Untitled[edit]

John Lynch definately deserves better than a one-sentence article.--Jersey Devil 02:33, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain this deletion[edit]

To anonymous user-- 68.193.208.23 (Talk)

Today you removed the following from the biography of John R. Lynch. Please explain why you did so and the authoritative source for this deletion.

Lynch attended Kimball Union Academy in New Hampshire, but did not graduate. He was the first African-American Secretary of State in Mississippi.

This is the edit in question: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=John_R._Lynch&diff=56137100&oldid=54652703 31 May 2006 * (diff) (hist) . . John R. Lynch; 14:54 . . 68.193.208.23 (Talk)

This question also appears on the anonymous User Talk page. Thank you. Skywriter 15:27, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The addition of that information was an error on my part[edit]

There are two individuals with the same last name.

James D. Lynch was an African-American who attended Kimball Union Academy and was the first black secretary of state of Mississippi. John Roy Lynch is a separate individual.

I just wanted to correct this on John Roy Lynch page. Ladb2000

Good catch! Skywriter 00:49, 2 June 2006 (UTC) (The fix, I mean) Skywriter 00:49, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Confusing references to election of 1876[edit]

It's not clear what the editor intended. I know the Mississippi and SC elections of 1876 were surrounded by violence from Red Shirts, but it's unclear who contested the election and who prevented Lynch from taking the seat in Congress. Needs more facts, as the sentence is very ambiguous. There were a lot of power struggles going on. --Parkwells (talk) 19:12, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
