John McLean

I removed the link and the image of John McLean from this page, as the John McLean in the link was born in 1785, so it was impossible for him to found a newspaper that published The Federalist Papers in the 1780s. Niceguyedc ^{Go Huskies!} 08:57, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:The Independent Journal/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

I believe the portrait displayed in the article is not of Independent Journal publisher John McLean, but rather of the jurist of the same name (1785-1861). The Wikipedia article about the jurist features the identical portrait.

I would suggest removing the portrait from the article in which it doesn't belong.

Thanks.
