Talk:United States Senate Committee on the District of Columbia

Lack of accuracy and citations
This page has no references to external lists. Also, several of the early chairmen are listed as "Republicans", from a time before the modern Republican Party existed. Those chairmen would probably have been (though there are no citations here) members of the group now known as the Democratic-Republican Party, whose members generally called themselves "Republicans", but which was defunct by the 1820's.

 * This wasn't really very hard to check out. The Senate's website has a list of all chairmen of all standing committees ever, and this list is obviously derived from that. john k (talk) 01:38, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
 * ETA - obviously also written by me, 8 years ago, it would appear. At any rate, it was obvious that "republican" meant "Democratic-Republican," and you could have changed the links yourself instead of adding a disputed tag when this article was perfectly factual, and could easily be checked against reliable sources.  Certainly I should have included the reference when I created the article, but a "disputed" tag should really only go up when somebody has reason to actually think the article is substantially factually incorrect, but doesn't know how to correct it. john k (talk) 01:40, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
