274: 822:- Thanks for taking a look. I've added an 1863 woodcut of the battle itself. The other option would be File:Ag2008 0005 1 02 10 gregg opt.jpg, which probably needs a rename on Commons (I plan on requesting the rename to something more meaningful tomorrow). For the title, I agree that it's probably better to move it, but I'll be opening a RM on it and placing a neutral notice notice at the project talk page, as a move of this would likely be precedent-setting, as it seems that about all of the entries in 361: 334: 306: 371: 464: 290: 476: 159: 33: 231: 220: 209: 198: 187: 830:. Seems like a more centralized discussion for naming orbats is needed. I'll be opening that RM tomorrow, once I get some sleep. I'll also deal with the other points tomorrow and send it through ACR once I get a nomination cleared through there, as I don't like having more than three ACR noms open at a time, as I feel like I'm overwhelming the process. 99: 64: 799:
Happy to re-assess as BL as soon as image(s) have been added. Some suggestions include a portrait of Gregg or another a Confederate commander who was an important influence on the outcome of the battle, images of the guns used by the artillery in the battle, a map of the battle etc. See the Yugoslav

Avoiding the removal of essential information is better: "Confederate order of battle at the Battle of Raymond" is unambiguous and clear even to readers unfamiliar with the topic; as well as being more in line with what you would expect (Since, in some cases - maybe not this one, but for

are in the format of "Raymond Confederate order of battle" or "Camp Wildcat Union order of battle". It makes sense to me to try to get a standardized naming system for these orbats, so its consistent across the encyclopedia.
848:; we should be taking the lead from the existing FL orbats which have been reviewed by a number of experienced Milhist editors rather than how one or two individuals have decided to title ORBAT lists for the ACW. Now BL. 313: 82: 608:- at least in this case - the meaning of the current title isn't very clear - it isn't apparent that this applies to the Battle of Raymond, rather than to someone with the strange name of Raymond Confederate. 795:
Carrying that point on, you shouldn't rehash the battle article background and body in the lead of the orbat list, the lead of the list should just summarise the order of battle, not the battle itself.
729:, this is my preferred titling. I also agree that a combined ORBAT for the battle is probably better, this one isn't massive, and I doubt the Union one is either given the size of the engagement. 919: 884: 789: 894: 879: 889: 401: 655:
Separate from my !vote above: the two orders of battle for this engagement are both rather too short to warrant separate articles: maybe merging them could be considered an option?
767: 418: 172: 149: 111: 785:, that battle is very famous internationally, and Midway is synonymous with the battle. This battle is obscure, and the title needs to clearly explain what the list is about. 634:
is also inconsistent, and might need further clean-up after this. If this RM goes ahead I'd suggest a mass-proposal for all of those in the category above to be moved too.
544: 454: 158: 792:
for an example from an FL. This means adding any detail to the body (with citations) that you want to include in the lead, then removing the citations from the lead.
904: 770:. However, it needs an image for b5=y, and if you add one, I'll assess it as BL-class. For this reason, I have assessed it as List-class for now, rather than Start. 677:
weight on the listing of the individual units. With the sources discussing the component parts of the two sides, it seems that the split-out pages are warranted.

In general terms, long before ORBATs get to Featured status, they are generally classed as lists rather than articles. See the eleven FL ORBATs at

Sure. A central discussion is a good idea. The other ACW ones are equally as problematic in terms of being distinguishable and recognizable per

A few things, nothing of which affects the List-class assessment of the list as it stands:
573:– Looking at the MILHIST Fls, there seems to be two types of naming - "Order of battle at 609: 305: 868: 831: 693: 678: 591: 389: 463: 289: 698:
