Agreed. I created Charles Curtis (musician) and hence {{move|Charles Curtis (politician)}} Sciolistparty 21:39, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Why can't the cellist Charles Curtis be listed? Hyacinth 04:25, 23 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Move

  • Oppose. I added a link at the top of the article that poins to the musician. This article should stay at its current title. If several meanings of this name exist, feel free to create a dis-ambiguation page titled Charles Curtis (disambiguation), but please leave this article at its current title.

[edit] Mustache

"As of 2007, Curtis was the last U.S. Vice President or President to wear a beard or mustache—in his case, a mustache—while in office."

The inclusion of this bizarrely wonderful fact is the kind of thing that makes Wikipedia so great. 23:14, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Brent" ?

Hi. I found several sources on internet saying his middle name was "Brent" (Charles Brent Curtis). Is it it true? Is it false? Švitrigaila (talk) 16:11, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

You seem to be on to something. You could just add it and see whether anyone objects; if nobody does, then there's no need to hunt for a reliable source. If someone objects, then you'll have to do a bit of research. -- Zsero (talk) 18:28, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Neither The Political Graveyard nor his Congressional Biography speak about this middle name, but several web sites give that name. It's not new since I knew this name far before I met Wikipedia many years ago. But I still wonder what the source is. Švitrigaila (talk) 12:31, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

His gravestone doesn't have it either. So I wonder where it comes from? -- Zsero (talk) 04:05, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
