Talk:Alexander White (Virginia politician)

message: This label now seems to be pasted on to every American in history who ever owned a slave, however un-notable this aspect of his career.

Talk:Albertis Harrison

message: The article includes citations to obituaries run by the Washington Post and the New York Times, supporting his relationship to Benjamin Harrison V and the Harrison presidents. Yet an unsourced statement is made that this is false, and another previous unsourced statement that Harrison researched the issue himself and disproved the relationship. After more than a reasonable time, these statements have not been reliably and verifiably sourced, and both should be omitted per WP:WHYCITE. Hoppyh (talk) 01:40, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Samuel Griffin

message: Since libraries are closed for the holiday, I cannot consult the 1787 Virginia tax census volumes to determine whether Griffin owned any slaves in Virginia on that date. For whatever reason, he does not appear in ancestry.com's version of the 1810 census (only men of the same name in areas far from both Williamsburg and NYC), although he probably should have, since he died very late in the year. It's more odd that ancestry.com does not have any marriage record for him. FYI, last time I cited findagrave, the citation was removed shortly thereafter, so I did not include that here. Probably, bios both of him and his brother exist in one of Lyon Gardiner Tyler's volumes of Virginia biography published in 1915, but they are not chronological (and the last volume lacks an index), and even on the holiday I lack time to plow through the digital version. Also, despite persistent nags on my phone (which continues to get no-message calls from unidentified numbers as well as texts from partially or falsely identified real estate investors), I decided against signing into google to verify the pre-existing digital W&M journal cite.Jweaver28 (talk) 18:32, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Equations and calculations  

message: This article is quite basic. I think it should have more information. I made some minor changes and I also want to comment a few things.
1. If 1976 was the year the Ćuk converter was presented, it would be nice to add the date. The link at the bottom of the page seems to show this is the case.
2. The images with the states should be clearly stating the states. Either the states are part of the photo or they are not. As of now, the words are clipped. My preference would be to replace the fairly ugly figures 2 and 3, especially 3, with the equivalent versions of figures 2 and 3 that you can see in the SEPIC.
3. The "Single-ended primary-inductance converter (SEPIC)" section is practically useless. If it really needs to be there it can say some like "The SEPIC is aderivative of the Ćuk converter. The circuits are essentially the same but some components are placed in different locations and the output, unlike the Ćuk converter, has the same polarity of the input which makes the circuit more popular".
4. It would be nice to add a section on reliability and efficiency and disadvantages just like for the SEPIC.
5. In the "Refences" section DC-DC Converter Basics by G. Ledwich 1998 is not working.

Talk:George William Smith (politician)

message: Background: George’s first wife, Sarah Adams (1766-1806), is my fifth great-grand aunt. At this time, I have been researching my family for about a decade, so I am fairly confident of my research skills.
My research, based on resources on Ancestry.com, says that George’s second wife was named Lucy Franklin Read (1773-1845). Lucy had also previously been married and widowed; her first husband was Meriwether Jones (1766-1806). Lucy Jones, née Read, married George William Smith on 8 June 1808. Ancestry has two sources listed to support this: 
1) Virginia, U.S., Marriage Records, 1700-1850, page 561
2) Virginia, U.S., Compiled Marriages, 1740-1850
My questions are:
Is Ancestry.com, or are certain types of records on Ancestry.com, considered a good source? I would think so, at least the first citation given here, but would appreciate confirmation.
Corollary to that, does it matter that this source is only available on Ancestry.com to those with a paid U.S. membership? This appears to be an image from an actual book, so presumably there are other, offline ways to verify the source.
Is there a standard way to cite this type of source? Ancestry.com helpfully provides “citation information,” but I am uncertain how to format it appropriately for this venue. 2600:4041:157:7A00:6096:4137:CB56:4AF5 (talk) 05:05, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Talk:John Tyler Sr.

message: Is there any documentary evidence that this person was known by his contemporarites as "John Tyler III", or is this an after-the-fact convenience invented by genealogists for their own purposes? If it is the latter, it does not belong in this article. There doesn't appear to be consensus among genealogists that this is his proper title, anyway. I did a search in the Mormon online archives at familysearch.org and found multiple differing genealogies that could not agree on whether a certain Henry Tyler was this John Tyler's father, grandfather or great-grandfather. Even absent that, he should not be styled "John Tyler III" if he did not go by that name, especially since his grandson apparently did. Rklear (talk) 16:19, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  John Tyler III? 

message: On the left side in the general description it states he was born in York County, Virginia. On the right side in the box of personal details it says he was born in Charles City County, Virginia. It could be one or the other or neither. But it cannot be both.

Talk:William H. Cabell

message: LOC suggests William H(enry) Cabell—William H(enry) Cabell, head-and-shoulders portrait, left profile; as well as NGA. The fact is that William Cabell added middle "H." in April 1795 after marrying Col. William Cabell, Sr., daughter to distinguish himself from two other men named William Cabell in the same extended family. See Brown, A. The Cabells and their kin: a memorial volume of history, biography, and genealogy. Richmond, Va.: Garrett and Massie, 1939, p. 251.

Talk:Richard Bland Lee

message: Feel the trivia section of this article should be removed. There is no real added value to noting Lee's possible relationship to David Drier. Lee had many prominent descendants, and it is immaterial to the biography of Lee himself. This same information is contained in the article on Congressman Drier himself. I have copied the trivia section below in case it is decided this section is appropriate.
Lee served on the first Rules Committee empaneled by the House of Representatives. A later chairman of the committee (1999–2007), David Dreier of California, claims to be a distant relative of Lee.[7]

thread_title:  U.S. Senator from.... 

message: I suspect that both he and his brother were born in Fauquier county, despite various sources which in passing say he was born in Gloucester, Prince William or Fairfax counties. He or his father appear on the tax rolls in Fauquier, which is on a major route westward to the Appalachians from Williamsburg and Fauquier county. The Prince William and Fairfax sources mention the headwaters of the Bull Run watershed. The stream originates in Loudoun county near its border with Fairfax and Fauquier, and enters the Potomac River in Prince William county (even if the robocall scammer who just called seems from Roanoke and the previous robo-texter from New York city). For what it's worth, the father supposedly died in Pittsylvania County, i.e. around Roanoke, and on near the Wilderness Road southward toward the Cumberland gap and either westward to Tennnessee or eastward to the Carolina coast.Jweaver28 (talk) 21:55, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
