Confederate Battle victories[edit]

I would like to know why you only show Confederate dead in the pictures; this seems to be biased against the South, when in fact, the Union lost more men then the South did. I know that "political correctness" has run amock, but to show only Southern dead is biased and an affront to all of us who are Southerners, as we take great pride in our heritage. Please address this issue, as i would love to contribute to your organization, but I have to be assured that it is not biased against the South, because, if you are biased, then I cannot, with good conscience, contribute to it. I am sure that you can see my point, just as there used to be the totally ignorant debate over the Confederate Flag, totally ignoring the historical value of it and what it really means to a real Southerner. Thank you for your attention to this highly emotional matter.65.184.146.39 (talk) 15:33, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Opposed speedy move request[edit]

Are these really C2C, though? For all that it's a little weird we apparently categorize ACW by victories or defeats rather than just "battles involving (country)"... I don't see the issue with using an adjective form here, so the higher-level category using the country form isn't necessarily relevant on a C2C basis (e.g. Category:French cuisine is a subcategory of Category:Food and drink in France, C2C wouldn't allow a speedy move to "France cuisine"). It seems like this should have been discussed, at least? But maybe I'm missing something. SnowFire (talk) 17:09, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Confederate is a disambiguation page so is Category:Confederate war crimes referencing Confederate Ireland or maybe German Confederation? Categories are never left with their ambiguous names. Then we C2C the entire set. Which is why we have Category:Native American tribes in Georgia (U.S. state), even though the other Georgia (country) doesn't have any Native American tribes.

@SnowFire: Do you accept this rationale? If you still dispute it then I will reverse these as needing a full discussion. – Fayenatic London 18:10, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I don't. Let's have the full discussion (@Gonnym:). Agree with Gonnym that categories are stricter about not requiring disambiguation, but not when the category title includes "of the American Civil War" which fixes any disambiguation concerns immediately. For the war crimes one, everything except the US in Category:War crimes committed by country is done in adjectival form ("Italian war crimes"). The cemeteries one is the least relevant, it's not a big deal, but I'd argue that the new title sounds like it's vaguely suggesting cemeteries operated by the CSA (during the Civil War?) rather than cemeteries-of-dead-Confederates.

Suggestion if someone takes these to full discussion, I suggest three separate discussions since the issues/consideraions differ across the three. UnitedStatesian (talk) 22:00, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
