Erm, the article title is Nathaniel Prentiss Banks, but the article text claims this spelling is incorrect. Google searches for Nathaniel Prentiss Banks and Nathaniel Prentice Banks do not resolve the situation, though the former seems to be more frequent. Can anyone come up with an authoritative spelling? -- Saforrest 15:32, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
I removed the refimprove tag. When an article gets to a certain stage, and has references, the Wikipedia practice is not to apply a vague blanket tag but to address an issue or issues. If there are particular issues please use citation needed or this talk page so particular improvements can be addressed. Otr500 ( talk) 00:00, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
Under the section Siege of Port Hudson there is vague and confusing writing. There may be some use of time specific language but any attempted interpretation would simply be conjecture. "When the Confederates reduced their garrison at Port Hudson, Louisiana, on the Mississippi, he invested that place in May 1863. Two attempts to carry the works by storm during the Siege of Port Hudson, as at Vicksburg, were dismal failures."

I'll do this one. My knowledge of US politics and the ACW is a bit limited, but this looks to be in very good shape from the off. Peacemaker67 ( click to talk to me) 10:30, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
Done down to Civil War, will get on with that tomorrow.

SamWinchester000, if in 1855 Banks chaired the Republican National Convention, and in 1856 supported Fremont for president, couldn't we say that by 1855 he was no longer a Know Nothing? Thus, the dates for him as a Know Nothing would be given as (1854-1855).
Also, many Know Nothings, in fact probably the majority, never became Republicans. In the 1856 election Fillmore, the Know Nothing candidate, received most of his votes from the South, where the Republican Party was virtually nonexistent. A great many former Know Nothings supported Bell in 1860. By Reconstruction, they were nearly all Democrats. The Republicans picked off a few Know Nothings, like Banks and Thaddeus Stevens-but the rest generally considered the party too radical on abolitionism.
