Talk:Levi Clark Booles

The statements are too difficult to verify. Don Carlos Buell (1818-98) is the nearest name that I saw. He served under Generals Taylor and Scott. Superslum 07:00, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

--Robert 14:46, 1 May 2006 (UTC)This is not Don Carlos Buell. The person is a veteran of the Mexican-American War and the American Civil War. The obituary can be found on the website BrooklynEagle.com. I believe the listing of Mexican-American War veterans is a contribution which is a nice addition to Wikipedia. There will be some overlap with Civil War veterans. But General Levi Clark Booles is not the same man as Don Carlos Buell, who reinforced General Sherman at Shiloh.[reply]

I am discarding the POV tag. The article should be "Wikified" into categories by using the standard method, an example of which looks this way: Category:1799 births|Booles, General Levi Clark (which is then inclosed in doubled brackets by placing a pair of brackets at the fore and this opposed type -->]] after the name of the individual).

I am avoiding the article because I do not have any information on the person, such as place of birth and place where educated. When did he graduate? I would like to know if he attended the Military Academy at West Point, New York. Except for George Washington, (born in 1732 when schools were not available), Army generals have been college graduates, so there is a "track record" on all of them.

There is a rule in the "super-slum" that I live in: Don't start me to lying. Rumor mongers tend to imagine and speak information which is repeated by other people. Thus a "buzz" results. Superslum 08:15, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Superslum had suspected that something was amiss with this article, so after he expired due to stress and exasperation produced by various Wikipedians who place misinformation into the Wikipedia, I delved into "Levi Clark Booles" for him. Suspicious Superslum was right on target, in two areas. (1.) Soldier Levi Clark Bootes existed, but "Levi Clark Booles" never existed. (2.) Soldier Bootes began as a Private and rose to be a Colonel.

General Spinola was also wounded at Gettysburg. He does not have an article in Wikipedia. GhostofSuperslum 05:37, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
