Just a question edit
Just a question: if this article is a "List of Tennessee Civil War units," where are the Confederate units? Seems this article is devoted exclusively to Union units, which would be fine (in my opinion, at least) if this article were entitled "List of Tennessee Union Army units during the Civil War" or some similar title. Are there are any plans to expand this article to include Confederate units, as well? Otherwise, shouldn't its title be changed? - Ecjmartin (talk) 12:24, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
- Never mind. I found the List of Tennessee Civil War Confederate units. However, the title of this article is still misleading, and should be changed to "List of Tennessee Civil War Union units." - Ecjmartin (talk) 12:31, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
- It seems that the established format for states that had both US and CS units is to put Confederate only on the one list. Here the full list of units by state. On the Kentucky Union list, I put a See Also reference to the Kentucky Confederate list. I think that's a simple solution here and will do it. Spacini (talk) 14:38, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
- I agree that the title needs to be changed. For the Union states it makes sense to just list it in the plane fashion, but the example for other southern states that seceded from the U.S. (eg. Alabama, Arkansas) is to include the word Union in the title. The existing title implies that Tennessee was a Union state, causing confusion. - Parsa (talk) 17:30, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
