Need for hatnote

Latest comment: 14 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

There is a great need for the hatnote, and I don't think it should be removed. First, there are multiple people named "Tayloe": Col. John Tayloe, Col. John Tayloe II, Col. John Tayloe III, Benjamin Tayloe, etc. Each built a home notable for its architecture and history: The Octagon, Mount Airy, the Benjamin Ogle Tayloe House. Not all references (on WP or in published sources) make a distinction about which "Tayloe House" they are talking about. I conclude it's critical to retain the hatnote, because students and casual readers may not be clear about which Tayloe they are interested in (especially the many Col. John Tayloes) and which house in the D.C. area is which. It certainly confused me while researching this article, and I knew what I was looking for. - Tim1965 (talk) 13:46, 28 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
