message: On a quick spelling-correction visit and before going on to the apparently identical (same word count; same misspelling) 69th Infantry Regiment (United States): 
:Shouldn't one of the two articles be converted into a Redirect page going to the other of the two?
The procedure would be to replace the content of the one with  "#REDIRECT target" with the "target" being the other.
I may implement this proposal if someone closer to the article(s) doesn't address it one way or another here. Thanks and cheers. With a solemn salute to Antietam and a passing new one to EoGuy. Swliv (talk) 13:00, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Apparent duplication of article 

message: I removed the "citation needed" for the statement that it's a high number for a NG Unit.
It is a high number but there is no official list of MOH citations by units.  However a search of the MOH citations list shows that the only NG unit that apparently has more MOH's is the 180th Infantry with 8 MOH's.  No other NG unit appears to comes close to the 180th or the 69th.
Anyone wishing to dispute the statement with a "citation needed" is quite welcome to do their own research and list any other NG units with more MOH's than the 69th or 180th  here before posting it.  Thanks GCW50 (talk) 09:20, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Medal Of Honors 

message: Just as a trivial side note, where could I find the official US Army or NY ARNG orders authorizing the staff length for the 69th's regimental colors to be increased by one foot?  I don't have access to the book referenced on that particular comment.  What is somewhat strange about this statement is that having a large number of campaign streamers would not have any bearing on the length of the staff, as all streamers are attached to the top of the staff and all streamers are the same length, so there would be no need to increase the length of the staff.  It would make sense to add a metal ring much like that used on the Army Ceremonial Flag to the top of the staff to attach the streamers for units with a large number of streamers, as this makes for ease of attachment and display, but lengthening the staff will do nothing but make it more unwieldy for the Soldier that has to carry it.
If, however, this comment was intended to refer to the company guidons within subordinate battalions, it might make more sense based on previous guidance about the display of campaign credit on relevant company guidons.  Previously, campaign credit was displayed on company guidons by the use of small silver-colored metal bands affixed to the staff of the guidon.  If a company had a large number of separately received campaign credits the staff would quickly start to look more like a metal pole with all the bands.  This guidance was changed a few years ago (circa 2004) so that campaign credit is displayed in the form of streamers on company guidons as well, but prior to this change it would make sense to lengthen the staff to accomodate a large number of campaign silver bands.  Of course, the bands were only about 3/4 in. tall, so you would need quite a few of these bands...50 would probably be a close number.  ----Pushkins Barber  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.101.252.103 (talk) 09:44, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

message: I know it's a widely-used phrase, but is it NPOV? "Global" is propaganda meant to convey unity, and being branded "Terror" by the country who de facto founded al-Qaeda and ISIS is ironic, to say the least. Is there not a more NPOV, or less America-centric, way to describe that period of this regiment's history? And yes, I know, it's an American regiment. Wikipedia is not, though. 64.231.8.210 (talk) 17:09, 22 April 2017 (UTC)

Pray tell, is this wrong in 7 or 21 ways? 42?

p.s. it takes a special sort of cynic to be commentator without caring about reality.

thread_title:  It's a matter of culture 

message: "The new Irish Catholic regiments caused uneasiness among American "Nativists" of the Know Nothing Party whose membership was limited to Protestant males of British American lineage."
Please provide an appropriate source which says that the KN membership was limited to males of "British American lineage". Protestant males, certainly, but I have never heard of any ancestry requirements for joining the movement, other than one had to have been native-born and of Protestant parentage. In Maryland and Louisiana, Know Nothings even recruited native-born Catholics.Jonathan f1 (talk) 04:14, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
