Someone changed the title of this article to John Randolph Tucker (Virginia politician) from John Randolph Tucker (1823-1897). They failed to take into account the fact that there were several generations of John Randolph Tuckers in 19th and 20th Century Virginia, all with the same name. The birth dates were for the purposes of disambiguation.

I am "discussing" this, rather than reverting it, because the instructions to Help:revert say to do this, rather than just revert. If no one has anything to say in support of the Virginia politician change here in a few days, I will revert the name back to the date identifier. JohnnE 19:57, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Name should be changed as there are at least two John Randolph Tuckers that were Virginia politicians. I'm changing the page name. 17:25, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
