Naming discrepancies

Dr. William Gibbs McAdoo was his father, but the younger McAdoo did not go by Junior. Some sources give William Gibbs McAdoo I, II, and III. However, his gravestone at Arlington gives the subject of this article as simply William Gibbs McAdoo, and his son is listed as William Gibbs McAdoo, Jr. Jokestress 02:40, 21 April 2007 (UTC) fuck[reply]

Francis Pemberton was called the son of John Pemberton (inventor of Coke) instead of John C. Pemberton (Confederate General). I changed it based on the "General" reference but don't know for sure who the author was refering to...the "general" or the "person".

Closing of the New York Stock Exchange

Just as people err in saying "I could care less" when they mean "I couldn't care less," the language "cannot be underemphasized" is incorrectly applied to an important action. I have corrected it to "cannot be overemphasized," i.e. "No amount of emphasis, however great, would be too much." Altgeld (talk) 23:39, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

divorce from Eleanor Randolph Wilson

I find "McAdoo's second marriage ended in divorce in July 1935," but I am seeing 1934 for that divorce in Eleanor Randolph Wilson's wikipedia entry. Please reconcile. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.47 (talk) 14:51, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

United Artists

William Gibbs McAdoo wasn't just general counsel for the founders of United Artists; he chiseled his way into being part owner of United Artists.184.76.56.97 (talk) 07:50, 6 June 2015 (UTC)JSJR 06062015[reply]
