Stub edit
I have created a stub on American urologist John Lattimer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Capitalistroadster (talk • contribs)
NPOV edit
He included an interesting chapter at the end of the book in which he pointed out an amazing number of coincidences in the lives and deaths of both Presidents. This is not really appopriate for an encyclopedia. I don't have time to edit this appropriately, but consider that interest is inherently a matter or personal taste, and a descriptor of 'amazing' is as well, this sentence (at least) needs to be reworked.

- It has been. I have revised it so that it simply refers to the book. Capitalistroadster 01:01, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
Merge/redirect edit
I combined two articles, one formerly at John Kingsley Lattimer. There may be some redundancy. Jokestress 01:24, 15 May 2007 (UTC) Wonderful job, Jokestress. Capitalistroadster 01:39, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
The penis edit
Wasn't this the man reputed to have purchased napoleon's penis at an auction? While the authenticity of such an item is clearly up for debate, he is indeed referred to as such in many articles. Should it perhaps be added to this one? It should ofcourse be given to reasonable doubt but if the scams of famous con artists such as frank abagnale make it into the encyclopedia, one could argue that this should too. Thoughts?
