• If Gore lost the election in 1789 how could he ultimately resign under pressure?
  • Because (next sentence) he was again elected in a special election. Magic♪piano 16:29, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

• What's the difference between an overseer and fellow at Harvard?
  • If the relevant WP articles are to be believed, the overseers are sort of like a board of "outside" directors, while the fellows may have (or had then) more involvement in day-to-day matters. I'll add some links. Magic♪piano 16:35, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

• What's that "(class 1)" in the US Senator navbox?
  • It's automatically added by {{U.S. Senator box}}; it refers to which of the three groups of Senators the seat is in for determining when it's up for election. This is also explained in List of United States Senators from Massachusetts, which that navbox links to. Magic♪piano 17:12, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
    • Seems a pretty unimportant distinction, but whatever.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:13, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
• Was Gore successful with his Mass. war debts?--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 02:16, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
  • Answered in the next paragraph (unless I've got the location of your query wrong): "exchanged Continental and state paper" Magic♪piano 17:12, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
    • No, you understood it correctly. Nobody'd ever believe that I've tried to give this a close reading with me missing information already in the article, would they? Ah, well, some days you get the bear, some days the bear gets you.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:13, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
