 * Article Evaluation: This article works with a lot of good things on Wikipedia including the WikiProject Cryptography. this article is meant to improve the coverage of cryptography on Wikipedia. This article though does not have enough sources to validate itself on Wikipedia it also does not reflect the encyclopedic tone that Wikipedia presents as necessary for its articles. if it only had those verified citations and also a possible title change as it did not really cover anything on Jefferson. Actually the article stated that Jefferson was not famous for creating the cipher as his did not take off and that he was just merely the first inventor of it. definite needs a title revision because putting his name in the title and then saying that his didn't become popular is misleading to the reader.
