message: What is the pronunciation of his name?  It appears to be French; is it "ghee-toe" or "gwee-toe"?  --LostLeviathan 00:10, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: *GI-toe. --67.71.56.97 02:00, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

text: *The standard French pronunciation is "gi-TOE"  In addition, I once called the Irvington Public Library in Irvington, NY which was founded in 1902 by Guiteau relative Frederick W. Guiteau, and they prounounce it this way locally.
To quote their webiste 
"The land was donated by the Mental and Moral Improvement Society on the condition that the Village always maintain a library or reading room in the building.  This space was designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany, an Irvington resident and renowned art glass designer and craftsman.  The library furnishings were donated by philanthropist Helen Gould of Lyndhurst, the daughter of railroad financier Jay Gould.  Frederick Guiteau provided funds for the initial collection of books." --Don 01:24, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Inaccurate statement

message: In Garfield's biography here at wikipedia is stated he wanted to attend a college reunion. however on this one: As President Garfield entered the station, looking forward to a vacation with his wife in Long Branch, New Jersey,  which one is correct?--Tresckow 22:19, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe "As President Garfield entered the station, looking forward to a vacation with his wife in Long Branch, New Jersey" is incorrect.  I remember reading that he was going to his son's graduation from Williams College in Massachusetts.Don 23:58, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Removed reference to Daniel Sickles in the "Trial and Death" section; the two cases have nothing to do with each other beyond both being early attempts to use an insanity defense.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.199.106.23 (talk) 15:34, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Popular Culture 

message: I cannot understand a sentence, and would like to ask for clarification. Also, others may have the same confusion, so perhaps it could be phrased more clearly in the article.
:"After some time trying to do remedial work in French and algebra at Ann Arbor High School, during which time he received numerous letters from his father haranguing him to do so, he quit and in June 1860[5] joined the utopian religious sect known as the Oneida Community, in Oneida, New York, with which Guiteau's father already had close affiliations."
Was Giteau's father haranguing him to do remedial work in French and algebra, or haranguing him to quit?    71.179.235.118 (talk) 15:39, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Good question. I had assumed his father wanted him to stay in school, but there's this: "...he took remedial classes while his father sent him Oneida Community literature." That makes it sound like his father wanted him to quit and go to Oneida. Kendall-K1 (talk) 16:02, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Long, Unclear Sentence 

message: I don't see what the first clause of this sentence has to do with the second: "Despite the "group marriage" aspects of that sect, he was generally rejected during his five years there,"
unless there's an assumption that a community practices promiscuous sex should, somehow, be more accepting of strange or troubled people, which should be a patiently false premise.
a woman may be quite promiscuous and still reject this or that man, after all.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:18A:8100:9BDA:EC78:92FA:CD01:F670 (talk) 17:23, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

message: Kent Kiehl doesn't belong in the lead. It's too trivial, and per WP:LEAD, the lead should summarize the article. I would move it but there isn't really an appropriate section to put it in. Kendall-K1 (talk) 15:10, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
