The Wiki article on James S. Sherman (U.S. Vice-President 1909-1912) states that both he and General William T. Sherman were descended from Roger Sherman - through which line, they don't say. 86.164.55.251 ( talk) 16:51, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
There was content added to the Family section that uses a link, https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Henry_L._Stimson&oldid=718930300 that points to an older article version, that in turn uses Find-a-Grave. While I am still a fan of Find A Grave --there are some issues-- in that the site is of the same form as Wikipedia, being anonymously edited, the information is not vetted, and thus there could be erroneous information. Just using it as proof a grave exists might be one thing but with no corroborating source of say a linage, there is still doubt about the information. An editor may have first hand knowledge that a certain grave is a particular grave mentioned in an article (or used as proof) but without some "other proof" that is still OR. Sites like Wikipedia can not be used as a source or reference, which means that pointing to an older version (like it is archieved) would fall under the same category. If information in an older---thus outdated--- version is relevant then it should be considered being revised then using an inline link per policy and guidelines.

Is there a source for this? I'm reading Madison's record of the Convention and I can't see where Sherman says this. Something this big should be sourced and have an inline citation. Richard75 ( talk) 22:32, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
I'm thinking that the quotation is lacking context and relevance. Perhaps it should be removed and better placed in Wikiquote. Toddst1 ( talk) 18:53, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
I have written an evaluation for this article. Here is the link to it if anyone is interested. /info/en/?search=User:Matthew.meyers5/Evaluate_an_Article Matthew.meyers5 ( talk) 04:01, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
Either Roger Sherman was born in Newton Massachusetts or he was born in Trenton New Jersey - he can not been born in both places, they are many miles apart. 2A02:C7E:1CA8:CE00:414B:4BE5:9A5C:EAF8 ( talk) 10:57, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
Were they from an English family? Do we know anything about the first ones to immigrate? Valetude ( talk) 13:50, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
