Talk:Assassination of James A. Garfield

message: I know the article looks a little sloppy right now with the statue picture crammed in there, but I am going through the Peskin book and will be getting Vowell's in an effort to expand the article, and I'll rearrange things when I'm done. Vidor (talk) 05:31, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Was Garfield going to New Jersey or Williams College?  The first paragraph of the section on the assassination states the former, then the latter in the next paragraph.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.212.81.20 (talk) 19:21, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I question this claim.  The article says, "Navy engineers rigged up the world's first air conditioner," but I believe that the ancient Romans had already done something similar by running water from the aqueducts through the walls of the house.  I can't find many references to this now, but I recall learning about it from a History Channel documentary.  (one reference I found: --Colinb (talk) 16:33, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

message: The National Gallery of Art is composed of two buildings (east and west).  Which building is on te site where Garfield was assassinated? --Coingeek (talk) 14:52, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The original (west) NGA building is on the site of Garfield's assassination.  The building is now specified in this and the James A. Garfield articles. —ADavidB 18:34, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Which One? 

message: Someone asked me on my talk page why I removed information from the "aftermath" section of this article that was properly cited.  The reason is that while that information was properly cited, it was irrelevant.  How some Russian anarchist group felt about the murder or whether or not a bell was rung in London has nothing to do with the Garfield, Guiteau, or anyone else even tangentially connected with the crime.

thread_title:  Edits! 

message: On the drawing of the crowd of mourners in the section "Aftermath", i think the man stated to be James G. Blaine may in fact be Rutherford B. Hayes. Also, i think the man between Arthur and Grant is Chief Justice Morrison Waite. I think it should say so in the caption.--Solomonfromfinland (talk) 11:29, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Hope this doesn't sound ghoulish, but... given all of the physical changes on that site, the demolition of one building and the construction of another, how close can we come to identifying the exact location of the shooting? I ask only because the site of President McKinley's shooting is marked (how accurately I don't know) with a small monument in the residential neighborhood that grew on the site of the Temple of Music.

message: The newspaper illustrations in this article would be a lot more valuable if they were adjusted for contrast. As it stands they're just smudges. 73.71.251.64 (talk) 23:50, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
