Treason and the U.S. Constitituion

Aaron Burr was also featured as one of the main characters in the 1995 book, Kentucky Home by Betty Layman Receveur. Harroso2545 (talk) 00:33, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure such trivia would be appropriate to mention on the main page for him. Perhaps we could still use this piece of information elsewhere? Feinoha ^Talk 00:40, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 30 December 2016

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Aaron Burr. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Please remove "This brigade included Alexander Hamilton, who was one of its officers." because the reference, Chisholm 1911, p. 861, does not support it. Alternately, include an additional source that actually supports the statement. Mh 13:58, 30 December 2016 (UTC) --Mh 16:21, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
