Invention
I doubt that Thomas Jefferson invents the svivel chair. An early depiction of a swivel chair originates from Löffelholz-codex dated 1505, ca 270 years earlier than Thomas Jefferson.Bullenwächter (talk) 19:42, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

 * A twitter thread by romance novelist, Rose Lerner, includes screenshots and outbound links to multiple further sources attesting to Jefferson not being the inventor of the swivel chair.
 * Perhaps both removal of this error and a paragraph on the ‘Jefferson invented the swivel chair’ myth would be in order. The former to improve the entry and the latter to provide defence against the improvement being undone. Bforte (talk) 07:30, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Came here as I was looking for background on the Loeffelholz chair, noted the contradiction/inaccuracy in the article, and I agree with the above. Not well-versed enough in swivel chair history to confidently amend myself, however! SliderQuick (talk) 00:05, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Leonardo Da Vinci made drawings of armored vehicles too, but we don't credit him as the inventor of the tank, do we? 165.1.177.193 (talk) 23:45, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
