stamp image back in [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Abraham_Lincoln&oldid=355936125 April of 2010] and it was removed, twice. I tend not to make log entries when I am restoring illegal deletions and making general fixes in image size, text formatting, etc. Thanks for looking out just the same.<br/>Btw.. It's good to see the Lincoln page shaping up. I am in the process of repairing and rewriting most of the [[Thomas Jefferson]] page as it will also be the second major fix the page has gone through. [[User:Gwillhickers|Gwillhickers]] ([[User talk:Gwillhickers#top|talk]]) 18:55, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
:::I appreciate your input on the article (my brother God bless him was a philatelist) and particularly your comment about the Legacy section needing some work. I gave it some work today. I'm sure it needs more but I do think we have improved it, thanks to your note. I think the best thing about an FAN for AL is the improvement that USUALLY comes about from it. That said, AL does such a great job bringing out the hunger in us history buffs that he's not suitable for the FA in a way – whenever he gets it he won't stay there long – and that's fine.

Actually probably to your dismay, I'm not a history buff. But that doesn't mean I don't like history, it is one of my favorite subjects. The reason I was editing the Thomas Jefferson page is because I'm doing a board on it. But thanks for the welcome. You are not the only one who said that. I actually became a member on July 13, 2012.

Just a quick note to congratulate you on the promotion of [[Tadeusz Kościuszko]]  to FA status recently. If you would like to see this (or any other FA) appear as "Today's featured article" soon (either on a particular date or on any available date), please nominate it at [[WP:TFAR|the requests page]]. If you'd like to see an FA appear on a particular date in the next year or so, please add it to [[WP:Today's featured article/requests/pending|the "pending" list]]. In the absence of a request, the article may end up being picked at any time (although with about 1,307 articles [[:Category:Featured articles that have not appeared on the main page|waiting their turn at present]], there's no telling how long – or short! – the wait might be). If you'd got any TFA-related questions or problems, please let me know. [[User:Bencherlite|Bencherlite]][[User talk:Bencherlite|<i><sup>Talk</sup></i>]] 18:11, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

==DYK:1930 Graf Zeppelin stamps==
Hi GWhillikers,
Thanks for your message and helpful suggestions on how I should simplify my DYK reviews in the future. I learned more than I already knew about these stamps. I did not know that the Post Office had issued any stamps mainly to promote a privately owned, profit-making enterprise? Do you know whether there were other such issues? If this were the only time (or even the first time), I think such a statement would enhance the notability of the issue. In my opinion, the article is a good one that should be rated higher than Start class for quality. [[User:Bruin2|Bruin2]] ([[User talk:Bruin2|talk]]) 15:58, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
::That's an interesting question. I don't know if any other U.S. stamps were ever issued to promote a private enterprise, and I've read nothing to that effect either way. I certainly will keep an out out for that bit of information. -- [[User:Gwillhickers|''Gwillhickers'']] ([[User talk:Gwillhickers |talk]]) 16:53, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

:::Hi again,
:::First, I apologize for misspelling your screen name. I should have rechecked that against your post.

:::Further, regarding the historical political environment in which these stamps were issued, the United States government was deeply affected by the isolationist mood of the populace in the early 1930s. That feeling didn't abate until after Germany initiated WWII. Maybe there was Congressional debate about issuing these stamps, since they benefitted a foreign company (even though we weren't at war with Germany then). I'd offer to help look this up, but I'm rather absorbed in other things now, so it could be quite a while before I can look into the question. [[User:Bruin2|Bruin2]] ([[User talk:Bruin2|talk]]) 20:40, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
:::::I'm still looking for other sources and hopefully something will break that sheds some light on these advents. I would love to be able to say (if true of course) that the Zeppelins were the only U.S. Postage stamps used to support a private enterprise, but without a reliable source as you must know we can't say anything, one way or the other, to this effect. I'll keep a look out for this info. That would be a key piece of information for the article indeed if we could only provide a source for it. -- [[User:Gwillhickers|''Gwillhickers'']] ([[User talk:Gwillhickers |talk]]) 20:51, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Coming along nicely... Any room for [[:File:YOUNG, Brigham (signed check).jpg|this]]?--[[User:Godot13|Godot13]] ([[User talk:Godot13|talk]]) 03:31, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
::{{ping|Godot13}} -- Thanks. I beginning to find out I may have bitten off more than I can chew in terms of providing illustrations for the many 100s of different 'types', let alone individual stamps. In the [[Revenue stamps of the United States#First issue design types|''First issue design types'']] section, under ''Bank check'', I've already linked to an image of [[:File:Bank check W 3series Rev stamps.jpg|this check]]. However, if you would like to add your image to ''other versions'' in the summary for this image that would be nice also. I've linked to other examples of revenue stamps on documents, stocks, etc, in the article also. Fascinating stuff. -- [[User:Gwillhickers|''Gwillhickers'']] ([[User talk:Gwillhickers |talk]]) 06:47, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
::{{ping|Godot13}} After thoughts. Just so you know, I realize the image of the check you've offered here is far superior in image quality, but the check I've linked to serves as a better philatelic and historical reference, at least imo, as it's franked with three stamps issued from the first three separate series of revenue stamps, issued in 1862, 1871 and 1872 respectively. Such a combination of rev stamps on any document is scarce, if not rare, and on that note makes for a unique image.  -- Re: Featured pictures. Looks like I'm off to a rough start. -- [[User:Gwillhickers|''Gwillhickers'']] ([[User talk:Gwillhickers |talk]]) 15:30, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

== Seth Ledyard Phelps ==

Thank you for your excellent article on Seth Ledyard Phelps.  I am writing to draw your attention to one small point.  I believe Phelps and Servin were mistaken in reporting Eliza Phelps' maiden name as "Maynoden."  I believe her true maiden name is "Maynadier."
"Maynadier" is the name inscribed on her tombstone in the Oak Hill Cemetery, Washington, DC.  It is also the name shown in her death notice in the Washington Post, May 28, 1897, p. 3, and in the 1850 census, as well.  I very much appreciate your consideration.
Best, John Paul Woodley, Jr.[[Special:Contributions/2600:8806:1200:B07:305D:AB3B:1705:C597|2600:8806:1200:B07:305D:AB3B:1705:C597]] ([[User talk:2600:8806:1200:B07:305D:AB3B:1705:C597|talk]]) 18:59, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
:::Thank you. I found the name in [https://archive.org/stream/phelpsfamilyofam02phel#page/1076/mode/2up '''''The Phelps family of America and their English ancestors, volume 2.'''''] written by Oliver Seymour Phelps in 1889, page 1076.

== Thomas Perkins Abernethy ==

Hi-your article about [[Thomas Perkins Abernethy]] was interesting. Thank you for writing and researching this. I did added categories about his military service and birth place. However, you removed these categories. You also removed a link to his birth place [[Collirene, Alabama]]. I started the article in order to help readers to locate the community in the article. I assumed good faith when I added the link to Thomas Perkin Abernethy's birth place and the categories. I am not sure why you reoved the link or the categories which were added in good faith. Thank you-[[User:RFD|RFD]] ([[User talk:RFD|talk]]) 14:56, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
::{{ping|RFD}}  That's strange, I don't recall removing these things, and what's even stranger, I can't think of any reason why I would. The [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Thomas_Perkins_Abernethy&type=revision&diff=909049863&oldid=908492902 edit history for the edit] in question has a {Tag: PHP7}. When you go to the [[Tag]] article that defines this item, it speaks of "Revisions made with PHP7 enabled instead of HHVM (expected to improve performance, tagged for debugging/analysis)". I'm not sure what these "revisions" involve. When I make reverts as a rule I note the reason(s) why in edit history. In any case, I am glad to have the links and the added categories. Thanks for restoring them -- and thanks for creating the new article. Btw, the ' Abernethy article (hook) is up for [[Talk:Thomas Perkins Abernethy|DYK nomination]]. Someone said the hook wasn't interesting. Would appreciate any feedback you may have to offer. -- [[User:Gwillhickers|''Gwillhickers'']] ([[User talk:Gwillhickers |talk]]) 23:42, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

== Pony Express Reference in Convict Lake Article ==

Hello, Gwillhickers! I happened on your Convict Lake article and enjoyed reading it. I hope this will not offend you, but I did notice one inconsistency that I think you would like to know about the story. That is the story of a [[Pony Express]] rider by the name of Billy Poor being a victim of the convicts in September 1871. I did not know the history of Convict Lake at all, but I do know about the Pony Express. The first ride of the Pony Express began on April 3, 1860, and the entire Pony Express service ended just 18 months later on October 24, 1861, with the completion of the transcontinental telegraph line. When it was running, the Pony Express route ran just south of Lake Tahoe. So, the inconsistency is that Billy Poor simply could not have been a rider for the Pony Express at Convict Lake in 1871, because the Pony Express actually ran more than 100 miles north of there and had ended almost 10 years before the date of the incident with the convicts. I also checked the National Geographic site that is referenced at that point in the article and did not see any mention of the Billy Poor story there (though it's possible the page has changed since you saw it and referenced it). As I said, I do not know the history of Convict Lake or that area specifically, and I suppose it is possible that Billy Poor was riding to deliver mail to someone or something like that, but he could not have been an actual Pony Express Rider. Again, I hope you understand that my intention is to be helpful, and I do appreciate that you took the time to write the article. Thank you!

::Thanks for your interest. Poor's involvement is what the sources have indicated. There has to be an explanation, perhaps even an exception involved. If you have sources that can support any revision you think the article will benefit from, your contributions would be welcomed. -- [[User:Gwillhickers|''Gwillhickers'']] ([[User talk:Gwillhickers |talk]]) 04:02, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
::@Gwillhickers: I appreciate your reply! Please note that I do not in any way dispute that Billy Poor was involved; it's just not possible that he was a Pony Express Rider, although he may well have been riding to deliver mail. To that point, I located a source that supports the story of the murder of Billy Poor by convicts at what is now known as Convict Lake, and that source also identifies him simply as "a mail rider"--someone riding to deliver the mail (as I suggested might be the case), which is not the same as an actual Pony Express Rider primarily because (as previously noted) the Pony Express had ended nearly 10 years prior to the incident at the lake. The source is [http://desertgazette.com/blog/the-story-of-convict-lake/ "The Story of Convict Lake"] as published online in the [https://desertgazette.com/blog/ ''Desert Gazette Blog'']. That page acknowledges the text is from [https://lccn.loc.gov/22011596 ''The Story of Inyo''], by W. A. Chalfant (1922). The story is told in Chapter XX of Chalfant's book, and that section is presented verbatim on the Desert Gazette Blog page referenced above. The 1922 book is available in a Kindle edition, if you'd like to look it up there to cite the original source. I hope that is helpful! --PrayTwice 01:50, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

== Contribution at Great Siege of Gibraltar ==

At [[Great Siege of Gibraltar]], I've made a few contributions. The first is to refer to the conflict under discussion there by the <u>European RS term</u>, "War of the American Revolution", which is HISTORIOGRAPHICALLY meant to encompass BOTH the American Revolution among British subjects AND the concurrent '''"European war of 1778-83"''' (Simms 2007, p. 681) among the western Great Powers, worldwide. 

:Lots more to share - the term "War of the American Revolution" search is redirected to [[American Revolutionary War]], something we may want to address by creating the "SISTER ARTICLE" recommended by {{u|Lord Cornwallis}}: '''War of the American Revolution''', with appropriate linking to [[American Revolutionary War]], [[France in the American Revolution]], [[Spain in the American Revolution]], and in another category of related articles, [[Second Hundred Years' War]], [[Anglo-French War (1778)]] and [[Anglo-Spanish War (1779)]]. 
:You may be aware of the Eastfarthingan and XavierGreen proposal to merge [[Anglo-French War (1778)]] with "''France in the American Revolution''" as has been done previously with the [[Anglo-Spanish War (1779)]] into "''Spain in the American Revolution''", with a redirection link for the Spanish war term search. '''QUERY:''' How do those merges impact the Wikipedia organization (consistency) of the Military History Project articles, <u>[[Anglo-French Wars]]</u>, <u>[[Anglo-Spanish Wars]]</u>, and <u>[[Second Hundred Years' War]]</u>?

Second, I read into Davenport & Paullin [https://www.amazon.com/European-Treaties-Bearing-History-Dependencies/dp/1584774223 European Treaties Bearing On the History of the United States and Its Dependencies] (1917, 2015) Both snippets at Amazon and at Google Books are extensive, allowing considerable online investigation.

CONTRIBUTIONS (''Italics'' mine):

The '''Great Siege of Gibraltar''' was an unsuccessful attempt by [[Enlightenment in Spain|Spain]] and [[Kingdom of France|France]] to capture [[Gibraltar]] from the [[Kingdom of Great Britain|British]] during the ''[[War of the American Revolution]]''.[Eggenberger p. 172]

''Spain declared war on Britain in 1779 the year after France based on its [[Pacte de Famille#Later Franco-Spanish Pacts|Third Pacte de Famille]] between the [[Bourbon kings]]. The supplemental [[Treaty of Aranjuez (1779)]] was made to recover Bourbon territories lost at the [[Treaty of Paris (1783)]] and the military glory lost to Britain in the [[Seven Years' War]]. When Spain joined France as an ally against Britain, it became a formal co-belligerent with the [[Second Continental Congress|United States Congress]] in its war against Britain.''[Davenport, p. 168] 

''However the first war aim for Spain at Aranjuez was to recover the [[Fortifications_of_Gibraltar#Eighteenth_century|Fortress at Gibraltar]] which had been lost to the British at the 1715 [[Peace of Utrecht]]. Gibraltar commanded the North Atlantic entrance to the Mediterranean Sea, and'' at the Spanish declaration of war against Britain on June 16 1779, the British base at Gibraltar was vulnerable.[Eggenberger, p. 172]

==Hessians==
I don't want to clutter the ARW talk page, but would like to address your comments at 01:11, 25 September 2020 that the term foreign mercenary was exclusively used throughout history. In fact, the source you provided [H.D. Schmitt] does not say that. He says for example that "the young Schiller immortalized the traffic in German mercenaries to America in his drama Kabale and Liebe." You take that as evidence that Schiller referred to the men as mercenaries. In fact he did not use the term in his drama. In no case did Schmidt claim that any British or European writer used the term. The description appears to have begun with the revolutionaries in the Continental Congress. [[User:The Four Deuces|TFD]] ([[User talk:The Four Deuces|talk]]) 23:46, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
:::Yes, the idea of mercenaries was used in propaganda and elsewhere, and rightly so, but that by itself doesn't discount the idea that the soldiers in question were hired to fight in a foreign war. &nbsp;I never made any claims in regards to what Schiller thought. Aside from Schmidt's reference to Schiller, he still uses the term foreign or German ''mercenaries'' throughout his work. e.g.On p. 209 Schmidt says, ''"the king issued an order forbidding the transit through Prussian territory of all mercenaries hired for the American War."''  On p. 207 he says, ''"The employment of German mercenaries figured for political debate, not only in Britain but in Germany"''.<br> You should know that the employment of mercenaries dates back to the Roman empire, and that they came in many forms, but what has always distinguished them as mercenaries is that they were hired soldiers sent off to fight in someone else's war. Currently the Hessian section makes plain the idea that the Hessians were obtained via a treaty of subsidy, which is a welcomed point of context. However, it's not right that anyone should try to diminish the distinction that they were hired soldiers employed to fight in a foreign war. That is the major consideration. To think that the term ''mercenary'' is some invention made by the Americans is a bit absurd.<br>I am aware of the treaties of subsidies made between Britain and the German princes, and that the soldiers in question were not paid anything more than that of regular soldiers, but as said before, they were indeed professional soldiers, hired to fight in a foreign war they had no interest in, which is why they are widely considered by scholars as mercenaries. -- [[User:Gwillhickers|''Gwillhickers'']] ([[User talk:Gwillhickers |talk]]) 00:19, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

Sorry it's been such an ordeal getting this [[Template:Did you know nominations/Norman K. Risjord|DYK nomination done]]. I went ahead and re-reviewed your nom since the AfD was closed as "Keep". The only thing it needs now is for you to add the sources for the hook to the nom. Once that's done, I'll approve it so we can (finally) wrap this one up.

== Checking in. ==

Hey. I see you sent an email to me on my notice board. not sure how to access it. 
- Got a new computer, still trying to figure it out. 
- Spent most recent time working on spring yard, learning about local City. 
- Some limited reading into Harold Holzer, "Lincoln and the Power of the Press". 
- Got enrolled into VA healthcare, which is an improvement over Sentara for preventative healthcare with diabetes prior to hospitalization, among other things going on. 

I suspended my activity here for a while due to three elements of Wikipedia, although I will undoubtably spend a great deal of daily time here again beginning in 2023.

I suppose that once Wikipedia allows the substance of an article to be rewritten into unrecognizable nonsense for the online viewer, I have spent two or more weeks trying to restore the article using Foundation tools available to me, the coherent piece is free for my webpage publication. 
- So at a profound level, I am happy to freely contribute to the "free encyclopedia" ideal that I firmly believe in still, but then when the community purges it, after the Foundation's remediation steps fail, the intelligible portion of historical narrative expunged is mine to use as I choose. If not, I'll just have to rewrite 10% as required by law for material that already has been substantively altered 40% and more.

Concerning four Wikipedia I spent several months on each over the years, 

1. The WWII Naval "Bombardment of Cherbourg" was denied Good Article status in the Military interest group, and has since been made an unreliable fragment account of the naval operation. 
-- The only rationale posted for dismissing the merits of the article was that it did not spend enough space chronicling infantry maneuver of the Medal of Honor winners, and their significance to naval warfare described. 

The infantry casualties as a percent of those engaged in ground combat were larger than that suffered during Civil War battles such as Antietam and Cold Harbor. But without an efficient world class port operation, there could have been no build up and break out, so Cherbourg was literally the point of the Normandy invasion . . . worth any price to succeed.
-- The Destroyer section as written and illustrated was all but eliminated. In the event, as explained in some detail in the article, now deleted, and on the Talk page in defense of the article without effect in the Wikipedia community, 
 (a) the battleship and cruiser guns broke the German's big coastal guns off their turrets, so they could not swivel to fire into the oncoming infantry winning Congressional Medals; 
 (b) the destroyer naval gunners communicated via Army air observation to Army ground artillery spotters and destroyed the interlocking pillboxes that Army artillery could not disable that were inflicting the oncoming infantry casualties according to official Army documentation, including those of posthumous Medal of Honor winners, as noted in the article.

2. The History of the Supreme Court showing the legal evolution of American jurisprudence, along with images of four justices in each Court to explicate divisions of legal reasoning in each "Court Era", is entirely purged, to be replaced with a poorly summarized account of Supreme Court structure apparently lifted directly out of chapter headings in a first year law textbook. 

3. At the Siege of Fort Pulaski, the account of the Union's amphibious landings and innovative deployment of explosive shell naval gunnery now has garbled and incoherent text, along with footnotes that no longer align with the text. 

4. At the American Revolutionary War, after spending over six months curating a solid bibliography for American Revolutionary War, purging personal and business websites in the links, etc., the work was universally garbled by a bot malware. 
-- Administrators dismissed my concern, saying 1) no one would do that, and 2) if they were to do so, it could be easily reversed with one click, therefore I had no reasonable concern for the chance of the article to gain Good Article rating. 

-- I had converted the entire article into open coded footnotes so the reader of a section or a paragraph could immediately acquire the author and title of each source by hovering the mouse over the footnote. 
-- The malware bot converted names of citations to undecipherable series of letters and numbers, often imposing more keystrokes into the article coding than what it replaced for references with under three citations to the same book. 
-- Appeals for the bot-maker to reverse the disruption to the page went unanswered.
-- After two edits following the disruption, it is not apparent to me how there may be a one-click reversal of the hundreds of footnotes mangled into incomprehensibility.

... But thank you for the personal interest. I hope all is well with you and yours as well ... [[User:TheVirginiaHistorian|TheVirginiaHistorian]] ([[User talk:TheVirginiaHistorian|talk]]) 10:40, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

I meant to wish you a belated successful June 6 Normandy D-Day celebration, but the dementia progresses, however slowly. 

- #3. continued, the Lost Cause narrative insists that Pulaski was lost only by perfidious treason by (a) the Confederate Naval Admiral Tindall who turned back Union iron clads from the mouth of the Savannah River threatening to deploy upriver to bombard the Fort, using only the bow-chaser sloops at his disposal, and (b) the Fort's commander, who surrendered only after the Fort's brick wall [now obsolete in the world's military history with the introduction of explosive artillery shells] was holed, and a round skipped across the parade ground, just adjacent to the Fort's magazine and exploded. Previously his well trained gunners had played on the Union emplacements on Tybee Island a mile away so accurately that Union forces could deploy only at night. 

But the Lost Cause and the modern Neo-Confederates (see their social media) like promoting the anachronistic 'Red Stained Banner' on multiple Confederacy 1861-1865 pages, a design 'resolved' not 'enacted' by a rump Confederate Congress with fewer than 50%, the rest having fled from Richmond. A flag described by the official Confederate Army association historian, a former Confederate General, in 1866 as one "that I have never seen, and I never met any [Confederate soldier] who ever saw it [before Lee's Surrender]". 

The documentation is often quoted and cited to the Journal of Mississippi History(?) over my 5-year campaign of Talk page Wiki-wars. Over that period of time, the Wikipedia Military interest group did not entertain any procedure to standardize the Confederate 'stars and bars to each flag *duly* adopted in the Confederate Congress (there were 2-3 without the fly red vertical stripe) -- following the Wikipedia military editor's consensus used in the American Revolutionary War related articles and Infoboxes. Sometimes the Request for Comment, and other Foundation formal procedures were posted unanswered and they just aged out without any reply in [30] days. 

Sometimes the request for a formal review of the proposal to replace the 'Blood Stained Banner' with an historically accurate flag of each time was simply deleted. Elsewhere in public forums, Neo-Confederates speciously argue that the Great Rebellion, unrecognized as a 'nation' at the time by any nation but Brazil, or in a tortured argument, the Vatican -- must now in the 21st century, be given a moral equivalence to the United States as a nation at that time, and now as the modern Neo-Confederates on their social media and on Wikipedia pages do maintain that the Confederacy is alive today, holding elections, with dual citizenship for their dues paying membership with the United States, as enacted by their contemporary Confederate fiat.

That, when historically at the time, concerning editorial policy for a history article on Wikipedia, the US was universally internationally recognized even by nations or their nationals giving the Confederacy substantial military aid throughout the Rebellion; "The Confederate States of America" was not so recognized. The Lost Cause and modern day Neo-Confederate assertion cannot be sustained in reasonable discussion, so there has been none on Wikipedia.

In any case, I intend to turn to the webpage full time by January next year. The article we worked on together, American Revolutionary War, looks pretty sound, even with 'British' English spelling introduced. Only a few qualifiers in the existing narrative occur to me, so as to * substance * in that case, it really does seem Wikipedia can do without any further contribution on my part. 

But let me know if there is another scholar bio you want to take on. [[User:TheVirginiaHistorian|TheVirginiaHistorian]] ([[User talk:TheVirginiaHistorian|talk]]) 09:36, 9 June 2022 (UTC)

== Charles Beard ==

Just a footnote: Where'd the idea come from that Beard was a communist? He did have socialist leanings, but I couldn't find anything that associated him with communism. I did come across one reference to his having been invited to join the Communist Party, but he declined. [[User:Allreet|Allreet]] ([[User talk:Allreet|talk]]) 20:33, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
::{{yo|Allreet}} — Darn, got my wires crossed. It was Howard Zinn who was a member of the American Communist party. This came up when we were discussing matters [[Talk:Constitution of the United States/Archive 15#A brief survey of the available scholarship|'''here''']] some weeks ago. I'll fix that error on the talk page. Apologies. .  -- [[User:Gwillhickers|''Gwillhickers'']] ([[User talk:Gwillhickers |talk]]) 20:48, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
:::Thanks for the reply. Zinn wasn't a communist either, which his Wikipedia article makes clear. He was a Marxist Socialist, and while he was associated with organizations on the radical left, a "card carrier" he was not. During the 50s, many such organizations were accused of being "communist fronts" by the FBI, which proves nothing, considering the times.
:::I did find articles in the ''[https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/jan/5/socialism-howard-zinn-and-his-fake-history/ Washington Times]'' and ''[https://www.city-journal.org/article/an-fbi-history-of-howard-zinn City Journal]'' claiming Zinn was a communist, but far-right publications are not reliable sources on far-left academics. I sincerely doubt a more extensive search is likely to turn up anything "better". [[User:Allreet|Allreet]] ([[User talk:Allreet|talk]]) 22:13, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
::::The [[Howard Zinn]] article mentions that Zinn was  "an active member of the Communist Party of the United States", although he denied it. Given his involvements, we can only wonder.  -- [[User:Gwillhickers|''Gwillhickers'']] ([[User talk:Gwillhickers |talk]]) 22:25, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
:::::You're quoting the WP article out of context. The full quote is "the FBI first opened a domestic security investigation on Zinn...based on informant reports that Zinn was an active member of the CPUSA". As for Zinn's denial, it's credible in that there's nothing to prove he actually was a commie other than unnamed informants.
:::::So what I wonder about is where all this originates. It turns out the City Journal article was written by an editor for the [[American Spectator]], who offers one conjecture after another. The Washington Times piece has even less editorial integrity in that it states things that simply aren't true. For example, it says Zinn organized the [[Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee]] (he did not) and that SNCC was a "communist organization" (it was not). Similarly, it credits Zinn as a founder of the [[New Party]] (he was not) and that it was a socialist political party (which it wasn't).
:::::The Wikipedia articles on SNCC, SNCC's founder [[Ella Baker]], and the New Party say nothing about communism or socialism and make only passing references to Zinn. I then searched Mary Graber's book  ''[https://archive.org/details/marygrabardebunkinghowardzinnexposingthezlib.org/mode/2up Debunking Howard Zinn]'', the subject of the Times article, and found dozens of references to communism but no evidence definitively linking Zinn. Searching further, I found ties between Graber and right-wing organizations; for example, she's a "scholar" for the [[Alexander Hamilton Institute for the Study of Western Civilization]], and from there, I learned she's part of the [https://academeblog.org/2020/08/10/debunking-mary-graber/ campaign to ban books in schools] as funded by the far right. [[User:Allreet|Allreet]] ([[User talk:Allreet|talk]]) 03:12, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
:{{od}}
Bearing in mind that people who simply embrace god and country are often referred to as "right wing". As for the opinion piece about Grabar, given its accusatory and acutely opinionated style, it's a little difficult to take very seriously..Generally I'm against banning books, but when it comes to children, I'll make allowances. Are we going to allow ''Mein Kampf'' in schools? How about Yasser Arafat's treaties on Israel? Or works that discuss ''the joys of child sex''? Seems that ''anyone'' who draws a line in the sand in that regard is considered "right wing".  As Zinn and Beard are concerned, there's enough evidence that puts them on the left-leaning anti-nationalist shelf, their own actions and views notwithstanding. I wouldn't be so ready to dismiss the FBI's account entirely, (not saying you have) as they too often are dismissed as "right wing". I just can't assume that they simply fabricated all their accounts about Zinn or Beard out of nothing but thin air.  Last, what is it that makes the ''Alexander Hamilton Institute'' right wing? Because they want to keep "In God we trust" on currency?; because they condone  a newly elected president being sworn in with his hand over the Bible, as was Obama, with not a peep from the left?  How often have we had to deal with our  views being referred to as "nationalist" – simply because we adhere to the best sources who haven't ignored the obvious? Perhaps it's best to leave the opinion pieces alone and stick to the facts.  In any case, we seem to be getting away from the discussion on the Constitution Talk page, where I like to think we've done a good job of keeping sources like Beard and Zinn in check with the preponderance of reliable sources, and at the risk of sounding patronizing, we have you to thank for that. -- [[User:Gwillhickers|''Gwillhickers'']] ([[User talk:Gwillhickers |talk]]) 20:18, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading '''[[:File:Photograph of Dean R. Snow.jpg]]'''. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of [[Wikipedia:Non-free content|non-free use]]. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria|first non-free content criterion]]. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have ''no free equivalent''; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

# Go to [[:File:Photograph of Dean R.

# On [[File talk:Photograph of Dean R. Snow.jpg|the file discussion page]], write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission|requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license]], or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

So it looks like we have the same issue as we had with the Starna image, so I'll just delete the image. Apologies for any issues I may have created. -- [[User:Gwillhickers|''Gwillhickers'']] ([[User talk:Gwillhickers |talk]]) 00:27, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
::::There's no need to apologize. You aren't the first to upload an image such as this, and you won't be the last. You can dispute the tagging, if you like, by following the instructions given in the template, but, as I posted at MCQ, the policy has always been quite clear that this type of non-free use isn't allowed in general. It's not just that a free equivalent image needs to currently exist, but that it's reasonable to expect the one could created. When it comes to living persons, the latter is almost always an issue because a new photo of the person could reasonably be expected to be taken and uploaded under a free license. You can, of course, dispute what's considered reasonable, but generally it has to do with something more than not being able to find a free image. One thing about persons like Snow is that it might be possible to find an image of them that was first published in the US prior to 1978 that [[:c:COM:HIRTLE|might now be considered to be within the public domain]]. Another thing that sometimes works is to simply request an image per [[:WP:PERMISSION]]. Sometimes a copyright holder will provide a free equivalent image when asked, and some have had success with this approach. Another possibility it to look for images on Snow on Flickr, YouTube or other social media accounts. Sometimes the copyright holders of such content uploaded their work under a free license that's OK for Wikipedia (as long the uploader is the original copyright holder of the content).  The default has never been to allow a non-free to be used until a free equivalent image can be found simply to add an image to an article. If that were the case, there would be no BLPs without a primary image in the main infobox or at the top of the article. Absent any sourced critical commentary about the image itself or the personal appearance as shown in the image, it's going to be really quite hard to justify such a type of non-free use. -- [[User:Marchjuly|Marchjuly]] ([[User talk:Marchjuly|talk]]) 01:02, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
::::::{{u|Marchjuly}} — Thanks for taking the time to cover these things. I'll consider contacting Doctors Snow and Starna, but so far I haven't come across any contact information, and as these gentlemen are in their 80's it's likely they're retired, so even if contact was made, it seems unlikely they'd respond. Again, thanks for your words of conciliation. Best. -- [[User:Gwillhickers|''Gwillhickers'']] ([[User talk:Gwillhickers |talk]]) 17:02, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

:I was going to mention this in my Help Desk reply, but think it's more relevant here. The Constitution bibliography is about the same size as the one on slavery, though I agree with you on the idea of splitting either article based solely on size. However, I do plan to "pare" the article by following the category approach used in the Civil War bibliography, as another editor suggested and, btw, that I intended from the start (see the edit summary from when I created the article). But the criteria here is pragmatics, that is, to help readers.

Categories will make the bibliography more useful. While I've gathered most of the more important books, I'm certain I could double its size with books I didn't get to and quadruple it with journal articles alone. The same probably applies to the Constitution's bibliography. The difference is that it not would serve the interest of readers to split it, plus there are not as many obvious or distinct sub-categories readers would turn to (one big exception would be categories related to constitutional law, but they're primarily of interest to attorneys). Another advantage of this approach is that we'll be able to reference relevant issues that post-date slavery. Reconstruction, for example, is a crucial topic, and there are well over a hundred books on the subject, most of which include discussions on slavery. Better, then, to point readers to its bibliography. As for future growth, none of the bibliographies on sub-categories are likely to get out of hand. Thus, the sky's the limit.
