Major Robert Anderson → Robert Anderson (soldier) —(Discuss)— —Aldis90 05:41, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Should this page be moved to Robert Anderson (civil war) or something similar? From what I understand of Wikipedia:Naming conventions, we shouldn't be using titles in page names... but there are an awful lot of other Robert Andersons out there. JRP 03:51, 10 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Date of death

Has this article got the correct date of death. Anderson was buried in New York March 26 1862. Seems like a long time between death and burial.

Date verified using the Eicher reference. Perhaps the delay before burial was because he died in France. Hal Jespersen 21:39, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

disambiguation

The disambiguation here is absurd. This Robert Anderson rose to be a general just as much as the other one. I think we should disambiguate by dates, rather than this artificial determination that this Robert Anderson is better known as a major, and the other as a general. john k (talk) 02:37, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Absurd" is a word better reserved for cases more extreme than this, IMHO, but '(major)' was chosen when the article was renamed from Major Robert Anderson, which is pretty common usage in describing the man. He did one overwhelmingly famous thing in his life and that was as a major. If alternative reasonable disambigs make you feel better, go ahead. Hal Jespersen (talk) 14:53, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Agree that the current title isn't very good. Perhaps Robert Anderson (Fort Sumter) or Robert Anderson (1805-1871) Cladeal832 (talk) 20:48, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
