[edit] copyvio

Again, 66.81.31.xxx , you have uploaded copyrighted materials, this time from [1]. It is (c)1994 Corbis Media. Please stop it. --LMS

[edit] first lady

The full maiden name of First Lady McKinley was Ida Saxton, but the linked article has her as Ida Saxton McKinley, so my change was obvious. --65.73.0.137

[edit] If he had died just 3 days earlier...

Imagine, if McKinley died just 3 days earlier, what would the people and the media have thought, regarding the same day of our time? --Shultz 17:22, 1 December 2005 (UTC) hi

I don't think they would have cared as much... people tend to care more when someone is assassinated then when they just die... --The MasterPedia 19:49, 16 April 2006 (UTC)^Talk

[edit] McKinley redirect

Because "McKinley" links to the disambiguation page I cleared out the "The name "Mckinley" redirects here..." etc. part.

[edit] James "Big Ben" Parker

I think it's odd that there's no mention of this fellow in the assasination account, note that Parker is the African American fellow shown in the picture entitled "Leon Czolgosz shoots President McKinley with a concealed revolver" grabbing Czolgosz. Parker was considered something of a hero, and his actions prevented Czolgosz from firing a third and fatal shot.

[edit] Trivia, and Sensibility

What is meant by this sentence from the Trivia section?

McKinley was the last US Civil War veteran to be President-beginning with 
Andrew Johnson {excepting Grover Cleveland}.

Apart from the misshapen parenthesis and the broken punctuation, what is it supposed to mean? I would have corrected the cosmetics, but I don't understand the intent. - Corporal Tunnel 13:54, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

it doesn't mean much so I fixed it to say McK was the last veteran to be president. Rjensen 14:49, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
