Is it really accurate to describe the southern US as "more Lutheran"? Wouldn't "more protestant" be more accurate? Grant65 (Talk) 12:58, Nov 1, 2004 (UTC)

I have tightened up certain parts of the article by dispensing with unneccessary words and sentences, together with, IMHO, improper use of language. Furthermore, I have tried my best to remove POVs within it.

[edit] update

I am in the process of a large update to this article, including extensive footnotes. However, I am starting to fall behind my intended schedule, so I have removed the inuse template from the top of the file. I hope to finish within a week, but others are welcome to jump in in the meantime. Hal Jespersen 21:51, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

My update is now complete, with two exceptions. At the very end of the article there are two sentences that require citations. I intend to remove those sentences in a couple of weeks if no one provides the citations. Hal Jespersen 23:25, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Family revert

I have reverted the recent edit about family. Please take care of the following before resubmitting:

1. Remove duplication. Some of this description is already covered earlier in the article.
2. Add footnotes for claims, speculation, and data. This is a fully footnoted article and additions need to follow the same degree of citation.
3. Explain or remove the parenthetical numbers next to the names.
4. Put dates into the Wikipedia format used throughout the article.

[edit] Revert Feb 21

I worked about 20 minutes trying to sort out the two paragraphs of updates some anonymous editor applied this morning and gave up and reverted it. If you would like to reapply any of these changes, please do the following:

1. Add footnotes in the style used by the rest of the article. Use the name= parameter of the <ref> to handle duplicate notes. Use actual, specific URLs for online articles. Add the Genealogy book to the References section and cite it just by author, as in all other notes.
2. Do not remove Wiki links from the text.
3. Do not remove footnotes from the text.
4. If you have something you disagree with (example, source of his nickname), do not simply delete a footnoted assertion. Adjust the text and footnote to indicate multiple sources differ.

Thanks. Hal Jespersen 20:26, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
