Talk:John T. Wilder

message: I have removed the following edit of November 2, 2009:
:However Wilder's surrender is to be viewed, his defense of louisville was the first instance where the new spencer repeating rifles were used. In "Abe and His Secret Weapon," an article in the American History journal, Wilder is Cited as holding off an attacking force of more than five times his own, and inflicting triple the casualties that they recieved.
I do not have this journal article to verify, but the first use of Spencers was at the Battle of Hoover's Gap in the 1863 Tullahoma Campaign. Wilder surrendered at the Battle of Munfordville and did not participate in any battle at Louisville. Hal Jespersen (talk) 15:16, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Putting information on TB in the talk page. Reputation should focus on Rawlins. 
:During Rawlins' lifetime, there were no effective treatments for tuberculosis (TB), the most widespread public concern in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The bacillus causing the disease, M. tuberculosis, was not discovered until March 14, 1882 by Robert Koch.Nobel Foundation. The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1905. Accessed September 16, 2016 In 1946, the development of the antibiotic streptomycin made effective treatment and cure of TB a reality, however, hopes of completely eliminating TB (cf. smallpox) from the population were dashed after the rise of drug-resistant strains in the 1980s. In addition to antibiotics surgery is also used to treat TB. The subsequent resurgence of tuberculosis resulted in the declaration of a global health emergency by the World Health Organization in 1993." Cmguy777 (talk) 17:32, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Innis N. Palmer

message: Yesterday I was looking for more sources for an article on Jim G. Lucas, a war correspondent.  I happened on an obituary for MG Innis Palmer Swift, Innis N. Palmer's grandson.  I began following links and discovered that this is a rather amazing military family and wonder if there is room to mention this in the article.  The easiest way to explain the family relationships is through Clara Swift Humphrey, Innis Palmer Swift's sister.
She had two grandfathers who were generals, BG Ebenezer Swift, a surgeon, and BG Innis N. Palmer.  Her father was MG Eben Swift and her brother was MG Innis Palmer Swift.  She married BG Evan Harris Humphrey making MG Charles Frederic Humphrey her father in law, and BG Charles Frederic Humphrey, Jr., her brother in law.  Thus she had seven close if not immediate relatives who were US Army generals.  Her other brother was Col Eben Swift, Jr., who's son, her nephew Col Eben F. Swift, served in WW II, Korea and Vietnam.
Charles Frederic Humphrey, Sr. won a DSC and the Medal of Honor in the Indian Wars and at least three of the others also won DSC's.
I just wonder if anyone knows of a family with more generals and if it's worthy of mention in the article. Dan D. Ric (talk) 16:13, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Joseph Gilbert Totten

message: I'm not crazy experienced at Wikipedia, so I made some edits and additions today but had a couple questions.
* is there a style manual for biographies like this? For instance, I thought about creating another heading that referred to General Totten's inventions:  the totten windows and lighthouse, etc, pulling them out of the Military Career article, which just goes in chronological order.  But I couldnt' find a standard for it, so left things as is.
* in Namesakes, there is an apartment building listed as a namesake—this doesn't seem significant and could be a sales link.  Maybe if anywhere might go in the metro station or neighborhood pages as opposed to this bio page I think. Should we delete it? I didn't want to do it without asking here first.
ps - i got into googling for this last night only because of an episode of Blueblood that mentioned Fort Totten in NY, and I recognized it was the same as the Yellow-Line termination point in DC, and wondered where the name came from. The totten shutters were the easiest thing to find significant information about, and so that's why I added some better info here.

Note that this article is about a specific rank, "Army general". This is equivalent "4-star" or "OF-9" in other militaries. There are also lower-ranking generals, but they do not belong in this list. In particular, three people with rank "Major general" were reportedly killed in combat in February-March, 2022, during Russia's invasion of Ukraine. They were Andrei Sukhovetsky, Vitaly Gerasimov, and Andrei Kolesnikov. The Russian rank "Major general" is a 1-star grade, three below Army general.
