Listings and deletions

I don't know if it would solve any of the chronic problems of edit-warring here, but due to so much editing by anonymous IP's, I wonder about semi-protection for this article.

This is an excellent article in terms of general historical information imo. That said, laundry lists of genealogical material somewhat exceed the bounds of an encyclopedia, and some of the deleted material includes personal information about living persons, which I would hope is an obvious problem, and deletion is certainly supported by wp:BLP policy of long standing.

There are many issues that need to be discussed. It's hard to conceive of so much contention with NO use of the discussion page AT ALL. Has it been blanked at some point? One has to wonder? rags (talk) 16:37, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree the timelines don't even line up right heck they got there after John Randolph married Pocahontas she was passed by then. And there's so much information around that area of the families that are not correct at all and that goes along into the Civil War the Revolutionary War and the early history of our nation that whole area they have twisted and made them big mess of all the information where it's hard to find the truth I think I might have figured it out but I'm not ready to disclose yet but if I do it's going to change a lot of stuff it will literally rewrite almost all the history of our nation in all of the world [[Special:Contributions (talk) 04:03, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Edits may be needed to Pres. Thomas Jefferson's entry in ->Descendants

Very new to wikipedia editing, and i don't have time to check some of these things and fix them. But i noticed two issues with Pres. Thomas Jefferson's relations under "Descendants": first it implies Sally Hemmings was the owner of Monticello (Jefferson's plantation), second it incorrectly (as far as i know) calls his daughter Martha Jefferson Randolph, "Martha Washington Jefferson" RainbowSprnklz (talk) 15:19, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Scratch that bit about implying Sally Hemmings owns Monticello; I think that's just a flaw, but a consistent flaw, of this family tree format. RainbowSprnklz (talk) 14:04, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Everything I can find supports that President Thomas Jefferson's first daughter, Martha, never had 'Washington' in her name, nor any middle name. Her name at birth was "Martha Jefferson", as noted in Thomas Jefferson's prayer book where he lists the names, births (and some deaths) of him, his wife and their children.

They don't want people to know who the true royalty and heirs are to this land before the Federalists stoled it and enslaved all the people in it. Because Thomas was a relative/a descendant of the kingship so is Lincoln, Robert E Lee, Jefferson Davis, George Pickett. And they would have all been considered swarthy. 104.234.8.63 (talk) 04:25, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
