| Could you please explain why you took away the "citation needed" request from the statement that Morgan Mason "to this day is the youngest advisor to the President of the United States in history", without providing a citation? According to ], "Material that is challenged or likely to be challenged, and all quotations, must be attributed to a reliable, published source." | |||
| I also would like to know if you can verify the statement you reinstated about Mason being "the youngest delegate to any national political convention". The citations on the ] indicate that there have been delegates as young as age 17, whereas Mason is not identified as having been a delegate until 1980, when he was 25 years old. Thanks for your attention to this. --] 01:33, 25 August 2007 (UTC) | |||
