Talk:Photographers of the American Civil War

message: Hi.  Consider the original contribution of this article  by , an AOL IP.  This is a long text with a few wikilinks at the beginning.  Could this be a copyright violation?  Or is it more likely a gradeschool paper?  I have tried googling for text sequences in it, but I was unable to find it.  Comments?  Thanks.  --ChrisRuvolo (t) 22:57, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

text: Hi, thanks for the comment.  However, we have no way of verifying that you are the same person that originally contributed that text.  You're now coming from the networks of a school district, and not AOL.  Also, how can we verify that it was original work?  Suggestions?  Also, I urge you to create a user account so that we may more easily recognize your contributions.  Thanks.  --ChrisRuvolo (t) 15:25, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Original source?

message: I suggest we distribute reliable biographical info to the various bio articles (several could be made in addition to the ones already linked to). The remainder could be tightened considerably, bringing it into encyclopedic form. Whogue 04:04, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Break up the article?

message: This article on photography only has one photo? Surely all relevant images are in the public domain.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Diddydoobop (talk • contribs) 12:46, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: photos?

message: The page title Photography and photographers of the American Civil War is unnecessarily long and almost reads like a legal brief, not like a title to a chapter of history. This article covers primarily the subject of 'Photographers'. It is understood that there will be 'photography' associated  with these particular people. As it is the page title implies that 'photography' is as prominent a subject as 'Photographers' is, and it clearly is not. The photographer, the 'person', placed in the Civil War, is what is being covered, foremost, and the page title should reflect that. Therefore I would like to change ('move') the page name to Photographers of the American Civil War. I would normally wait for a reply but I see the last two edits were made almost a month ago, before that, July, by some user with no identity, and because the page is not looked after very well and has numerous citation tags that have been there since January of 2010. I am familiar with this subject and have already written about some of the topics mentioned here. Providing credible source and citations for this page should not be difficult. The page has an abundance of external links, however none of them are cited in the body of the page text. GWillHickers (talk) 20:13, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
