Good work as usual. A few comments:

• suggest "fighting at the Battles of Kennesaw Mountain and Peachtree Creek, the Siege of Atlanta, and several smaller actions."

Done

• I think the company breakdown and commanders info is undue, suggest

As of the consolidation date, the regiment consisted of ten companies: the troops of Companies A, E–G, and I from the 2nd Missouri Infantry; and those forming Companies B–D, H and K from the 6th Missouri Infantry.

Done

• what were the conditions of their parole and were they breaching them by joining this unit?

They'd been exchanged by that point, I tried to make that clearer

• After thethis action at the Lattimer House

Done

• once you've introduced the regiment, I'd go with "2nd and 6th Missouri Infantry" thereafter, there is at least one example of 2nd and 6th Missouri Infantry (Consolidated) and 2nd and 6th Missouri Infantry (Confederate)

Done

• The Confederate positions atnd Lovejoy's Station

Done

• The First Missouri Brigade had charged the Union works at least four times

Done

• "During the attack, the military band of the First Missouri Brigade played "Dixie"." and "One officer of the 2nd and 6th Missouri (Consolidated) carried an axe during the charge" seems like romantic trivia to me.

Nixed the axe one. Multiple sources mention Dixie, so it seems important

This is ok at GAN, but you may need to revisit it at Milhist ACR or FAC, particularly taking into account any Confederate bias in the authors that mention it. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 02:10, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Okay. McGhee, Gottschalk, and SSword mention it. Gottschalk is a bit Confederate sided, McGhee is a regional scholar specializing in the Confederacy (so probably some bias). I think Sword's neutral, but I may be wrong

• Brigade commander Cockrell

Done

• Eight Ccompany commanders Wells, Hickey, Parsons, Woodard, Lanier, Moss, Thurmond, and Koontz were among the Franklin casualties.

Done

• "where the men were paroled." parole is duplinked. After the Confederate surrender or before? No mention of the Confederate surrender?

I'll need to look in the source.

The unit surrendered at Fort Blakeley, by that point the Confederacy was falling completely apart and various units surrendered at various times

You need to add that the Army of Tennessee surrendered on April 26, otherwise we are left somewhat up in the air, as some of these men had been paroled before and went back to fighting. Do we know whether this unit was paroled before or after that date? Do we have a date? Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 02:10, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Just looked it up, parole was in May. I'll add that and the Army of Tennessee surrender date

@Peacemaker67: Done with this. I also went ahead and removed the Dixie bit. Hog Farm _Bacon 02:52, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
