Comments[edit]

I changed Ed Madigan's start date from March 12th to March 8th. According to a New York Times article, he was sworn in privately on the 8th before his public swearing-in ceremony on the 12th. Tooptoo 16:45, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There are two James Wilsons: The one listed on this page, who has no biography, and another who was one of the creators of the Constitution and one of the first Supreme Court Justices, who does have a biography. Neither has a middle name. How can we differentiate between them, as far as links are concerned? Katagelophobia

oh, c'mon! no mention of controversial actions by the guys who held this office? Not very encyclopedic... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrishibbard7 (talk • contribs) 20:20, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in United States Secretary of Agriculture[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of United States Secretary of Agriculture's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "UnitedStatesCode|5|5312":

From United States Secretary of State: 5 U.S.C. § 5312.
From United States Secretary of Defense: 5 U.S.C. § 5312

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 12:48, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Earl Butz[edit]

Earl Butz served as secretary under both Nixon and Ford. I don't know how to edit the table, but the table is currently incorrect in that regard. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1702:2920:1CC0:B5D5:1D11:B755:CAF7 (talk) 20:48, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
