Talk:United States General Land Office

Untitled
Would anyone know anything about Clay Tallman, Comm of the GLO circa 1910? I have a large wall sized territorial map of the US dated 1910, with his name on it as Commissioner. My maternal grandfather was a Tallman from Boise, Idaho and I am trying to make a connection as he is the one that gave me the map.

General Land Office → United States General Land Office – Per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, WP:PRECISE, WP:NATURAL. The federal General Land Office was the agency that surveyed and then transferred title to formerly Native American lands in the American west while the Texas General Land Office continues to control most public land in Texas and manages a multi-billion dollar college fund. It's not so much that there isn't a primary topic as there are two for different contexts: if you open a history book and it refers to the GLO, it's going to be this agency that lasted until 1946. But if you're interested in contemporary politics, the Texas agency will be the primary topic: a Google search of "General Land Office" excluding Wikipedia pages had 8 out of 10 for the state agency and, obviously, 10 out of 10 for news articles. The proposed rename was the formal title and serves as a natural disambiguation. - RevelationDirect (talk) 15:21, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Note If this nomination passes, I'll speedy rename the corresponding categories. - RevelationDirect (talk) 15:21, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
