Talk:Mississippi River campaigns

message: There was no "Mississippi campaign," per se. Typically, campaigns involve coordinated movements and battles directed by a single command structure. The Union conquest of the Mississippi River consisted of a number of campaigns that progressed in two separate theaters (Western and Lower Seaboard, the articles that list the various campaigns) under a number of different commanders and departments. You should reconsider your article title to avoid the term 'campaign'. Hal Jespersen 00:26, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Hal's original comment in 2006 is right on point. There was no such campaign and the article in effect refers to different campaigns. Hence, his change in the title. The article as written was unsourced and rather inaccurate or poorly written in some details, and it still is. I have copy edited it to correct a few details and to make a little more sense of it - and I had to strain a little to do that without putting in more time than it deserves. The article really is not worth much time (except that we don't want any gross inaccuracies or misleading points in it). I don't plan to work on it further. Sources no doubt could be found just in the various articles linked, as well as with further research. but it does not seem worth the effort. The article probably ought to be deleted as it is somewhat confusing and adds nothing to the articles that are linked but it may be just as well to ignore it.
