I noticed you created a lot of articles about US regiments, including on the modern 58th Infantry Regiment. Could I interest you in creating the article on the Civil War 58th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 17:19, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
- If you point me to what was deleted, perhaps I could help. I hate it when good content is removed :( If you decide to work on the NY units, I'd love to help. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 18:44, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
- Was this ever discussed on Wikipedia? I am familiar with some Wikipedia copyright experts, and if what you say is correct, and they were not involved, it might have been a bot/inexperienced editor mistake. I agree with you that US government documents (federal) are usually not copyrighted, and I'd love to help quash the people who claim fake copyright (I hate such profiteers, too). And Wikipedia is indeed a very good place for such information (although some documents may be better of on Wikisource). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 20:00, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
- I have reported the issue of potentially improper copyvio deletions to the experts I know. I expect they'll be replying soon.

Blanking a large page, references and all is unacceptable. I don't know the reasoning, but such an extreme change can't be made without community consensus. If you want to make big changes you should start a discussion on the talk page of this article. INeverCry 17:57, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
- pay attention, the page wasent blanked it it was reverted. read the talk page.
Please mind your language. An edit summary like this is not up to local standards for civility. Favonian (talk) 18:20, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
- I appoligize but my frustration at seeing months of research, and transcription undone by people who cant be bothered to read is reaching its peak.
