Good article

Very nice article. Very thorough, especially in describing the key opoints of his more career defining involvements. Very well referenced and good use of inline references. Short, but informative. Great job to all the editors!--Esprit15d 18:19, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Must disagree. I think it's too long for the notability of the subject, and could usefully be shortened anyway on grounds of style. I just got reverted by Bencherlite for abbreviating the lede. He said it was in proportion to the overall length - well over 10%, in fact. And very odd that it doesn't mention that he was a cousin of Joe Johnston.

Eh?

Something tells me he was not born on the 36th of January. Am I correct? BobAmnertiopsis ∴_ChatMe! 05:38, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, read that wrong. Something tells me that his term as senator didn't begin on Jan. 36th. When was it? BobAmnertiopsis ∴_ChatMe! 02:05, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Warfield

Any relation to the Warfields from whom Wallis Warfield Simpson was descended? Valetude (talk) 10:30, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
