Clifford's son edit

In the process of updating the List of Presidents of the Maine Senate and the Template of Senate Presidents, I found that a link on the template linked to this article, but the Senate President Clifford was the grandson of this Clifford. As such, I've created a disambiguation link so an article for Senate President Clifford can be created. 331dot (talk) 20:02, 6 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I just finished checking every citation to Fairman Vol. VI against a copy from my local library and found no evidence of copying or close paraphrase. I don't have ready access to Gillette's work, but given my findings regarding the other half of the sources mentioned here I'm removing {{copypaste}} tag for now. If anyone sees something I've overlooked, please restore the tag and let an admin know what you see. VernoWhitney (talk) 13:30, 2 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
