Read with interest the changes you made to this article that I authored. Some questions that came to mind as I read the article:

• Do you think the rewrite has now refocused the article on the final form of the unit, the 9th Massachusetts Regiment, rather than the 26th Continental Regiment?

- Are we certain we want to include the previous and follow on units in the infobox of the article? We already had treated that fairly well in the body of the article.

- Is the paragraph title change "1775 history" you made appropriate? The text of the paragraph deals with 1776.

• Your comment says "prepare to move"? Do you intend to move this article somewhere else under a different title? If so, what is you logic?

• The legacy paragraph about reenactors seems to be only about the 9th Regiment as well.

• Would not a separate article about the 9th MA Regt unit be more appropriate?

Thanks,

I was looking through all of the regiments in the Massachusetts Line, which have an exceptionally tangled history of numbering and naming. Those that have clear continuity across the various establishments of the Continental Army are, with the exception of the 26th Cont/9th Mass, named for the latest-established name, and also (when they are more than stubs) typically have history that covers all of the establishments, not just one. Given that the 26th is clearly a successor to Gerrish's Regiment and a predecessor to the 9th Mass, one article should be able to cover all of that history, and (for consistency's sake) it should be called "9th Massachusetts Regiment" rather than "26th Continental Regiment". This also makes sense given that the regiment was designated the 9th Mass for a longer period of time. Magic♪piano 03:38, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
