Did you know... that Jesse James eliminated Warren G. Harding?

Notation that office got obsoleted

That info was a sentence tacked on as the final sentence of the lead graph, presumably by a colleague who knows nothing about the logic of paragraphing, nor about wiki hypertext. My edit (to wit, placing parenthese around that last sent of the 'graph) is far from bringing it into stylistic compliance; that's an improvement (it cues the reader to the fact that the sentence is not a full-fledged contribution to delivering on what the topic sent has declared as "what this 'graph has its order of business"), but better approaches would be any of these:

Use a footnote as the location of what the obsolescence content is intended to convey, or
avoid exposing, in the article, the editor's apparent inability to stay on topic, by placing a link on the mention of the treasurer role, pointing to Texas State Treasurer, or
(perhaps best of all) to Texas State Treasurer; this would further titilate the curiosity of users who aren't actually interested in the bio article they linked to, or, better still, lead them off to another tangentially related shiny object.

Sentence fragment in "Political Career" section

In the discussion of the 1982 misconduct charges, there's a weird sentence fragment:

"After initially entering an innocent plea,[10] The indictments came ..."

This was inserted as shown during user Muboshgu's expansion of the article (i.e., no text was removed during a subsequent edit). It would be nice to know what Harding actually did after entering his initial innocent plea.Kelseymh (talk) 06:20, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
