Talk:Battle of Nashville

message: I've talked to a Civil War historian about various topics, and Shelby Foote has come up on various occasions.  This historian says that Foote's books don't provide sources and are thus considered fiction by many historians.  Therefore, should we not be using his books as sources?  Stevie is the man!

thread_title: Shelby Foote

message: This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of February 23, 2007, compares against the  six good article criteria:
:1. Well written?: Rather unencyclopedic in tone during battle description. Some WP:MOS issues.
:2. Factually accurate?: Difficult to fully assess without cited references.
:3. Broad in coverage?: Seems to be more or less thorough, although undue weight might be given to battle details.
:4. Neutral point of view?: Appears to be, but lack of citation makes this difficult to assess. Adjectives are not carefully used, and often appear weasely.
:5. Article stability? Yes, only vandalism reverting recently.
:6. Images?: Both images have no problems.
When these issues are addressed, the article can be resubmitted for consideration.  Thanks for your work so far.

thread_title: Failed "good article" nomination

message: The article's entries for the Confederates of 1500 killed & 4500 wounded should be 1500 killed and wounded and 4500 missing and captured.  Livermore in Numbers and Losses in the Civil War in America, 1861-65 (p. 133) wrote that the Union army captured 4462 prisoners but does not give counts for Confederate killed and wounded.  Recognizing that Foote did not provide specific sources, he quotes the same number of Confederate captured, gives "roughly 1500" as the total of killed and wounded, and 6000 as the total for all losses, implying 4500 for captured and missing.

thread_title:  Killed, Wounded, & Missing 

message: As part of my work on the Franklin-Nashville Campaign article, I have done some expansion of this battle article and added citations so that the warning boxes about references could be removed. Because of other work on my schedule, I will probably not return to this article in the near future, but it certainly is not written to the level of detail that a battle of this magnitude warrants. If others would like to pitch in, you are [always] welcome to do so. Hal Jespersen (talk) 00:32, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
