== Blocked at ACW Talk? ==

When I try to post to ACW Talk at this time, my post is previewed on [[User:Slatersteven]] Home page.
The entry at ACW is meant to be, {{tq|ONCE AGAIN, an '''encyclopedic''' summary FAILS to get support from its '''scholarly'''citation. <u>WP Editorial policy requires that we choose the reliable [[wp:RS]] scholar</u> over the encyclopedia.
:At {{User:Slatersteven}}’s link directly above, The Ohio History Central encyclopedic entry “[https://ohiohistorycentral.org/w/Reconstruction| “Reconstruction”] article uses “readmission to the Union” (sic), and it cites Eric Foner’s 1990 title as a footnoted source, we shall investigate; historians follow footnotes, it is good WP:Editor practice to do so also.
:TO THE CONTRARY, Eric Foner as a reliable '''Reconstruction scholar''' published by Harper and Row, does NOT support the popular phrase “readmission to the Union” in his [https://archive.org/details/shorthistoryofre00eric| A short history of Reconstruction, 1863-1877]. '''(1)''' [[Andrew Johnson|Johnson]]’s case for Reconstruction was, “secession had been illegal, the states remained intact, and Reconstruction meant enabling them to resume their full constitutional rights…”[p.83]. '''(2)''' [[William Graham Sumner|Sumner]] focused on the Constitutional clause ([https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/articleiv#section4| III.4]) {{tq|”providing a guarantee to each state a republican form of government. …consent of the governed.}}[p.106] '''(3)''' <u>Johnson’s annual message to Congress …insisted</u>, {{tq|‘the work of restoration’ [in the states to their republican form] was now complete – all that remained was for Congress to <u>admit Southern REPRESENTATION</u>.}}[Foner 1990, p.108]}} - ~~~~

As CaptainEek initiated an edit war by reverting my edit without replying to a 9-day post on Talk proposing changes to the Introduction, I trust a similar one is forwarded to {{User|CaptainEek}} and another to {{user|Slatersteven}} who both have proposed that I revert an Intro paragraph which has not been altered 'Sixth [last] new Intro paragraph', <u>so there need no reverting one way or the other</u>. :- Otherwise, TWO (2) Article edits have been made to conform to constructive <u>discussion points made at Talk according to WP policy</u>, one (1) by CaptainEek and one (1) by {{user|Maurice Magnus}}. :At Talk section "Secession" in the WP editorial voice", a consensus was arrived at by four (4) Editors, {{user|Hog Farm}}, {{user|MattMauler}}, {{user|Alanscottwalker}} and myself to avoid interjecting the Constitutionality of "state secession" into the article so as to maintain a [[wp:neutral]] editorial voice. The discussion accepted the formulation "declared secession" by Secessionists -- rather than the partisan "states seceded" then existing in the Introduction. That post has aged now for 10-days without a reply to take exception to the consensus. :I structured discussion of my revisions made [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=American_Civil_War&diff=1108681995&oldid=1108678965 |here] on September 5 following two additional Talk sections without response. The first a 9-day (now 11) aged "The opening", my contributions at "Did the Southern states secede?" supported by Alenscottwalker, the most recent aged 10-days without a response. :Consistent with the 4-Editor consensus of August 28 that would bring the Intro at [[American Civil War]] in editorial alignment with [[Confederate States of America]], I crafted a Talk section "Opening in the Intro'' with my proposed text, to which there has been no response for 2-days since my post to Article main space. :- The Talk section '''Second new Intro paragraph''' <u>has no posted objection made by recent contributors</u>: Maurice Magnus, CaptainEek, nor Slatersteven.

'''The Four-Editor consensus as referenced at Talk and at my Article posts''' is the 28 August Talk Section: "Secession in the WP Editorial voice". '''Result:''' that Secessionists in each Confederate state had declared secession for their state. The stated Editorial rationale for adopting this terminology uniformly throughout the ACW article is that, :- (a) It is better Editorial practice and better historiography to name historic actors participating in an event (Unionists, Secessionists, voters) rather than unspecified abstractions (states), ::- especially when the 'states' under discussion are made up of residents. The abstraction may be fairly represented when a super majority agrees, otherwise it is properly described as "divided". In the American democratic-republics in the 1860 states, the political will was expressed by the voting population, and 77% of the states in the C.S. Congress had <u>''neither a referendum''</u>, <u>''nor a Convention''</u> elected to decide that the political abstraction "state" might "secede". --- <u>''But Secessionists in those 10 states did declare [[Ordinances of Secession]]''</u>. :- (b) The WP Editorial voice at ACW should remain [[wp:neutral]] without signaling "Constitutionality" for one side or the other, :- (c) to align the ACW article to the terminology used at [[Confederate States of America]]. :'''2.''' <u>''IF there were a reason for your revert''</u>, why cannot that reason be disclosed at Talk before the Other-Revert-Duo reversion to allow for Editor discussion on the merits? The consensus was formed 28 August, you reverted 9-days later without discussion. :'''3.''' If I were at 2-reverts, which I do not believe I am, <u>''and which you see documented above without taking exception''</u> --- as the Other-Revert-Duo is at 2-reverts in blanking my contributions without commenting at Talk as provided for reasonable Editor discussion - posted in 6-parargraph Talk sections there ---, ::How is it that any administrator at the time of a Revert Warning would not post [[wp:good faith]] linked reverts related to the warning -- so that there may be either '''(a)''' Editor-learning at the event, OR '''(b)''' opportunity for reasonable Editor discussion on the merits -- as a GOOD result? :'''4.''' '''Since the 28 August consensus at Talk''', denied by the Article page disrupters without discussion at Talk, and since the reverters have made no articulation for the summary blanking of my several posts on more than one topic, nor have they made any reply <u>''before the Other-reverters-duo sent a Revert Warning''</u>, the Warning further posted without either a general or an itemized explanation, :'''5.''' So I am interested in initiating an RfC addressing the three elements of the 4-editor consensus unopposed by a like number at Talk. The stated Editorial rationale for adopting this terminology uniformly throughout the ACW article is that, :- (a) It is better Editorial practice and better historiography to name historic actors participating in an event (Unionists, Secessionists, voters) rather than unspecified abstractions (states), :- (b) The WP Editorial voice here should remain [[wp:neutral]] without signaling "Constitutionality" for one side or the other, and :- (c) The ACW article should align with the terminology used at [[Confederate States of America]], "Secessionists <u>declared secession</u> for their State", ::Example alternate phrasing: ''Secessionists in each State declared Ordinances of Secession'', or ''At their Ordinances of Secession, Secessionists in each State assumed State offices and sought to withdraw the State delegation from the U.S. Congress''. :Thank you for your patience.

As CaptainEek initiated an edit war by reverting my edit without replying to a 9-day post on Talk proposing changes to the Introduction, I trust a similar one is forwarded to {{User|CaptainEek}} and another to {{user|Slatersteven}} who both have proposed that I revert an Intro paragraph which has not been altered 'Sixth [last] new Intro paragraph', <u>so there need no reverting one way or the other</u>. :- Otherwise, TWO (2) Article edits have been made to conform to constructive <u>discussion points made at Talk according to WP policy</u>, one (1) by CaptainEek and one (1) by {{user|Maurice Magnus}}. :At Talk section "Secession" in the WP editorial voice", a consensus was arrived at by four (4) Editors, {{user|Hog Farm}}, {{user|MattMauler}}, {{user|Alanscottwalker}} and myself to avoid interjecting the Constitutionality of "state secession" into the article so as to maintain a [[wp:neutral]] editorial voice. The discussion accepted the formulation "declared secession" by Secessionists -- rather than the partisan "states seceded" then existing in the Introduction. That post has aged now for 10-days without a reply to take exception to the consensus. :I structured discussion of my revisions made [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=American_Civil_War&diff=1108681995&oldid=1108678965 |here] on September 5 following two additional Talk sections without response. The first a 9-day (now 11) aged "The opening", my contributions at "Did the Southern states secede?" supported by Alenscottwalker, the most recent aged 10-days without a response. :Consistent with the 4-Editor consensus of August 28 that would bring the Intro at [[American Civil War]] in editorial alignment with [[Confederate States of America]], I crafted a Talk section "Opening in the Intro'' with my proposed text, to which there has been no response for 2-days since my post to Article main space. :- The Talk section '''Second new Intro paragraph''' <u>has no posted objection made by recent contributors</u>: Maurice Magnus, CaptainEek, nor Slatersteven. The earlier text and the revised paragraph are the same for two-thirds of the passage: {{tq|Decades of political controversy over slavery were brought to a head by the victory in the 1860 U.S. presidential election of Abraham Lincoln, ...}} so far so good - both revision texts are identical, old and new. ::'''But then a [[wp:ERROR]]:''' Political controversy is said to have been brought to a head by Lincoln {{tq|"who opposed the expansion of slavery."}} No, the political crisis came about NOT because of a Republican platform plank from 1956 and 1860, it had not done so in the previous 4-6 years because that was NOT the "tipping point" that brought the sectional crisis "to a head": That is ERROR. ::The Secession Crisis comes about <u>because</u>. '''Fire-Eater Secessionists seized the political initiative in the South by force of arms''' </u>in state after state during the “Secessionist Winter” 1860-61</u>. And that is the only "innovation" in that passage, a correction of [[wp:ERROR]] which editors are permitted to do without consensus, but then there is no objection made the the correction, only a tag-team edit war by CaptianEek and Slatersteven. :- At discussion of '''Fourth new Intro paragraph''', CaptainEek asserts that my revision is "bloated", so <u>''I invited him to underline WHERE the "bloat" is to be found''</u> in my '''144-word revision''' compared to the '''204word''' Intro paragraph previous. ::'''Both versions''' account for the Western Theater, Eastern Theater, Emancipation Proclamation, the Union Blockade, New Orleans, the Mississippi River, Vicksburg, Antietam, Gettysburg, Sherman's March to the Sea, and the surrender of Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. -- The new revision includes the surrender of North Carolina forces in 60 fewer words: there is no "bloating" in the new Intro revision. :As no Talk contributing Editor has found "bloating" yet, there is no reverting to be done at this "Fourth new Intro paragraph", until there is a substantial objection made, '''at which time,''' I will again incorporate suggestions as I have <u>twice before</u> on Talk and at the Article main space. :In the '''Fifth new Intro paragaph''' the lead sentence explains that the hard-fighting Confederate soldiers did not simple give-up, they were honorably parolled, and then restored their U.S. citizenship - a crucial key to the ending of regional conflict without protracted guerrilla warfare suggested by some of J.Davis lieutenants. :- Otherwise, '''there is another error corrected in the new revision:''' ERROR: {{tq|"The war-torn nation then entered the Reconstruction era in a partially successful attempt to rebuild the country..."}} it is corrected by the new revision: <u>''Post-Civil War America became an industrial giant surpassing Europe in the Industrial Revolution by 1900, but at a social cost that engendered substantial labor unrest.[a]''</u> :- The revision that {{user|Slatersteven}} has continued in the tag-team EDIT WAR [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=American_Civil_War&diff=1108822806&oldid=1108821436 |here] has now restored ::'''(1)''' The previous partisan editorial voice stating, "states seceded", in contravention to the 4-Editor consensus of 28 August for [[wp:neutral]] WP voice in the article to conform to that adopted at [[Confederate States of America]], replacing the Talk-agreed to formulation that Secessionists in various states "declared secession" or "adopted Ordinances of Secession" (style) 1860-1861. ::'''(1)''' the [[wp:ERROR]] that a Republican Party platform plank 1856-1860 brought the crisis as newspaper print, not Fire-Eater Secessionists as historical actors, ::'''(2)''' the counter-factual error that Reconstruction was only partially successful in rebuilding the country, when it led to corporate consolidation continentally and a booming Industrial Age, and ::'''(3)''' speciously purporting that a 204 summary of military action replacing the concise 104-word revised summary by <u>wrongly</u> asserting the shorter summary is "bloated", without [[wp:good faith]] collegial editorial work by underlining said phrases at Talk as I invited all editors, and CaptainEek specifically, to do. :Thank you in advance for your consideration in this matter.

[[User:TheVirginiaHistorian|TheVirginiaHistorian]] ([[User talk:TheVirginiaHistorian#top|talk]]) 14:56, 7 September 2022 (UTC) :'''1.''' '''The Four-Editor consensus as referenced at Talk and at my Article posts''' is the 28 August Talk Section: "Secession in the WP Editorial voice". '''Result:''' that Secessionists in each Confederate state had declared secession for their state. The stated Editorial rationale for adopting this terminology uniformly throughout the ACW article is that, :- (a) It is better Editorial practice and better historiography to name historic actors participating in an event (Unionists, Secessionists, voters) rather than unspecified abstractions (states), ::- especially when the 'states' under discussion are made up of residents. The abstraction may be fairly represented when a super majority agrees, otherwise it is properly described as "divided". In the American democratic-republics in the 1860 states, the political will was expressed by the voting population, and 77% of the states in the C.S. Congress had <u>''neither a referendum''</u>, <u>''nor a Convention''</u> elected to decide that the political abstraction "state" might "secede". --- <u>''But Secessionists in those 10 states did declare [[Ordinances of Secession]]''</u>. :- (b) The WP Editorial voice at ACW should remain [[wp:neutral]] without signaling "Constitutionality" for one side or the other, :- (c) to align the ACW article to the terminology used at [[Confederate States of America]]. :'''2.''' <u>''IF there were a reason for your revert''</u>, why cannot that reason be disclosed at Talk before the Other-Revert-Duo reversion to allow for Editor discussion on the merits? The consensus was formed 28 August, you reverted 9-days later without discussion. :'''3.''' If I were at 2-reverts, which I do not believe I am, <u>''and which you see documented above without taking exception''</u> --- as the Other-Revert-Duo is at 2-reverts in blanking my contributions without commenting at Talk as provided for reasonable Editor discussion - posted in 6-parargraph Talk sections there ---, ::How is it that any administrator at the time of a Revert Warning would not post [[wp:good faith]] linked reverts related to the warning -- so that there may be either '''(a)''' Editor-learning at the event, OR '''(b)''' opportunity for reasonable Editor discussion on the merits -- as a GOOD result? :'''4.''' '''Since the 28 August consensus at Talk''', denied by the Article page disrupters without discussion at Talk, and since the reverters have made no articulation for the summary blanking of my several posts on more than one topic, nor have they made any reply <u>''before the Other-reverters-duo sent a Revert Warning''</u>, the Warning further posted without either a general or an itemized explanation, :'''5.''' So I am interested in initiating an RfC addressing the three elements of the 4-editor consensus unopposed by a like number at Talk. The stated Editorial rationale for adopting this terminology uniformly throughout the ACW article is that, :- (a) It is better Editorial practice and better historiography to name historic actors participating in an event (Unionists, Secessionists, voters) rather than unspecified abstractions (states), :- (b) The WP Editorial voice here should remain [[wp:neutral]] without signaling "Constitutionality" for one side or the other, and :- (c) The ACW article should align with the terminology used at [[Confederate States of America]], "Secessionists <u>declared secession</u> for their State", ::Example alternate phrasing: ''Secessionists in each State declared Ordinances of Secession'', or ''At their Ordinances of Secession, Secessionists in each State assumed State offices and sought to withdraw the State delegation from the U.S. Congress''. :Thank you for your patience. I'll get to it shortly. [[User:TheVirginiaHistorian|TheVirginiaHistorian]] ([[User talk:TheVirginiaHistorian#top|talk]]) 14:56, 7 September 2022 (UTC) == Copy-editing American Revolutionary War Article== I am a new MILTHIST member interested in providing simple editing help, and this article was on the list of articles needing grammatical revision. My experience is primarily in World War I (as in, that's the conflict for which I have the most books). But this article seems like a fairly important article to need prose checked. It seems you are one of the primary contributors. Is there any way I can be of help? If there's a better place for me to carry on this discussion, do let me know. [[User:Orcanami|Orcanami; or the 🌊⬛🐬⬜🌊]]([[User talk: Orcanami|talk]]) 16:56, 10 October 2022 (UTC) :{{Yo|Orcanami}} Welcome to the fray. :- '''MY PRIMARY INTEREST HERE''' is based on a career in high school history teaching. I would like to contribute to the Wikipedia Institute's goal of making well-sourced knowledge about U.S. history widely available to four categories of User: (1) the general U.S. reader, (2) the U.S. student researcher, (3) the general English-speaking reader, and (4) the English-as-a-second-language international reader. :'''Issue:''' many WP editors have little or no knowledge or concern for how an international reader may understand the parochial axe-grinding and hobby-horses of American schools of academic thought on a subject, never mind the various partisan and Neo-partisan angles that are introduced into the English (US) language Wikipedia. :'''REGARDING the ARW:''' As I followed the discussion over a few weeks on whether to include "signers of the Articles of Confederation" as Article "Founders" (I'm for it), along with my own topical research at the time, I was struck by how many of the "Signers of the Declaration" were <u>additionally</u> signers of other documents contended by multiple editors in various coalitions, for "Founder Document" candidates to add to the Chart-list of "Founders". :-In this "frame of reference" paradigm, I follow [[Pauline Maier]] to this extent: the chunks of historiography bracketing arbitrary year-spans for scholarly convenience are not the lives lived by historical actors in their contemporary time(s). :- Signers of the Declaration included SEVERAL of the signers (voters) in <u>every</u> <u>one</u> of the following documents that include the Archives’ “Foundations of Freedom” documents”: :(1) Continental Association, (2) Declaration of Independence, (3) Articles of Confederation, (4) US Constitution, (5) State Ratification Conventions, (6) First Congress (Bill of Rights Amendments roll call votes available online at the Library of Congress “American Memory”, tabs at each Congress’ House and Senate votes, debates). :'''Issue:''' Shall the Article “Founders” chart include the names of only those attending the beginning of the Second Continental Congress (regardless of their votes for the Declaration, since several of the No or Not-voting Delegates for Declaration signed or voted for one-or-more of the other 6 “Founding Documents”, : - HOWEVER, the narrative introduction to the Chart should be expanded to describe each of the “Signers-voters” events with links there, and then link the Chart column titles for the five (5) additional web pages that treats each sub-set of signatories for those five respective documents. : - in this way, the chart can be small enough to be comprehended easily on several User platforms . . . but extend a more comprehensive quick-access knowledge base for interested Users that is possible only so well by using Wikipedia article links, imho: U.S. Historical Biographies, State histories, Congress (Continental, Articles, Constitutional), Revolutionary Era, Constitutional Era, New Nation Era, depending on your high school essay assignment, or your graduate school of university study.
