Ready for rating

Though there's still some very minor "tweaking" to be done to this article, I think it's okay to be rated at this time. - Ecjmartin (talk) 02:53, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

B Class Review

B1 - not all sections/areas are referenced - I have placed a cite needed tag on each that I found. Otherwise, very good article.
BCR - I have also listed the article at WP:MHAR for a B-Class review. GregJackP (talk) 14:31, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'll work on that this evening, when I get home from work. Thanks for the second look and the feedback, and for the "DYK" nomination, as well! - Ecjmartin (talk) 16:50, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

References have now been provided for each "reference needed" tag. Thanks! - Ecjmartin (talk) 23:18, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

GA Nomination

To any GA reviewers: I am going out of town this coming weekend for a week (5/29 to 6/5). I won't have access to a computer during that time, but will be happy to deal with any issues you raise in the GA review following my return, if you could give me that much leeway! Thanks, and cheers! - Ecjmartin (talk) 03:48, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nickname of Company I, 15th Alabama Regiment CSA

Company "I" of the 15th Alabama was nicknamed the "Quitman Guards" according to at least two sources I have found. Jdmorris806 (talk) 01:43, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome!! Might I please ask you to send me the links/info to the sources you mention? As soon as I receive them, I'll add that info to the article. Or, if you prefer, please feel free to add the information/sources yourself. Cheers! - Ecjmartin (talk) 22:17, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Correction to Name in Roll of Honor List

The real name of "Charles E. Averett" from Company A was "Alvis Early Averett". William C. Oates' memoir incorrectly calls him Charles, but he was the younger brother of my 3rd-greatgrandfather, David Franklin Averett (1837-1927), who also served in Company A. More explanation can be found in a recently-published book by James Faust, The Fighting Fifteenth Alabama Alabama Infantry: A Civil War History and Roster. FWIW, I also documented his addition to the Roll of Honor near the bottom of my own blog post.
