Talk:John J. Crittenden

Needs succession boxes for Senate?
The article mentions that he was a member of the U.S. Senate over the course of several years, yet there is no succession box for this. There is for Attorney General and Gov. of Kentucky. Not sure why. Too involved?--FeanorStar7 14:17, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

Senate age requirement?
The article says, "In 1814, Governor Shelby appointed Crittenden to fill the U.S. Senate seat vacated by his former teacher, George M. Bibb; later, however, Shelby learned that Crittenden was only twenty-seven years old, three years shy of the constitutional age requirement for senators.[18] Hence he returned to his seat in the Kentucky House, where was elected speaker over John Rowan.[19]" However, when Crittenden actually joined the Senate, he was still only 29. How was this allowed? (Or did I miss an explanation elsewhere?) Ardric47 (talk) 00:17, 17 October 2013 (UTC)


 * 9 years on, but if you're still wondering:
 * United States Senate#Qualifications
 * "...During its early years, however, the Senate did not closely scrutinize the qualifications of its members. As a result, four senators who failed to meet the age requirement were nevertheless admitted..." (1 of which crittendon)


 * it is ironic -- clay could have just left him in place the first time! 2601:19C:527F:A660:19D4:23AE:956C:F5C1 (talk) 07:06, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

Issue
Rather unusual not to name all his children, with their dates. Valetude (talk) 21:56, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

Slave tallies
Crittenden owned ten enslaved people, all mulattos (females aged 60, 25, 21, 18 and 16 and males aged 28, 16, 14, 10 and 1).
 * How is this notable? These tallies are being increasingly featured in wiki pages, sounding like a rap-sheet. Clearly they are being inserted by editors with an agenda, and should be discouraged. Valetude (talk) 05:19, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Tend to agree. These tallies are based on WP:PRIMARY sources, and commenting on them in this level of detail without them being mentioned in WP:SECONDARY sources seems to violate WP:UNDUE. Acknowledging Crittenden as a slaveholder is likely warranted - going into this level of detail is not. If you are seeing a pattern of this across multiple pages from one or a small group of editors, an WP:RFC may be warranted to establish a broader consensus, rather than tackling the issue on individual talk pages.
