Hi all,

I have significantly shortened and edited the lead for this article and moved most of the information that was in the lead to a new "History" section, which seems to more appropriate fit the information presented. Happy to answer any questions. Tmhassett (talk) 05:15, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid that you have changed one issue with another. If you feel there is anything in the lead that is extraneous, fine, probably best to reduce it. But as it stands, you removed a lot of summary material for a massive article, with a large amount of content. What you have added isn't "history", but a summary of the entire article. If you want to add a history, then add a proper history section. - Aussie Article Writer (talk) 05:14, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I added in two paragraphs to the lead in order to fix the problem, and removed the tag. The wording is mostly copied over from previous versions. I think this version should work. Plumeria03 (talk) 00:15, 31 August 2021 (UTC).[reply]

It is important to not make tabs on Titles on Wikipedia. There is actually people violating presidential decisions in Texas. I can see Title fraud occurring at that level. I used to work as a SME for OFAC when he was partial term as vice president. You just can't use one Executive order against another, sspecially 13810 North Korea sanctions.that is tort and torture with USS Pueblo and porkchop hill. Then you have hostages at Title 31 part 526. No foreign party is to decide the laws of the United States. Negotiable instruments questionable in depending on what country. 208.54.166.193 (talk) 00:23, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
