editTerrific work! You got me interested - did not mean to generate edit conflict. I was going to support your idea of the separate articles, so will read the discussion at the National Register project to understand the issues. The NR nomination form had some great material on the several forts and related development. Parkwells (talk) 14:58, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
- No issue about the edit conflict! It happens and it was easily resolved anyway. I appreciate all the help I can get. From what I gathered from the discussion on the National Register project, to justify a separate article for the memorial, we mainly just need more specific information about the actual memorial site and what's located therein, which I'm sure can be found in http://www.nps.gov/history/history/online_books/arpo1/clr.pdf and a variety of other sources.

editJohn House's nomination form of the site is dated 1998 - he referred to Bearss' 1970s material, but had likely drawn from additional materials about the forts, settlements, etc. since that publication. It's at <<http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Text/66000198.pdf>> It includes a description of the current memorial grounds, including 20th c. buildings and plantings.Parkwells (talk) 15:34, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
Thanks
editHey! Thanks for your assistance in helping the overhaul for Arkansas Post. There is a ton of information in the following sources: http://www.encyclopediaofarkansas.net/encyclopedia/entry-detail.aspx?entryID=3, http://www.nps.gov/history/nr/travel/american_latino_heritage/Arkansas_Post_National_Memorial.html, http://www.nps.gov/history/history/online_books/arpo1/clr.pdf, http://www.nps.gov/arpo/historyculture/upload/Colbert-Raid-Study.pdf. I noticed you already added a bit from the NPS Colbert Raid study. There is a lot of information to comb through, and the article has a ways to go, but I think we can easily get it up to the quality it deserves. Thanks again for helping!

- Hi again - glad to help! It's an interesting site with all the different cultures. I moved this Talk here because you included sources, which might be useful for other editors, too. The House nomination, which I mentioned above, had more info than the Colbert Raid study, as it was done in 1998 rather than 1974.Parkwells (talk) 15:41, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
