Detailed and interesting article. Aside from the quotes, there appears to be no copyvio. Article has been expanded recently enough and is properly referenced. GreatLakesShips (talk) 03:23, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this, but I'm having trouble finding the fact about him using the desk as Senator and Vice President, with inline cites. Footnotes 11 and 12 don't even mention the desk. Could you point out the sentences to me please?- It might also be cute to call it
the same $80 desk
in the hook, if that's how much it cost. Yoninah (talk) 22:27, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
- Hi @Yoninah:, the fact is in line in the 3rd to last paragraph where it says "Johnson had the Resolute desk, the desk Kennedy used in the office, removed and replaced with the desk that he had used throughout his time in the Senate and as Vice President." this is referenced with cite #15 [2]. im totally down to adding
the same $80 desk
in the hook. I've added in a new alt1A above.Found5dollar (talk) 22:39, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
