'"First"' Comptroller of the Treasury? edit

Latest comment: 14 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The article on Oliver Wolcott, Jr. states that Wolcott held this office in 1791, a decade before Duvall. Was "First" merely part of the title, when Duvall held the office? bd2412 T 13:55, 12 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Transcription error? edit

According to his biographer, Irving Dillard, in his last few years on the Court, Duvall was "so deaf as to be unable to participate in conversation." Prof. Currie retorts that: " There is no proof . . . that Duvall was either dead or unable to speak while on the Court . . . ."

The word “dead” was here when the quote was introduced by Savidan, but it is either mistranscribed or out of context. -Ahruman (talk) 09:44, 6 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned references in Gabriel Duvall edit

Latest comment: 2 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Gabriel Duvall's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 20:39, 14 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
