Talk:List of speakers of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives

Joseph Growdon or Joseph Growden?

Perhaps the Speaker for 1690 and other dates was Joseph Growden rather than Joseph Growdon? See Growden Mansion for mention of Joseph Growden. --DThomsen8 (talk) 01:08, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Major vandalism?

1. https://web.archive.org/web/20090327104237/https://www.dgs.state.pa.us/pamanual/lib/pamanual/vol_117/sec3_past.pdf (page 14/28) which is a list of Speakers of the Provincial Assembly from a reliable source.

2. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_speakers_of_the_Pennsylvania_House_of_Representatives&oldid=1051641524 (the version of this page as of 18:34, 24 October 2021), which appears to show the Speakers of the Provincial Assembly as in (1).

3. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_speakers_of_the_Pennsylvania_House_of_Representatives&diff=1055251157&oldid=1051641524 which shows a large number of unsourced changes to dates. For example, Isaac Norris (statesman) died in 1766 but is now shown as having been Speaker in 1776.

I suggest that the dates should be restored to how they stood in (2). Comments? Alekksandr (talk) 20:42, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
