- Every tick gets ticked (copyvio, length, date, tone, number of tears shed), except some sourcing issues. The second paragraph in the 'Life' section has one reference at the beginning, and then nothing for the rest of the sentences. Similar issue with the claim that he was the 13th president. For the claim, I'm sure that'll take less than 2 seconds but I'd kind of like @Raymie: to pick one because #6, which I would have automatically copied, leads to a page that doesn't have the information available to hand. It's just a general splash page for lots of links. Could that also be changed? PanydThe muffin is not subtle 17:49, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
  • Source 6 is actually a book from the university (I've added a page number), and I've added an improved citation in those areas as well. The second paragraph is all cited to the one source from Oregon, but I've cited the final sentence to improve it. Raymie (tc) 18:55, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
