Sources[edit]

Sadalmelik said in this edit summary: "The source is "Compendium of the War of the Rebellion" by Dyer, 1908 => PD". I hadn't noticed that. I guess it was unnecessary for me to change the words to avoid a copyright violation. ☺Coppertwig(talk) 21:32, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So noted, but lacking any other reference to that text, I went with 1909 according to this. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:09, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Suggested move[edit]

Suggest this gets moved to 1st Battalion California Volunteer Mountaineers name as per the List of California Civil War units Gnan garra 13:29, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Suggested improvements[edit]

I have just completed the B class checklist and believe that this article could be improved by addressing the following issues:

Referencing: the article needs at least one in line citation per paragraph for a B class review;
Coverage: there is very little content, the article could be expanded by discussing the engagements in more detail, adding a list of COs, decorations, battle honours etc.
Structure: the article should consist of an introductory section, followed by at least one distinct section of content. Also a notes section for in line citations could be added, along with a see also section;
Grammar: currently not big enough to assess properly, will need reassessment when expanded; and
Supporting materials: an infobox or images would improve the article.

Just some ideas. Hope this helps. Once the article has been expanded, you can request it be reassessed by including the article name on WP:MHA. AustralianRupert (talk) 23:25, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal to Merge[edit]

I'd like to recommend merging this page 1st Battalion Mountaineers into the 1st Battalion California Volunteer Mountaineers because the latter page is more comprehensive and covers the same information as this page. Ellin Beltz (talk) 18:09, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
