The images on this page are presumably all free, no? --Joe Quick 23:41, 10 November 2007 (CST)

Life, the Universe, and Everything

In the opening section, it was mentioned that "43 men have served as President of the United States since the ratification of the Constitution". However, this is wrong, because there have only been 42 people serving as POTUS, with Grover Cleveland being both #22 and #24. That's why I corrected the sentence accordingly. But this in turn adds too much information that don't belong there. It could be mentioned further down in the article, but the opening section is there to give a short, concise description and other vital information about the subject matter, not go into details about the numbering of presidents. The article about the Pope wouldn't mention numbering problems in the opening section, but rather in the History section. --Christian Liem 20:05, 15 November 2007 (CST)
