This article talks almost nothing about Shafter's military career. -- Toytoy 04:09, Aug 14, 2004 (UTC)
Shafter is a major historical figure, US Army major General and winner of the Medal of Honor. A 'Bacon number of 8' seems to trivialize his accomplishments, especially since a number of 8 is not notable.
Are we to list 'Bacon numbers' of all people who ever appeared in a film?
This information could appear in an article about Bacon numbers, but seems out of place here, IMO.

I decided to be bold and removed the list of movies constituting a 'Bacon Number' of 10. The list is now incorrect, and trivial in nature (IMO). I left a short explanation on why
If the info on the 'Rufus Shafter number' is important, I feel it should be put in it's own article, Rufus Shafter number, and not here.
I'm also going to add information on Shafter's army exploits during the Civil War, Indian Wars, and Spanish-American wars.
Feeback on this is welcome.
