Talk:John Eaton (politician)

Untitled
Was hoping to find John Eaton (1829-1906), Civil War chaplain, brevet Brigadier General for a colored regiment, and commissioner of freedmen. He was also, I think the first, Commissioner of Education for the United States, and later president of Marietta College, and briefly the editor of the Memphis Post. 4.248.254.180 11:15, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

John Eaton (politician) → John H. Eaton – "John H. Eaton" is currently a redirect. It's easier to type, and it's already how he is referred to in many articles. Display name 99 (talk) 13:12, 7 July 2017 (UTC) --Relisting. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 12:36, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose, not much in it, but marginally more known in print as John Eaton. In ictu oculi (talk) 21:13, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment – If it were to be moved, is the name John Henry Eaton not used more frequently than John H. Eaton? 142.160.131.202 (talk) 06:19, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
 * It might be about equal. But one is shorter and quicker to type. Display name 99 (talk) 18:09, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Why would one being "shorter and quicker to type" be relevant? WP:CONCISE provides that brevity can be relevant but, "Exceptions exist for biographical articles. For example, neither a given name nor a family name is usually omitted or abbreviated for conciseness." That argument is in flagrant violation of this policy. 142.160.131.202 (talk) 02:37, 19 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Oppose per and my comment above. 142.160.131.202 (talk) 02:34, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Hello. I noticed an am appreciative of your recent additions to this article. I do notice, however, that they are unsourced. This is never good. I'm also thinking of nominating this as a GAN at some point, so obviously any unsourced material would be a major problem. Would you please add sources for the information you have recently added? Thank you. Display name 99 (talk) 01:31, 20 July 2017 (UTC)


 * That's the plan. Watch this space, and you should start to see additional bio details and references.  Please let me know if you have any questions once they're posted, or if you have ideas for additional additions, deletions, or corrections.  I'll do my best not to step on any work that's already been done, or that you or anyone else is doing.


 * Thanks,
