Could anybody add a campaignbox to this article? Or is there no available template for the ACW yet?
Map's wrong -- it shows the Virginia part of DC, which had reverted to Virginia IIRC in the 1820s. Bthylafh 15:38, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
Is there any particular reason the Gettysburg Campaign is listed as having 47,000 casualties when the Battle of Gettysburg is recorded as having 51,000??? --Calder 20:41, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
I am in the process of rewriting this article, expanding it and modifying the format to match some of my more recent campaign articles. The known deficiencies are a temporary paucity of citations and the Retreat section needs a complete rewrite, which I hope to attend to pretty quickly. I had hoped to do this all in one edit, but I decided that cross-referencing from the new Retreat from Gettysburg article needed this article to be at least partially finished and posted.

Per WP:BRD I have reverted the move made on 18 July. Gettysburg Campaign was recently moved under the claim " Case norm; overwhelmingly lowercase in sources", and yet even N-grams fields a greater number of results for capitalised Campaign if I search without context and ZERO results for "campaign" if the search is expanded with wildcards. Did the proposer lie or mislead? A simple RM was made, no proof given, no notifications to MilHist, the moving admin did not verify the claim. The process is a shambles and the argument for MOS case normalising invalidated. The use of N-grams is usually what you offer, @ Dicklyon but in this case the RM was placed under uncontroversial moves and went unsupported. Using both a non-context and a context-based N-gram search, as you yourself have argued over at Waterloo Campaign, we can plainly see that capitalised Campaign is favoured, in both cases. You asked to be told when you made any mistakes. Here's one. I was not overwhelmed. — Marcus( talk) 03:42, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
