Talk:Abraham Jonas (politician)

Categorization
WP:Categorization of people instructs us to "Categorize by those characteristics that make the person notable" - While Jonas was a Freemason, his membership in the fraternity is secondary (or even trivial) to what made him notable. The category should be removed. Blueboar (talk) 15:43, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
 * "He then organized the Grand Masonic Lodge of Illinois in 1840 and was elected Grand Master" Seems more than trivial.  JASpencer (talk) 21:59, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Actually... no... the article is confusing local lodges with Grand Lodges. Not quite the same. He was respected by Masons as an orator (and was appointed "Grand Orator"... but that fits with his notablility as an orator, not as a mason. Blueboar (talk) 17:44, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
