Elisha Hunt Rhodes

Elisha Hunt Rhodes (March 21, 1842 – January 14, 1917) was an American soldier who served in the Union Army of the Potomac for the entire duration of the American Civil War, rising from corporal to colonel of his regiment by war's end. Rhodes' illustrative diary of his war service was quoted prominently in Ken Burns's 1990 PBS documentary series The Civil War, read by Chris Murney.

Early life
Rhodes was born in Pawtuxet, Rhode Island, to Elisha H. Rhodes and Eliza A. Chase. He had several sisters and two brothers. At age 14, Rhodes attended Potter and Hammond's Business Academy in Providence.

His father drowned when his schooner, the merchant ship Worcester, was sunk by a hurricane on December 10, 1858. He was buried on Linyards Cay, Abaco in the Bahamas.

Civil War
Rhodes served with the 2nd Rhode Island Volunteer Infantry throughout its service during the American Civil War.

Rhodes enlisted in the war with his mother's permission. At first he believed war to be an adventure. During the war, he advanced from corporal to lieutenant colonel in command of the regiment.

He enlisted on June 5, 1861 and was appointed to the rank of corporal. He was promoted to sergeant major on March 1, 1862 and to 2nd lieutenant on July 24 of the same year.

On April 15, 1863 he was promoted to 1st lieutenant and placed in command of Company B. He became the regiment's adjutant, with the rank of 1st lieutenant, on November 6, 1863. He served in this capacity until the regiment was reorganized on June 17, 1864.

On June 21, 1864 he was promoted to captain and assigned to Company B but was also ordered to command the regiment, which he did for the remainder of the war. He received a brevet (honorary promotion) to the rank of major on December 5, 1864.

On February 6, 1865 he was promoted to lieutenant colonel and placed in command of the regiment. On April 2 he received a brevet to the rank of colonel in recognition of his service in the Petersburg campaign. He was mustered out of service, along with his regiment, on July 13, 1865.

Postbellum career
After the war, he became a successful businessman and became active in veterans' affairs. He never missed a regimental reunion of the 2nd Rhode Island Volunteer Infantry.

He married Caroline Pearce Hunt (1841–1930) on June 12, 1866 and had a son, Frederick Miller Rhodes and a daughter Alice Caroline Rhodes Chace.

He was appointed as collector of U. S. Internal Revenue in Rhode Island in 1875.

From June 25, 1879 until March 21, 1892 he served as the commander of the Brigade of Rhode Island Militia with the rank of brigadier general.

During his time in office General Rhodes helped transform the militia into a more professional organization and established the state training ground at Quonset Point in North Kingstown.

Memberships
Rhodes was very active in the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR), the largest of several organizations for Union veterans. He was Adjutant of Prescott Post, No. 1, in 1867, Commander of the post the next year, Assistant Adjutant General of the Department of Rhode Island in 1871, Commander of the department in 1872–73, member of the National Encampment in 1874–75. He served for one year (1877–78) as the GAR's national senior vice commander.

He was also Vice President of the Society of the Army of the Potomac in 1877, and president of the Second Rhode Island Volunteer Association. He was also president of the Rhode Island Soldiers' and Sailors' Historical Society since its formation in 1873, and in 1879 was Vice President of the 6th Army Corps Association.

In 1892 he was elected as a companion of the Massachusetts Commandery of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States (MOLLUS) — a military society composed of officers who had served in the Union armed forces during the Civil War. He was assigned MOLLUS insignia number 9476.

An active Freemason, having joined the fraternity while home on leave in 1864, he served as Worshipful Master of Harmony Lodge, No. 9, in Cranston, Rhode Island. He was later elected Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Rhode Island for 1892-1893.

Death and burial
Rhodes died in Providence on January 14, 1917. He and his wife are buried at the Rhodes family plot in Swan Point Cemetery in Providence.

Legacy
Elisha Hunt Rhodes is most remembered for his wartime journal and letters published as All For the Union by a great-grandson, Robert H. Rhodes. This diary reflects Rhodes' ideas about the Civil War, including his unwavering belief that the Union must be preserved, as well as his Christian faith and belief in God. At the end it shows a somewhat conflicted young man who wanted to be home with his family after trials of war but who also found life in the Army very agreeable to him. His writings were made famous by their incorporation into filmmaker Ken Burns' 1990 landmark PBS-TV documentary series The Civil War.

His large collection of personal relics and mementos is now owned by the Rhode Island Historical Society in Providence.

Fair use rationale for File:Holmboe medium.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Holmboe medium.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Mortsan. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Mortsan~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 01:58, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Def jux banner.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Def jux banner.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 02:24, 13 March 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Geniac (talk) 02:24, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Image:Def jux banner.gif
A tag has been placed on Image:Def jux banner.gif requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image with an unknown source or an unknown copyright status which has been tagged as such for more than 7 days, and it still lacks the necessary information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on  explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

File:Pastapo.png needs authorship information.
Dear uploader:

The media file you uploaded as File:Pastapo.png appears to be missing information as to its authorship (and or source), or if you did provide such information, it is confusing for others trying to make use of the image.

It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media clearer.

Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided),authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).

 * If you created this media yourself, please consider explicitly including your user name, for which: will produce an appropriate expansion, or use the own template..

 * If this is an old image, for which the authorship is unknown or impossible to determine, please indicate this on the file description page.

If you have any questions please see Help:Image page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 09:20, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

File:Pastapo.png missing description details
Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as: is missing a description and/or other details on its image description page. If possible, please add this information. This will help other editors make better use of the image, and it will be more informative to readers.
 * File:Pastapo.png

If the information is not provided, the image may eventually be proposed for deletion, a situation which is not desirable, and which can easily be avoided.

If you have any questions, please see Help:Image page. Thank you. Theo's Little Bot (error?) 01:19, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:RockfordLhotka.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link].

Fair use rationale for Image:Biomechanical_band_photo.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Biomechanical_band_photo.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:01, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Template talk:New York Stock Exchange

Purpose
Provides a link based on an NYSE stock symbol, and automatically categorizes the page under Category:Companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

See also:
 * Template:Nyse2 (similar template, except without the auto-categorization)

How to use this template
Type the following, replacing XXXX with the company's stock symbol:

 * nyse: XXXX

Example

 * Royal Bank of Canada is a publically traded company ( nyse: RY, tsx: RY ).

Layout

 * Do NOT bold the ticker. - Jerryseinfeld 21:45, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Do NOT put a space on either side of the colon . - Jerryseinfeld 22:22, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * You wanna update Nasdaq template to make it uniform?

Source
Why was the link changed from Yahoo to nyse.com? The information lacks. - Jerryseinfeld 21:47, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Do you work for Yahoo!?
 * See Nasdaq template1 and Nasdaq template2.

Should template:nyse be used on NASDAQ-listed stocks?
There is a disagreement over whether Template:Nyse should be used on NASDAQ-listed stocks. Please see Template talk:Infobox Company. Rhobite 00:12, Apr 3, 2005 (UTC)

Short version?
Is there a "short version" of Template:Nyse, like Template:Ndaq for NASDAQ links instead of Template:Nasdaq? tregoweth 02:20, August 21, 2005 (UTC)

 * As per the precedent of Template:Nasdaq & Template:Ndaq, as well as Template:Tsx and Template:Tsx2, I have created Template:Nyse2 for use in instances when auto-categorization to Category:Companies traded on the New York Stock Exchange is not desirable. Kurieeto 23:52, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Please do not remove the category from this template, it breaks hundreds of company articles. Use Template:Nyse2. Rhobite 15:10, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

Parentheses
I suggest that we do not include parentheses here, in order to better combine with similar templates. For example: (NYSE: SNE, TYO: 6758) Shawnc 15:35, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

Reason for bold?
If the reason is uniformity, then all the other ticker symbol templates should be changed so as not to be bold either. This makes the ticker symbol stand out inappropriately from the rest of the text. It is often a parenthetical addition and is by no means as as important as the leading line title, or defining a term in an article. If an editor wants it to be bold in one of the rare cases where it would be appropriate in an article, then that boldness can be formatted without including it in the template itself. -- Centrx 18:19, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Totally for uniformity, I'm not particularly fussed whether they're bold or not, I just noticed on the HSBC article as 4 of the 5 listings have bold in their templates. All I would say is that they all should be the same either way. Ian3055 18:41, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Do you know if we could get a bot to do this, there are three or four dozen templates in Category:Ticker symbol templates... -- Centrx 22:42, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm leaning towards unbolding them for the reasons given by Centrx. The most important thing is uniformity, of course. You could probably use something like AutoWikiBrowser to do this, but you may need a little regex knowledge. Rhobite 22:49, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

I have unbolded all of the templates. —Centrx→talk • 04:18, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Requested change
editprotected I don't think the protection icon template (pp-template) has been placed correctly here (inside the tag). It seems to be causing the padlock to appear at the top of all the pages on which it transcludes. Any chance it could be moved into the section? Gr1st (talk) 22:52, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ Done ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 00:04, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Nyse → NYSE
Why the template called Nyse instead of NYSE? This is an abbreviation, isn`t it?--Александр Мотин (talk) 21:36, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
 * The template was created in 2004; that may have been before the software could handle multiple uppercase letters in titles. You'll see a lot of articles about "John smith" from that era, too.  WhatamIdoing (talk) 00:35, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Docs?
Can we please have

added to the end of this template? (Per Template:Documentation, there should be no space between the end of the NYSE template and the noinclude codes here.) The doc page exists. WhatamIdoing (talk) 00:33, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * ✅ and moved all the interwiki stuff over there. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 05:27, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Template adding non-article pages into article category
This template is adding non-article pages into Category:Companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange - please add a main other template to prevent this, as I have done in other similar templates, for example Template:Lse). snigbrook (talk) 19:39, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
 * ✅ — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:44, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Catalan
Please, somebody add ca:Plantilla:NYSE. Thanks. - Al Lemos (talk) 15:45, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Use this URL instead
The URL currently in use by this template assumes that the stock symbol entered is correct. We should use NYSE's own quote-search engine instead, so in the worst case when the stock symbol doesn't exist or there are multiple possibilities, NYSE will return the alternatives instead of returning you to the wrong stock or a non-existent page.

So, replace the following:

http://www.nyse.com/about/listed/.html

With the following:

http://www.nyse.com/about/listed/quickquote.html?ticker=

Gary King ( talk ) 21:43, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
 * ✅. Did that work? HJ Mitchell  |  Penny for your thoughts?   23:04, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
 * No. You removed the text for the link. Just follow the instructions above exactly, and the {{uc: won't be removed. Gary King  ( talk ) 00:02, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Any better? HJ Mitchell  |  Penny for your thoughts?   00:09, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay good Gary King  ( talk ) 00:13, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Multiple stocks on the same exchange
Many companies like Berkshire Hathaway, have different classes of stock on the same exchange. Instead of listing the exchange twice, can we modify the template to accept two or three symbols?

e.g. (nyse: BRK.A BRK.B to output (NYSE: BRK.A, BRK.B). Here is the code: Thanks--Svgalbertian (talk) 22:11, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Sounds reasonable. I suppose the alternative is typing ? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 10:42, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeap, that is the method currently used.--Svgalbertian (talk) 16:12, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
 * One thing that worries me is that if we code that on this template, people may begin to expect other templates to behave like this, which may lead to some confusion. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 17:16, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

No that it's a big deal but is more efficient in most cases. Rich Farmbrough, 17:25, 10 October 2010 (UTC).

 * Seems fine to leave it the way it is. I agree that we'd then have to bring similar templates in line with this one if it's updated. Gary King  ( talk  ·  scripts )  23:39, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Requested deactivated for now. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:03, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Current practice is to do the following: (nyse: BRK.A, ) to produce identical results --Svgalbertian (talk) 15:09, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

Current URL Can't handle periods
Examples:
 * Royal Dutch Shell: nyse: RDS.A vs nyse: RDSA
 * Berkshire Hathaway: nyse: BRK.B vs nyse: BRKB

To me there are two possible solutions

a) Use this URL instead as it can handle it. e.g. http://www.nyse.com/about/listed/quickquote.html?ticker=

b) Strip the periods ourselves: [http://www.nyse.com/about/listed/lcddata.html?ticker=

The downfall to A is it adds a redirect for the user. The downfall to B is that it is more processing on the Wikipedia server side. I recommend B as the impact should be small. --Svgalbertian (talk) 15:06, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes check.svg Done with option A. Jackmcbarn (talk) 17:18, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

Stopped work
It throws "Your search "quickquote" did not match any pages. Try using broader keywords or phrases." Seems "quickquote.html" is gone. --fireattack (talk) 21:11, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Fixed, although the fix is to a beta page so it might stop working eventually.--Svgalbertian (talk) 03:26, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

Can this template be used for indices?
If I want to link to e.g. the NYSE Composite index, this template will not work: nyse: NYA (correct link). Is there a way to use this template anyway? Or do I need to manually use the URL? Lonaowna (talk) 14:40, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

Multiple Symbols, like the TSX's template
I propose a version of this template that allows multiple symbols so we don't have to use anymore. This has been done with the TSX's template already. Omegatiger121 (talk) 23:36, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

Perry Park (Iowa)

Perry Park was the home field for the Keokuk Westerns of the National Association during the 1875 season, so it is considered a major league ballpark by those who count the NA as a major league. The Westerns played their first game against the Chicago White Stockings on May 4, 1875, at Perry Park, which was located in a field beyond Rand Park. They played their last game on June 14, 1875, against the New York Mutuals also at Perry Park.
