Danny, thanks for adding those tables. The format works great on my Opera browser, and I enjoy using the links the table provides. --Ed Poor
- Thanks, Ed. Eventually, I hope to get to adding some information to the articles too. Most of them are pretty scanty. Danny
- By providing the framework, you create an inviting and hospitable "home" for others to contribute their "homework" as well. Structure is essential. Ed Poor
hey
First Lady Helen Herron Taft was originally Helen Herron before marriage to William Howard Taft. Reason of edit: full maiden name appears in most presidential bios. --65.73.0.137
I stumbled on a piece (http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,12271,1239824,00.html) by Terry Jones which made me realise WHT has a slew of descendants (http://www.cr.nps.gov/nr/twhp/wwwlps/lessons/15taft/15facts5.htm) warranting their own articles; cf Disinfopedia on WHT4 (http://www.disinfopedia.org/wiki.phtml?title=William_Howard_Taft_IV). 142.177.24.97 16:16, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)
The links here (and in other articles) indicate that Bob Taft is Robert Taft II, but the Bob Taft page says he is Robert Taft III, and wouldn't Robert Taft II = Robert Taft Jr.? Maybe I'm wrong, but if I'm not then this is an error in not only this article but several others. :) Tim
- Well, since nobody commented in a couple days, I went ahead and made the change, and will try and change it wherever else I can find it, too. Tim 16:22, Jul 14, 2004 (UTC)
- Didn't see this until now. Sorry I didn't comment earlier. Robert Alphonso Taft I's son was just Robert Taft. He is generally referred to as "Robert Taft Jr." for the sake of convenience, but, really, he is not a "Jr.," because his name is not identical to his father's (he didn't have the middle name "Alphonso"). His son is Robert Alphonso Taft II, not III, because he was named after his grandfather. In this case, II does not equal Jr. So I changed this back wherever I found it.

- Thanks for the clarification. Looks like you found all the edits I made. Tim 15:18, Jul 27, 2004 (UTC)
Revert and capitalization...
I stumbled on the fact that the Cabinet box was whacked. I reverted back to the "12:39, 7 May 2005" version and then went back and manually added what had been changed. The one exception to this is that I did not capitalize "armed forces" which I think is a generic term and not a proper noun. If you know better than I on this, feel free to capitalize it.
