This section records the rationale for American Civil War inclusions or omissions. It is obvious that this large menu could become dramatically larger and unusable if new entries are added without discrimination. We would like to establish the precedent that any changes to the menu are discussed in this Talk page prior to implementation.
General Usage: This list is exclusively for active Wikimedia article and category links. Do not include external URLs. Do not include red links (Wikipedia articles that have not been written yet). Links to stubs and multiple redirects to the same article are discouraged.
Rationale for the major headings in the menu:
There are many other monuments and memorials to add to this section. Are there criteria for inclusion? I fear expanding this section to its fullest potential would make the section way too large. --- Another Believer ( Talk) 14:38, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
I have added Baltimore riot of 1861 to "Other topics". It was a major event and arguably, as the article on it notes, produced the first deaths by hostile action of the Civil War. As the New York City riots of 1863 are in this section of the template this seemed the best place to put it. Dunarc ( talk) 21:48, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
In the reference footer, he is listed as a key "civilian" leader. I propose moving him to the "military" section because he served as a senior Confederate general in a LOT of significant battles. - Kingmaker
