[edit]

I apologize for any grammer errors, etc. I put this together in ~30 minutes. Grsz11 21:59, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, it looks fine. I didn't see it when up for DYK, but rather came across it when building Petersen House disambiguation page. I substituted a NRHP infobox in place of the Protected Areas one, though, as this is not a seascape, landscape, or other natural, environmental area, and it is in fact listed on the U.S. NRHP (as part of the National Historic Site). doncram (talk) 09:33, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Assassination

[edit]

Grsz11, I've left your edit alone concerning this [1] matter. But please understand the date of an assassination [2] and date of death do not always coincide. Garfield was assassinated on July 2, 1881, but died September 19, 1881. Likewise McKinley was assassinated on September 6, 1901, but died September 14, 1901. Best.

Well, it depends on how you define it, and I'm no expert. Merriam doesn't help out much here. We don't say Reagan was assassinated, but with the wording like that, you would expect that. Grsz11 03:55, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Please note once again that I left your edit alone. One needn't be an expert to understand the simple distinction though. Lincoln was assassinated on April 14, 1865, but died on April 15, 1865. I thought the dates regarding Garfield and McKinley made it even easier to understand. Reagan and several other U.S. Presidents had assassination attempts made upon their lives, but were not assassinated. Capish? Dr. Dan (talk) 04:07, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
