Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:HARRISON, Benjamin-President (BEP engraved portrait).jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on August 20, 2018. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2018-08-20. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. — Chris Woodrich ( talk) 03:34, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
Shouldn't it be mentioned that he was the first president whose voice was recorded? I could've sworn this was here a while ago. Xdude gamer ( talk) 19:50, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
Harrison was the earliest president whose voice is known to be preserved, as it currently stands in the article, is wrong: Grover Cleveland's voice has been preserved from 1892. Cleveland was both the 22nd and 24th president of the United States, and so, that record belongs to him. Renerpho ( talk) 13:19, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
Would the subject's name not have been, in full, Benjamin Harrison VI? Being that he is named for his great-grandfather, Benjamin Harrison V, and neither is noted to have had any middle names. 134340Goat ( talk) 01:37, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
Would it have appeared on his birth certificate- This isn't really relevant. In the 19th century at least, ordinals were often added to names not at birth, but when people reached adulthood (basically, when there was a need to disambiguate them; there were exceptions, but a lack of the ordinal in the birth certificate wouldn't mean much). The most obvious reason for this was the high child mortality. The question
did he ever sign his name with it?is the more interesting one. As far as I can tell, he did not. Renerpho ( talk) 02:30, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
