@SuperWIKI: Why are you convinced that he was born in Somers? He filed a sworn affidavit with the Senate that he was born in New York City. – Maliepa (talk) 13:25, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Maliepa: ? I don't follow. Have I been reverting some kind of edit on Brown on something? I've never been active on this page except to add his birth name from this link. SuperWIKI (talk) 13:28, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Update: I double-checked the edit history. None of my edits involved adding Somers as his birthplace. SuperWIKI (talk) 13:29, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@SuperWIKI: Your removal of "Position Abolished" today also removed my place of birth edit. – Maliepa (talk) 13:31, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Maliepa: It's possible there might have been some accidental oversight there. My Sticky Keys started acting up on my keyboard around the time I was saving my edits on the page. There might have been some revert thing going on there then. Whatever the case is, I didn't intend on changing or editing the birthplace at all, only the "Position abolished" bit. Apologies!

I've restored your earlier edit. Really unsure what caused that revert. SuperWIKI (talk) 13:38, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
