False link[edit]

James Varnum (236) links-thru to someone of the same name from an earlier century. Valetude (talk) 22:34, 18 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've put in the correct link, to James M. Varnum (born 1848).--Pharos (talk) 03:22, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Better disambiguation[edit]

Since the term and concept existed both before and after 1892 (which was only the year of publication of a particular newspaper article), I would suggest that a different means of disambiguation is called for.

One of the folowing might work:

The Four Hundred (New York society)
The Four Hundred (New York City)
The Four Hundred (socialites)
The Four Hundred (high society)
The Four Hundred (Gilded Age)
The Four Hundred (Astor Ballroom)

Wrong link[edit]

Isaac Iselin (116) links to someone of the same name who died a century before this.

My guess is that he is a cousin of Columbus Iselin (114) [1] or his uncle [2] Tatasz (talk) 02:39, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
