Wrong Scripture

The text says that the Bible was flipped to Deuteronomy 28, when the source says Genesis 49:13. I'm going to change it.Codster925(talk)23:42, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

To anyone concerned: It is proposed thatthis articleand theSecond inauguration of George Washingtonarticles be merged intoPresidency of George Washington.The two articles to be merged are very short,one of them a stub,while their subjects are already well covered in theGeorge Washingtonand thePresidency of George Washingtonarticles. The two articles in questionmeet all requirements for merging.There has been no significant additions made to these articles for well over a year. If interested please see the discussion on the Presidency of George WashingtonTalk page,making any related comments on that Talk page. --Gwillhickers(talk)20:53, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Opposethe merger: there are specific pages describing the inaugurations of every other US president. Also, this page contains relevant historical data on the inauguration of the first president and on the events preceeding the inauguration and related to the beginning of the operations of the new US government under the Constitution.Antonio Basto(talk)16:43, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Antonio Basto:This waswas already discussedand the discussion was closed. There was a wide consensus to merge this article with thePresidency of George Washingtonarticle. There is also the mainGeorge Washingtonarticle and the1788–89 United States presidential electionarticle where the inauguration is well covered. We simply do not need four articles to cover the inauguration. If there are items that are not covered in the other articles it's best simply to include them. This article metall the criteria for merging,given the other three articles, etc. Also, not all presidents articles have inauguration articles, and almost all of them that do are stubs, neglected by editors and rarely viewed.Other stuff existswas already addressed in the discussion to merge and is not much of a reason to have yet another article on the inauguration. If there were items missing in the main GW presidency article you simply should have moved/added them there. We should revert back, as you are going against a clear consensus. You really should have looked into this matter further and discussed this before reverting back. If need be we can call everyone back (@Rjensen,Orser67,Drdpw,Shearonink,The Man in Question,andTheVirginiaHistorian:) and have the same discussion all over again. --Gwillhickers(talk)20:30, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Antonio Bastoet al - So far as I can tell (and perWP:MR), this discussion should have taken place (perW:MR) 1)At the closer's talk page and, then, 2)if the discussion fails there then the issue should have been posted/continued further atWikipedia:Move review- however, I do think the previous merge proposal & subsequent move was not incorrect.Shearonink(talk)21:44, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
