I have corrected the names of the Union commanders of the armies. The Army of the Tennessee was commanded by James McPherson. The Army of the Ohio was commanded by John Schofield. The Army of the Cumberland was commanded by George Thomas.

[edit] Correction on Geography of Atlanta Campaign

Most of the fighting in the Atlanta Campaign took place in northwest Georgia not the northeastern section. Swatson1978 21:54, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] edits Jan 20

To the anonymous editor who continues to make uncited changes to this article: the material on the armies' organization and strength is cited from a couple of references shown in the footnotes. If you have alternative sources, you need to make them known and not simply change the numbers. Also, listings of Confederate armies do not include an Army of the Heartland or Army of the Gateway, and the generals you list do not appear in battle descriptions to which I have access. Please desist unless you can document your changes. Hal Jespersen (talk) 00:56, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Just reverted this again. Probably best to start putting warning messages from WP:UTM on the talk page of the anon IPs so a block can be requested it if continues. --Roswell native (talk) 19:29, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
