[Resolved] Confederate and Union Civil War Generals
February 12, 2018 02:12PM
Would it be possible for a checker for each of these? GC3AD0B and GC3AD08

Wikipedia has the list of names.

Just curious.

Thanks

Both of them seems possible. Requirements are well defined. May need a new script but I can try this later.

It would help a lot if there was a complete list of names only.

there is already a script available from jpavlik

I will compile both lists and post here.

Could you also check if you can find any of these irregularities

What is the best way to send a list? File type? Or copy and paste to this forum?
Re: Confederate and Union Civil War Generals
February 12, 2018 03:31PM
List of names separater with commas or newlines works. At the end, the list will look like this:

"Adams","Adamses","Adams’s",...

No need to expand plurals and possessives in the primary list because the script can easily expand them if they are regular ones like "Green","Greens","Green's",...

Maybe it is best to make a separate expanded list only for irregular ones.
Re: Confederate and Union Civil War Generals

Having worked to qualify for these two challenges I can state that one problem with creating a checker is that there are various lists claiming to list all the generals, but the various lists do not include all the same names. So the challenges will need to specify which lists are the authoritative lists that the checkers are using.
GCo
Re: Confederate and Union Civil War Generals
February 28, 2018 04:33PM
I used Wikipedia for my lists which I would consider authoritative for the sake fo a challenge. If another is added it would be the CO's discretion to question it?

I have a spreadsheet with the generals but do I need to put into a document with each name separated by a comma and quotations around each?

If so, that would take me some time to complete due to lack of skills...
Re: Confederate and Union Civil War Generals
February 28, 2018 08:36PM
Any text format is good, for example, just copy each general in a separete line. I can add commas etc.
GCo
Re: Confederate and Union Civil War Generals
February 28, 2018 09:26PM
There are seven "Anderson"s for the confederate generals. The challenge allows seven finds with Anderson in the name for example.

Do you want me to delete the duplicates and the checker will name all the "Anderson" caches? Or leave all seven in the list?
Re: Confederate and Union Civil War Generals
February 28, 2018 09:49PM
Yes, this seems to be important and what I did not realized earlier, the checker should also display the full name.

GC39N43 Baker Road 13 Baker, Alpheus
GC39N48 Baker Road 14 Baker, Laurence S.
etc..

The list for the checker could be:
Baker, Alpheus
Baker, Laurence S.
etc...

Irregular plurals and possessives must be sorted somehow. Maybe a different list is the best.

GCo,

If you are using the Wikipedia list of Union generals, you should note that of the first five (5) listed, none of them had a regular commision in the US Army higher than Colonel. They are listed because they were given the Brevet (honorary) title of Brigadier or Major General at the end of the war. Continue through the list of Union generals and you will see this is common.

Some will dispute that a person that served through the Civil War at the rank of Major in the US Volunteers and got a brevet rank of Brigadier General at the end of the war should be considered as a general.

To lessen hassles consider including a link on the cache page to your list that you are using for the checker. That way everybody will know whether "Burnsides" counts or not for your challenge.

Thanks Charlie, this is for the challenges already posted. I am not creating new ones. It is up tot he owner to determine qualifications. I will reach out and see if he is okay with the wiki list.

Re: Confederate and Union Civil War Generals

How to get you the lists? Copy and paste to this forum?
Re: Confederate and Union Civil War Generals

Copy and paste is ok.
Currently making new scripts is not possible but it is good to check the list when you get it ready.

Von Steinwehr Adolph Wilhelm August Freidrich
Re: Confederate and Union Civil War Generals
March 08, 2018 10:04PM
Thanks!

I see that there are some irregular names. For example

"Von Steinwehr Adolph Wilhelm August Freidrich"

What is the name of this general when used in the challenge. Is it "Steinwehr" or "Von Steinwehr" or something else?
GCo
Re: Confederate and Union Civil War Generals
March 08, 2018 10:08PM
Adolph Wilhelm August Freidrich Von Steinwehr is his name first to last.

It would be amazing to find a geocache with that name!
Re: Confederate and Union Civil War Generals
March 08, 2018 10:20PM
OK

Von Steinwehr Adolph Wilhelm August Freidrich = "Von Steinwehr"
Van Alen James Henry = "Van Alen"
Maybe these are all last names containing two words.

Some names are broken like this:
Tyndale "Hector
(b. Tyndale"
Maybe some special character in the name?

And the most difficult part is to find names with irregular plural and possessive forms.

"Anderson Robert" match with "Anderson" or "Anderson's" and "Andersons"
but "Adams Daniel Weisiger " does not match to "Adams's" or "Adamss"
Could you find those names which have special plural or possessive form?
