Semi-protected edit request for Abraham Lincoln[edit]
In the "assassination" section on the Abraham Lincoln page, the words “According to eyewitnesses, he face was fixed in a smile when he expired” should be changed to “According to some accounts, at his last drawn breath, on the morning after the assassination, he smiled broadly and then expired”. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.2.20.190 (talk) 09:35, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

Lincoln is often associated with his top hat, especially with younger audiences. Should it mentioned in the article somewhere? AquilaFasciata (talk) 17:37, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
