Incorrect title

edit

"IV" is not part of Edward Shippen's name. He is the fourth Edward Shippen in the American branch of the Shippen family, but only the third to have a WP article. His great-grandfather was the first Edward Shippen in America, his great-uncle the second, and his father the third. In a similar situation, I have included birth/death dates in the article title to distinguish between the subjects. I propose to do that here, renaming this article Edward Shippen (1729-1806). The same fix can be applied to Edward Shippen, III. Any objections, editors? WCCasey (talk) 21:14, 26 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
