Category talk:American Civil War

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have removed redundant categories Category:United States history and Category:Military history of the United States from Category:American Civil War (they are inherited via Category:United States wars. -- Mwanner 17:00, Apr 25, 2005 (UTC)

There are way too many state regiment articles clogging the category. I reorganized them into category:Civil War regiments by state category:Confederate Civil War regiments category:Union Civil War regiments

Also, there are too many "Fort xxx" dumped in the Am. Civil War category. Perhaps it would be better to put them in a subcategory:Civil War forts. Intelligent use of subcategories and sub-subcategories, etc. will make it easy to find information. Right now it's a dump pile. There will be enough miscellaneous articles to constitute a trash pile eventually even without these easily classified categories. THB 18:48, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Ditto for "Army of xxx". It would make a lot more sense to have Subcategories for CSA and Union armies. THB 18:48, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Both of the above tasks were completed by a WikiGnome before I came along. I did quite a bit more tidying of categories today, too. Still lots more work to do though. Twisted86 10:17, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
