Talk:United States Solicitor General
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Table improvement
The table in the article, although containing all the necessary information, is not uniform: in its first half there are only the presidents' last names, while later on there are their full names. This situation not only doesn't produce a nice image but I do not like the practice of writing only last names. So I've changed it. Hope it's for the better. --Bill the Greek 07:34, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Females
I cut:
- There has never been a female Solicitor General, so it is unclear what sort of dress a woman holding the office would wear before the court.
While it's true that there's not yet been a female SG, It's my understanding that a deputy SG, when arguing before the Supremes, also wears the distinctive costome. Surely by now there's been a female deputy to argue. I wish I had time to check... Ellsworth 19:49, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
- Also, speculation is best left on this discussion page, not on the article page.—Markles 20:28, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
- If there's never been a female Solicitor General, all of the PC talk about "he or she" is really unneccessary. Mysticfeline 22:48, 6 May 2006 (UTC)mysticfeline
- "He or she" is only used twice in the article - hardly enough to be "clunky" or to interrupt the flow of the reading. Yes, it's unnecessary PC, but as it doesn't significantly detract from the article, it's best left alone. --Tim4christ17 23:17, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

- still a stylistic issue, but if one were to cure all the style issues in wikipedia, there would be little time left for anything else BonniePrinceCharlie 10:50, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
