Talk:Battle of Cross Keys

Article source

The text of this article is virtually verbatim from the public domain NPS source cited in the References, which is a problem according to Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2009-04-13/Dispatches. I have added the appropriate citations, but a general rewrite is in order. I will put this on my to do list, but other assistance in solicited in the meantime.

North and South Rivers

Port Republic sits between the North and South Rivers, the confluence of which forms the South Fork of the Shenandoah River. I have edited this page to reflect that. Sofa King 10:37, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Number of Staff Captured

I changed the number of Jackson's staff captured to 3, because Jed. Hotchkiss was captured, but escaped later in the fighting. Jehorn (talk) 13:27, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

I have provided a citation from Robertson's biography about the two staff officers. If you have a citation that indicates Hotchkiss was captured in this particular incident, please add it. Hal Jespersen (talk) 18:34, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

I added it. Jehorn (talk) 21:18, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

I meant to say McGuire. Sorry Jehorn (talk) 21:19, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

I am on a business trip and away from my sources and will check this upon my return. You should not be removing reliable-source citations from an article, BTW. You can add and/or clarify, but not delete. I'll fix it (as well as the currently incorrect number you've left in place). Hal Jespersen (talk) 05:24, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Battle of Cross Keys

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Battle of Cross Keys's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "nps":

• From Battle of Port Republic: National Park Service battle summary
• From First Battle of Winchester: National Park Service battle description
• From Haugh House: "National register of Historic Places Listings, August 26, 2011". United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service. 2011. Retrieved 2013-11-15.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 05:45, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
