Has there been any discussion about the preferred title of this battle? I grew up minutes away from this site, and have never heard it referred to as "The Battle of Monocacy Junction." It is my understanding that the general rule of thumb in naming battles was to name battles won by the Confederates after geographical features and battles won by Union after place names. I don't even believe the railroad junction was actually named Monocacy Junction. I believe it was known as Frederick Junction. I propose we move the article to "Battle of Monocacy" and make "Battle of Monocacy Junction" the redirect. — Xanderer 13:22, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
The infobox and main body of the article disagree: 2359 total vs. 1294 (which includes captured) plus 700-900. Clarityfiend 23:14, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Exactly the same as the title. I'm arguing that it should be, since it had success in its purpose (i.e. to delay the Confederate troops). If you see fault in this, say so and why. Executor Tassadar ( talk) 12:28, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
