Also, after reviewing the common name page you sent, that is not in reference to the correct spelling of names - it is going with a person's commonly known stage-name. Ie. Norma Jean Mortenson versus Marilyn Monroe - it would be correct to go with her stage name. I agree with you and Wikipedia that much. I'm not insisting that we go by her first name of Rose. It's Adele versus Adèle. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.231.159.16 (talk) 16:46, November 18, 2015

Here are two more links from the University of Chicago. One is a signed letter, the other is a dinner invitation - both using Adèle. Maybe she didn't know her own name - which makes sense for someone who was upper class and received the absolute best education at the time. :-| Kind of funny to have any doubts about her name when the source is her own personal documents... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.231.159.16 (talk) 17:00, November 18, 2015

Proposed merge of Stephen A. Douglas ancestry into Stephen A. Douglas
Should just be part of a background or ancestry section, having the ancestry article is unnecessary. βӪᑸᙥӴ • Talk • Contribs 19:38, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Wholeheartedly agree, this ancestry article is way too short & irrelevant not to be part of "Stephen A. Douglas." TheConflux (talk) 21:06, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Support. It is concise enough that the entirety of that article would work as a section of the main article on Douglas. SecretName101 (talk) 22:02, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Strong support. It is simply a short bit of material with little room for future expansion and of the sort usually included in a main article. -A-M-B-1996- (talk) 17:23, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

Old University of Chicago land endowment

Position on Slavery
While that section now has citations, the sources need page numbers by them. 136.175.73.79 (talk) 02:19, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
