Talk:Battle of Tippecanoe

message: I have cleaned up a considerable mess of MOS:SANDWICH.   might you have a look at this older FA in terms of WP:URFA/2020?  SandyGeorgia (Talk)  16:30, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Wow, thanks for the in-depth look.  is the best person I can think of to have a look here, but he is semi-active lately; hopefully he will log on and see this.  SandyGeorgia (Talk)  07:08, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:   - Do you think we ought to update this to a notice?  Looking at the references, if we find someone with an Internet Archive login, they could check the Prophets of the Great Spirit source.  But I wouldn't be surprised if there's errors there too, especially judging by all the old talk page messages on this page about refernece errors. Hog Farm  Bacon 18:03, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  I think that a three-week to one-month period of no engagement is probably adequate to update to "Noticed"; I will go do that now. (I was holding out hope that CJLippert would pop in.) Best, SandyGeorgia (Talk)  18:09, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

text: , we are each restricted to one nomination at WP:FAR per week, and Hog Farm and I are at that limit.  Hog Farm raised concerns here on 30 November; per the wait period, you should be able to initiate a FAR, but you will need to follow the instructions at FAR-- let me know if you need help.

text: I've got access to a couple other sources that give some info about the subject: Amateurs, to Arms by John Elting, and I think The War of 1812 by Donald R. Hickey includes some stuff.  Rewriting this one may be a project of mine eventually. Hog Farm  Bacon 17:53, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Those sources won't get you very far, since they're tertiary and barely mention this battle. If you get serious about it, these are the ones you'd need: Jortner, The gods of Prophetstown: the Battle of Tippecanoe and the holy war for the American frontier, Edmunds's The Shawnee Prophet, Sugden's Tecumseh, Owens's Mr. Jefferson's Hammer, probably Winkler's Tippecanoe 1811. You could make a Featured article using those. Best wishes. Kevin1776 (talk) 18:24, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  Out of my realm, then, most likely.  My area of expertise is American Civil War.  Battle of Caulk's Field is my only real significant effort from this time period. Hog Farm  Bacon 18:49, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Understandable. I'd love to do it as well but time is too damn limited. Kevin1776 (talk) 18:56, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I might have some time to work on this a bit, I still own a few of the sources. The reason I liked Funk is because it was wrote by a local historian who was primarily writing about the Yellow Jackets (Indiana). He had access to their firsthand accounts of the battle and was related some of their stories. —Charles Edward (Talk | Contribs) 15:30, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  WP:URFA/2020 

message: This article states: "A number of counties in Indiana were named for American soldiers killed in the battle: Bartholomew, Daveiss, Spencer, Tipton and Warrick." Actually, a quick check finds that Daveiss, Owen, Spencer, Warrick, and White Counties are named for personnel killed during the battle. Bartholomew, Dubois, Harrison, and Tipton counties are named for individuals who were in the battle but not killed nor even necessarily wounded. Col. Bartholomew was indeed wounded during the battle, but survived and later fought in the War of 1812, reaching the rank of Major General before ultimately dying in 1840. However, there is no evidence that Harrison, Tipton, or Dubois were even wounded. Of course, Harrison was more than just the commander at this battle, being the first territorial governor, a general during the War of 1812, and ultimately elected President of the United States - so not sure Harrison County was named for him solely for his role in this engagement. The same is true for John Tipton who was also important for other roles in Indiana history.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:801:4280:A710:0:0:0:B25 (talk) 19:35, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Indiana counties named for American participants killed in battle 

message: This article states: "he used the slogan 'Tippecanoe and Tyler Too' to remind people of his heroism during the battle." While possible, doubt that Harrison came up with or even personally used this slogan as this statement infers, suspect it would be more accurate to say the Whig party or Harrison supporters used it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:801:4280:A710:0:0:0:B25 (talk) 20:30, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

thread_title: Tippecanoe and Tyler Too

message: I have suggested deletion on the talk page of the article “order of battle for Tippecanoe”. There is a document on the Internet archive containing all the information for those that want it. So it just needs to be mentioned explicitly in the article Battle of Tippecanoe:
https://archive.org/details/DTIC_ADA350167/page/n135/mode/1up
I can start the ball rolling but can’t take it any further. Thank you, editors, for your understanding of the issues. Humphrey Tribble (talk) 00:26, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
