Is there a source for Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit's cause of death at age 50? Google suggests mercury poisoning, but nothing better than that. 212.180.235.46 ( talk) 15:25, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
All I've found are the Ford F pickups, are there more? Sagittarian Milky Way ( talk) 21:30, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
"The Toyota Corolla (E210) is the twelfth generation of the Corolla", Chrysler New Yorker#1994–1997 (14th generation), and Oldsmobile 98#Twelfth_generation (1991–1996) show up with a quick search. There might be others. Honda Civic 11th generation is expected in a year or two. I guess of those, only the New Yorker is more than a dozen. 67.164.113.165 ( talk) 00:55, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
Are these "generation" tags assigned by the manufacturer or by outsiders ("fans", if you will)? Is a "generation" in a Ford model line actually comparable to a "generation" in a Chevrolet model line? Not to mention "generations" in vehicles from manufacturers in other countries. What makes for a distinction between 2 "generations"? Even in the same model line. -- Khajidha ( talk) 03:14, 23 May 2019 (UTC)
There were twenty Chief Judges of New York between 1870 and 1974, during which period the position was elected. Twelve of these twenty men were both Democratic and Republican, and two of the other eight were Republican and something else. I can understand one or two switching parties while in office, but not twelve; what does this indicate? Nyttend ( talk) 22:24, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
