I know the photo looks better on the left, but it messed up the bulletting there, so I moved it to the right hand side. If we get more info here, we can move it back to the left. RickK 00:30, 18 Aug 2003 (UTC)
I met a great great nephew of Elihu Root working here at the Library of Congress. The young Root works in the House of Representatives.
There's some potentially useful bio info in the NRHP documentation now linked at the Elihu Root House article, if anyone cares to incorporate any of that into the Elihu Root article. I am working on the House article, and not the Elihu Root article, myself. doncram 23:31, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
I put the quote back in the article because the sourc eis reliable. The editor who removed it did not give a reason why he believes it is unreliable. Mpublius 13:15, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
deleted quote supported by unreliable source ( http://www.perfecteconomy.com/pz-art-mcfadden.html) - web site makes incoherent arguments about central banking
I removed the quotes section. This article is also very bad because it is a narrative of original research, and contains very few links to external sources. Mpublius 20:02, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

I just came upon a very intersting story involving my mother ( Helen Root) born in 1915 in GrandGorge NY. She stated just prior to her death in 1998 that the physician who delivered her suggested she be named Elihu after a very famous person. Her parents did name her this but when obtaining her birth certificate were told it was a male name. Her father (born 1886) came from Lithuania and his real last name was Racievicz. Upon arrival in the US it was changed to Root. Any chance of some connection with the last name of Mr. Elihu Root?The reason I am curious is that I cannot find any records of my grandfather's arrival to the US. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.251.109.94 ( talk) 02:09, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
According to an opinion piece in 'The Independent' newspaper
"[Root's] policies in the Philippines led to half a million deaths at the turn of the 20th century."
I came here hoping to find some background to this claim. 91.107.194.182 ( talk) 16:46, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
Having Fourier-Transform dated to before 1900 it suggests, computers were avialable at that time. Did he have any relation to computers? "root" is a user with all priviliges on most Linux-Systems. -- 2003:74:F26:7A9A:E009:F7F6:D415:8E1E ( talk) 23:51, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

"He also devised the principle of rotating officers from staff to line."
Oh he did, did he? Root did not devise this idea, which has commonly used before then in Napoleon's army and others. During Root's expansion and modernization of the Army, this standard process of rotating the staff and line became common. That was part of "modernization." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tributations ( talk • contribs) 00:56, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
