Short titles of partial Acts
The Consumer Assistance to Recycle and Save Act of 2009 is contained within the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2009, as was recently noted by an editor to this page. Many statutes have multiple short titles contained within them. For example, all of these are in Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2009 (|TOM:/bss/d111query.html| See here).

So should we add a column to our chart denoting all of these? I think it might look good.—Markles 10:42, 24 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Where would the column be added? I think we could just add a new table with two columns under the notes section. Although, I would like to see what you have in mind, could you do an example here on the talk page? – Zntrip 17:24, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

I don't know. It's just that I'm wondering why one statute with a short title was added. What made it different from all the rest?—Markles 20:18, 24 July 2009 (UTC)


 * As the person who added it, I can say that I didn't know about the rest. However I now see that there are multiple acts within acts. Do you think we should even bother mentioning them (including the one I added), and if we do, what format should be used? – Zntrip 20:54, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

In that case, I suggest we don't clutter this article with any of them.—Markles 21:35, 24 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree, I'll remove the one that's already in the article. – Zntrip 22:34, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Bills renaming Post Offices
I'm doubting that the bills renaming post offices are note worthy enough to be included here. I think this should be confined to major legislation. Jon (talk) 18:43, 4 February 2010 (UTC)


 * The purpose of this article is to list all the laws passed by Congress. I think it would be kind of arbitrary to just exclude the post office renaming ones (as boring as they are). Additionally, how would you define major legislation: by length, impact on society, amount of public attention, or the amount of money involved? I think listing all the laws is the only subjective way to do it. Besides, if someone was looking for major legislation it is listed at 111th United States Congress and, on this article, most noteworthy bills have links to their own articles. – Zntrip 19:14, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Tribal Law and Order Act
Don't forget to add this one. I believe it was signed in late July. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.46.23.60 (talk) 19:23, 6 September 2010 (UTC)


 * It's already included as part of the the Indian Arts and Crafts Amendments Act of 2010. – Zntrip 19:51, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

"Roy Wilson" Disambiguation
This page was identified as including a disambiguation error based on the term "Roy Wilson".

In order to resolve this problem I have removed the wikilink from the term as I am unable to determine, from the context, what it is referring to. If you wish to restore the link please ensure that the term and the link are fully resolved so that no further disambiguation occurs. Perry Middlemiss (talk) 06:44, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
