Please combine this with the 3 month version[edit]

I came across this yesterday when I learned that the son of a West Virginia founding politician served in this unit.I have no idea whether he was in the 3 month or 3 year version, and don't have time to do the research.Jweaver28 (talk) 15:04, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal[edit]

There is a lack of proper disambiguation between 1st West Virginia Infantry Regiment (3 Year) and 1st West Virginia Infantry Regiment (3 Month), in that there are no hatnotes between them, nor is there a dab page or any other content at the base name 1st West Virginia Infantry Regiment. I propose to reconcile this by merging the pages under the base name (logistically, by merging the 3 month article into the 3 year article, then moving the 3 year article to the base name). Disambiguation will be required for 1st West Virginia Veteran Infantry Regiment. While there was a gap in time between the mustering out of the 3-month enlistees and the reorganization of the regiment with 3-year enlistees, they share the same commander, and were mustered out/re-organized at the same place, so I think we can house the history under one roof. Alternatively, if we want to keep these as separate entities, we could move the 3 year article to the base name as the primary topic (since the 3 month unit saw little action) and create 1st West Virginia Infantry Regiment (disambiguation). We should also disambiguate between the 1st Virginia Infantry Regiment, as some variation of that was used to refer to the West Virginia unit prior to statehood.

Leaning support - per the George Tyler Moore Center ref in the 3-year unit's article, as well as the Marshall source in the 3-months' article and this, while these maybe weren't the same lineage in a strict technical sense, sources seem to consider the later unit an offshoot of the former, so I think we should, too.
