The American Cato?
Wikipedia:List of encyclopedia topics/Biographies A lists Samuel Adams as having the nickname, "The American Cato."
However, there is presently nothing about "The American Cato" in this article. Would anyone care to research this and add it?

article moved
I moved Samuel Adams (American revolutionary) here because he had by far the largest number of incoming links: see [1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Whatlinkshere&target=Samuel_Adams) (after I changed the links to that page), compare to [2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Whatlinkshere&target=Samuel_Adams_%28naval_officer%29), [3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Whatlinkshere&target=Samuel_Adams_%28governor%29), [4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Whatlinkshere&target=Sam_Adams_%28football_player%29), and [5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Whatlinkshere&target=Samuel_Adams_%28beer%29). —No-One Jones (m) 18:09, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Differing viewpoints
Just a question to put out there, and before doing any editing i thought i would ask it. There are opposing views of Sam Adams' role in various events leading up the American Revolution, and this article tends to be more biased towards the "Sam Adams intentionally instigated (event)". For example the article states he organised the Boston Tea Party, whereas there is actually speculation as to whether he really wanted the event to happen and that he have tried preventing it. In light of this, i suggest a few minor edits to the article, or alternatively, a subheading could be placed at the end of the birography discussing these oppising interpretations. This is in the interest of balance and transparency. Lawson
