Bold textI don't think that the statement about the Kitchen Cabinet is correct or, at the very least, I think that it's very misleading.

Jackson has a formal cabinet, which he ignored for various reasons, preferring a collection of other people who formnsdfawmed the Kitchen Cabinet.

There is a good deal of vandalism and errors in the Titles of the various sections. "The historical period my butthole for instance."

What are you talking about? Do you know anything about Jackson's Kitchen Cabinet. The Statement is correct. He may have used his Kitchen Cabinet as often, if not more often, than his actual appointed cabinet.

Yes, and the people were mad because the people of the cabinet didn't have to be elected by congress.

People of the Kitchen Cabinet, I meant.

Is it just me or does everything about Jackson on wikipedia seem like it herofies him a bit? He was definitely a much more controversial and less heroic man than he is presented as.

I agree, Jackson wasn't such a great guy! And I don't know if it should really be said that he followed in Jefferson's footsteps. They actually had very different views on a lot of things.

[edit] Citations Needed

While the article does have a list of references, it does not cite these references anywhere in the text. To simply list a bunch of texts/websites without specifying which idea comes from which source is a form of plagiarism.--Yatta! 07:29, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Plagiarism is word-for-word copying. That is not at issue here. Rjensen 08:09, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

I encourage you to review the definition of plagarism. Simply put, whenever one uses another person's work in their writing (be it word-for-word copying, paraphrasing, or even just restating an idea that is not your own) they MUST give them credit by using an in-line citation. Not only is this important to ensure academic honesty, but also to avoid giving the impressions that the content of your article is independent research or unverifiable. This is one of the most misunderstood concepts in the Wikipedia community, and one of the main reasons why it is often not a credible source of information. For more information on why I have tagged the article with this template, see Template_talk:Citations_missing. Yatta! 06:27, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

In the world of print enyclopedias (including general ones like Britannica and World Book & the hundreds of specialized encyclopedias), the standard practice is to have a bibliography at the end of the article and NOT have footnotes for specific sentences. This practice is universally accepted in the reference world. Rjensen 07:40, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Many Wikipedia entries include citations. This article would greatly benefit from them. Also, the two works listed in Primary Sources are incorrect. They are secondary sources, albeit older ones. Primary sources are those documents from the period in question. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rhymston (talk • contribs) 02:01, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
