[edit] Benjamin Harrison

Opinions are needed on the Benjamin Harrison talk page. Two editors are in disagreement about whether or not the last section to the page is appropriate. One editor wants to included an image of the 1st Harrison stamp along with some history associated with it. An other editor feels the information is too tangential and does not belong on the Harrison page. Gwillhickers (talk) 20:57, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Religion

As all eight of his children were brought up as Catholics, it is not clear why Sherman was so displeased when his son Thomas was ordained a Jesuit priest. 86.144.199.247 (talk) 11:30, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

Speaking of such, there seems to be an inconsistency in the date of his son's ordination, was it in 1889 or 1879? The source on the son's page indicates that it was 1889, but the general's page indicates otherwise (it has a citation I can't actually check). Would someone kindly help? -- Ever Confused, StudentInsomniac 03:06, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
Tom Sherman joined the Jesuits in 1878 and was ordained a priest in 1889. I believe it's traditional for the Jesuits to wait ten years or more, before ordaining a member (who starts out as a "novice," then becomes an "scholastic," before becoming a priest). I'll fix the date in the article. - Eb.hoop (talk) 21:25, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Dead link fix

In the Modern assessment section, please change the reference URL for the quote (currently #102) from http://www.sagehistory.net/civilwar/docs/ShermanAtl.htm to http://www.academicamerican.com/expansioncw/civilwar/docs/ShermanAtl.htm and remove the {{dead link}} tag. This is the new URL for same organization. 107.10.43.91 (talk) 18:14, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Yes check.svg Done Thanks. --Jnorton7558 (talk) 21:04, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Sherman's children

The Shermans had eight children, not all mentioned.

You would normally expect a list of the children, with their dates and any relevant notes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.181.213.189 (talk) 13:20, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
