References

I appreciate two books about Mayor Harrison are quoted here, but this doesn't quite fit the reference format. Important facts in the article should have specific citations attached to them. See WP:CITE or WP:REF for more information. Thanks. NickBurns 21:54, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

– Wrong name suffixes: These are two mayors of Chicago, a father (born 1825) and son (born 1865) both named Carter Henry Harrison. Somehow, Wikipedia articles have used the suffixes "Sr." and "Jr." for these two men, but later editors have noted them as "III" and "IV", and external sources seem to always refer to them as "III" and "IV". The Wikipedia articles seem to have no explanation of why "Sr." and "Jr." are used on Wikipedia. In 2017, another user noted one misnaming at Talk:Carter Harrison Jr.#Not a Junior. It appears that these two articles, and their attendant Commons categories, should be renamed; this seems uncontroversial, but I'm nominating for discussion out of an abundance of caution, in case I'm missing something, because I almost can't believe that these article titles have remained wrong for 20+ years.
