Talk:Robert Todd Lincoln Beckwith

Untitled
The sidebar says his occupation was attorney, but the article says he had no apparent occupation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.182.9.108 (talk) 23:03, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

And the Point Is?
"During a divorce battle, the court ordered her to have her son undergo a blood test." Very well... and we learned from this... what? The other shoe has to drop. Why was the blood test done? And What did we learn from it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gingermint (talk • contribs) 04:53, 8 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I had the same question. Tried to look at the referenced magazine article, but one must be a subscriber to Time magazine to see the entire article.  Guess that's the end of my research into the matter. --LarryJeff (talk) 20:56, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Typically that would have been as part of a paternity (or non-paternity) claim. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 23:18, 16 July 2012 (UTC)


 * I've filled in the rest of the story on that. 64.124.27.3 (talk) 21:24, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

Material removed
I've removed the material that said he had a law degree and the nonsensical claim that he served in the Coast Guard in World War II. Those statements were in the article from its inception, but the only provided source for them was, which is nothing more than personal notes of some user of genealogy.com. Obviously not WP:RS. Since that information is in direct and stark contradiction to the biographical info provided on him from other sources which are WP:RS (such as the 2008 book The Last Lincolns), I've removed it. 64.124.27.3 (talk) 21:27, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

Bias
There seemed to be bias in the article of the "unworthy scion of a noble house" type. I think this is unjustified and have removed it. It is hardly noteworthy that he didn't go to college, and gentleman farmers commonly employ people. Also most people smile when photographed, but in this context mentioning smiling makes him sound like a scofflaw. Robina Fox (talk) 05:04, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
