Comment[edit]

The article incorrectly states that one Vice President is buried here when in reality there are (at least) two: George Clinton and John C Calhoon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.141.143.92 (talk) 20:16, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Congressional Cemetery is not in Anacostia but rather in the southeast part of Capitol Hill sometimes called Hill East.


J. Edgar Hoover, John Philip Sousa, and many other notables are buried here... Yet none are mentioned by name in the article proper except for Leonard Matlovich?

Problems with the Article[edit]

I tagged this article with the weasel words and missing citations tags. Parts of it read like an advertisement for the cemetery, instead of an encyclopedia article. Please don't mess with or revert my tags... leave me a message here first so we can discuss it and figure out the best way to proceed. --198.151.13.10 (talk) 17:00, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and fixed the weasle words, but the citation issue is still a problem. Dont tell folks not to "mess with or revert your tags". This article does not belong to you. It is a community project. Qb | your 2 cents 11:35, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Where does this paragraph belong[edit]

Probably somewhere in the article - but I can't figure out where. Saving it here for now.

" In the early 2000s, after a series of mysterious phone calls to the cemetery, it was discovered that in the 1970s someone had broken into the Wirt Tomb at the cemetery and had stolen William Wirt's skull. After the skull was recovered from the house of a historical memorabilia collector, it spent time in D.C. Council member Jim Graham's office while he tried to get it returned to its rightful crypt. Finally in 2005 investigators from the Smithsonian Institution were able to determine the skull, which had gold block letters saying "Hon. Wm. Wirt" painted on it, was indeed his and had it returned.[1]"

QRpedia[edit]

QRpedia QR codes, lining to Wikipedia articles, are now in use at the cemetery. See pictures on commons. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:12, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Parking this picture[edit]

Meigs marker AT Arlington National Cemetery

I'll likely use this in a related article. Apparently the only other use of a Latrobe Cenotaph outside of Congressional Cemetery. Smallbones(smalltalk) 04:47, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This article deserved higher than a stub class rating. It has content, it just needs more references and to be cleaned up. --198.151.13.8 (talk) 19:36, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
