Editbot just changed the template: https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Lee-19592&diff=next&oldid=61255767

Changes log seems to show it was a Wikitree'r on February 20th, 2018.

Okay. Saw Changes by editbot at the bottom and wondered if computer programs would rule the world.

That's what it looked like to me, Jamie.

Wilson was the first soldier in my family . We're very proud of him . Every generation of my mom's line served their country, including my grampa King in WW2 and Grampa's cousin , Quitman Walker,  who was a Tuskegee Airman, killed in action.

I would like Wilson's service record to remain unmolested.

uhm... look at previous changes....  I think what you are talking about as gone was me on 19 Feb 2018 removing all the generic unit battle history that you listed on his profile and putting in a reference saying  go to the category page to read about the unit.  

keep in mind that a unit history is not the individual's history, the person could have enlisted after/discharged before, been sick in hospital, on furlough etc.

and to get him out of the maintenance category...

comment on the change was (updated military category)

when I go into a profile, also work on other military items, and usually FAG entries, missing headers, project boxes/stickers, etc.  You can only put so much in a comment before it ends up being just look at the changes tab.

anyway...  now that you had Paula PPP, it needs {{US Civil War Project|side=USA}}
