Democratic-Republican Party
editTwice, the article uses the name "Democratic-Republican" to refer to the Tyler Party. This doesn't seem like a common name for the party, and neither is that name mentioned in the Tyler Party's own article. There's a topic in its talk page referencing how the name is "completely fictitious". I'm wondering if all uses of the name "Democratic-Republican" in reference to the Tyler Party be changed to something among the lines of "Tyler Party" or "Tyler Democratic Party"?

- It's been awhile, but I vaguely remember seeing some academic sources using the term Democratic-Republican for Tyler's party; I personally think it's an unfortunate name since the name of Jefferson's Democratic-Republican Party already causes enough confusion. I believe the term's appearance on this page specifically originates from the John Tyler article (this article was split from that one) so I would respectfully suggest you try bringing up this topic of discussion there; it would certainly be a good thing to have consistent usage of the name across Wikipedia.
