Thanks for making those recent corrections to the [[List of the oldest United States Senators|oldest senators list]], I don't know how I missed them. About [[James F. Byrnes]], his birth year appears to be disputed and I was wondering your take on it. Many sources, including the congressional bio guide, list 1882, while many other sources including find a grave list 1879. Find a grave also has a photo of his gravestone which backs up the 1879 year. I'm wondering what you think about that, and in the meantime I will soon add a note to indicate the dispute on the 100 oldest list. |

One other question I have is with [[William Scott Vare]]. I'm wondering about what you think the criteria should be with inclusion in the congress birth/deaths lists as far as actually being seated/taking office. On the [[List of members of the United States House of Representatives who were born or died in 1982|1982 representatives list]], I did not include [[Jack Swigert]] in the total or list itself as he died before taking his seat despite winning the election. I did, however mention him in the intro as it was relevant. So back to Vare, he was elected but appears that he was never officially seated, yet you included him in the total and list. I'm just wondering your take on the inclusion criteria for those 2 and potentially others, such as [[Charles Gayarré]]. Thanks.

Your recently created article List of historical longest-serving members of the United States Congress has a very heavy overlap with the long-established List of members of the United States Congress by longevity of service article. Honestly, any unique content in your article should probably be merged into the other article and your article turned into a redirect. Otherwise, you need to clarify what is unique about your article's focus.--Danaman5 (talk) 08:55, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited Earliest serving United States Representative, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page George William Palmer (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

List of members of the United States Congress by year of birth and death
Hi, I just noticed you added List of United States Senators who were born or died in the 1970s. Great work, but I had been currently working on the same list. In addition, I am working on the Representative lists for the 1970s and just want to advise you in case you are as well so we are not both wasting our time by working on the same thing. Thanks.

Oldest senators/question
Thanks for making those recent corrections to the oldest senators list, I don't know how I missed them. About James F. Byrnes, his birth year appears to be disputed and I was wondering your take on it. Many sources, including the congressional bio guide, list 1882, while many other sources including find a grave list 1879. Find a grave also has a photo of his gravestone which backs up the 1879 year. I'm wondering what you think about that, and in the meantime I will soon add a note to indicate the dispute on the 100 oldest list.
One other question I have is with William Scott Vare. I'm wondering about what you think the criteria should be with inclusion in the congress birth/deaths lists as far as actually being seated/taking office. On the 1982 representatives list, I did not include Jack Swigert in the total or list itself as he died before taking his seat despite winning the election. I did, however mention him in the intro as it was relevant. So back to Vare, he was elected but appears that he was never officially seated, yet you included him in the total and list. I'm just wondering your take on the inclusion criteria for those 2 and potentially others, such as Charles Gayarré. Thanks. RoadView (talk) 01:42, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
