Just a brief note to let y'all know that I'm very close to running a new
set of web pages for Political Graveyard.

Current count of people in the database is 81,242 -- a pretty big increase
from the 53,000-some on the main web site, but only a bit higher than the
67,000-some on the test version which is also available online.

I'm hoping to put this up as the regular web site at the
politicalgraveyard.com address.  However, depending on my time and energy
in the next couple of days to check the thing, and whether I find problems
to be concerned about, it may end up as the test version instead.

My email is piling up a bit while I'm concentrating on getting this done.
Apologies to everyone who is waiting to hear from me.

Running a new version of the web site is always an exciting and tense time
for me.  The programs (error and consistency checking, database
preparation, and generating more than 10,000 HTML files) take many hours
to run, so I have a long time to think and worry about stuff.

Right at the moment, I feel that a web site dating back to 1999 is more
embarrassing than almost any conceivable small formatting glitch, so I'm
planning to test it pretty quickly (i.e., not necessarily fine-tooth-comb
thoroughly) and put it online at the regular politicalgraveyard.com
address, maybe by tomorrow.  More news about that soon.

Last October, when I created the "TEST-VERSION" site, I started trying to
document all the necessary steps to run a new set of web pages -- a very
long list that had previously resided only in my head.  I am building on
that effort, and it is paying off already in less worry about missing
steps.

The one awful problem is that, in getting the programming and data
checking done for the web site update, I have been neglecting my email to
an extent, and the backlog has grown.  Confession: there are now
approximately 1500 pieces of unanswered or unprocessed Political Graveyard
mail.  Almost every one of these is from some friendly person offering
interesting information for the database.

I do admittedly use boilerplate text in my replies, but it's not much fun
to have to paste in text that starts with "My apologies for the long delay
in replying..."  And of course by the time they receive it, the person has
sometimes forgotten ever writing to me.  Yet generating overdue replies is
for some reason exhausting to me.

I find it's easier to deal with mail from the familiar frequent
contributors (you know who you are :-) who send material in standard
formats and don't need individual replies to every message.

So, I've been thinking about how I might be able to get some help with my
email.  Ideally, what I need is a kind of corresponding secretary to refer
TPG messages to; he or she could then send a gracious reply to the
submitter on my behalf, distil the information contents into a standard
format, accumulate these into a report, and send it back to me.

Unfortunately, realistically, I am not going to have the resources to pay
anyone for this kind of work any time soon.

So, one thing I'm looking into is a web form that people can use to submit
data; the programming behind the form will handle the formatting.

Another step I'm taking: the biographical checklist in the new version
will be on a page by itself, and prefaced with some advice about how to
submit information in a way that will be easiest for me to deal with.
I'll send out a copy of that tonight.

                                        Larry

I have completed all preliminary work, and will start running the "final
copy" pages in a few minutes.

The new version has 81,279 politicians (compared to 53,115 in the
current version and about 67,000 in the test version).  There are 16,248
pages, compared to 10,177 in the current version and about 13,000 in the
test version.

New categories (some of these are already in the test version) include
Rhodes Scholars, Phi Beta Kappa (along with many other Greek-letter
societies), and Peace Corps.  There are also new pages for politicians who
were famous outside politics, who were in the entertainment field, or were
involved in professional sports.  I also list politicians who were
California "Forty-Niners", who were born in slavery, who had physical
disabilities, who survived assassination attempts, who participated in
duelling (there already is a died-in-duels page).  The number who were in
trouble or disgrace is up to 302, and the latest addition, just barely
started, is of politicians who were pardoned.

The number of organizations included has been greatly increased -- most of
those are in the test version.  There are more cause-of-death categories,
too.

The date-born-or-died and year-born-or-died pages have been improved, with
separate pages for born and died; alphabetical and chronological lists for
each date or year are presented side by side.

From each biographical entry, office names are linked to lists of everyone
who had that office.  Dates and years of birth are linked to the
appropriate pages, and places of birth, residence, and death are linked to
those lists on the respective county pages.

Information on presidential elections and electoral votes has been greatly
expanded and improved.  There is a page for each presidential election
summarizing electoral votes for president and vice president.  State lists
of presidential electors (far from complete as of yet) are now organized
by election year.

Thanks to the advice I received from many of you about the presentation of
full names, nicknames, and regular names, parentheses will no longer
appear in names.  Instead, the entry will explicitly list full and variant
names in approximately the following way: "Carter, James Earl, Jr. -- also
known as Jimmy Carter".  It may look a little redundant, but at least it
is clear.

The county pages have been improved in a few small ways.  The 2000 census
populations are included.  Links to the former Harden Political
Infrastructure have been updated to "CapitolImpact.com" and should work
again.  I have also added, for every county, a link to the Community
Health Status Indicators page for that county at the U.S. Health Resources
and Services administration.  The links to county GenWeb sites have been
systematically updated.  For about half the counties, there is also a link
to the corrsponding county page at www.interment.net (Cemetery Records
Online).

A few counties with large amounts of information have been split up into
five pages each.  All of these pages have the same header information and
county links, and each one links to all the others.  Unfortunately, some
of those pages (e.g., the cemeteries page for Arlington County, Virginia)
remain awkwardly large.

In the alphabetical index, many more surnames have their "own" pages.

One significant glitch that I know of -- the "politicians named for other
politicians" page is broken.  I will rerun it and add it later.

The process of running and installing the new version will probably not be
complete until Monday.  During the time this is going on, the site may be
unavailable for as much as several hours.  The error page which comes up
will provide a link to the "TEST-VERSION" which will remain in place
until after the new version is fully installed.

Many thanks to everyone for encouragement, advice, help, and support.

Now that I have the update process considerably better documented than
before, I hope to do it more often and with less anguish!

The new version of The Political Graveyard is now online.

On the whole, it looks good.  But ...

A few glitches you should be aware of.

(1) As previously mentioned, the politicians-named-for-other-politicians
page somehow failed to work.

(2) The links to Interment.Net's county pages have three excess characters
in the address, and so don't work (they take you to the main page of that
site instead).

(3) The pardons page somehow didn't show up.  I don't know why yet.

(4) The word "officeholding" is misspelled as "officholding" and that
error is magnified by being repeated hundreds of times on various pages.

(5) I forgot to bring the Random Walk shell script, so the Random Walk
won't work until that is uploaded and implemented.  That will be later
tonight or tomorrow.

With those things in mind, I'll be doing another new version soon.

If you notice other such problems, please let me know!

This is the first such request I have received since I added the "still
living as of..." wording to non-deceased entries a few years ago.

Any thoughts on how this kind of situation might better be handled or
prevented?

My two cents worth:

As politicians are public figures and thus information about them is public
information, I concur with your decision to refuse to remove the individual from
TPG. Also I couple this with another factor which makes me agree with your
decision: this request came from the son/daughter of a living politician, *not*
the politician himself.  Had this request come from the politician himself, I
would have recommended that the request be acknowledged and his name removed,
even though you specify him to be still living as of the current year. The
possible unfavorable consequences of failure to do so are not outweighed by the
public benefit of including in TPG biographical information regarding a living
current or former politician, especially when such information as is made
available in TPG is available to the researcher can be obtained from other
(albeit not as readily accessible) sources.

Hey, either name names or give up the whole idea of
the site. You cannot libel a public person and
certaionly not by calling them "still living".

I think you handled it very well, and suspect this type of request will be
so infrequent that you don't need a policy.  Handle each one on its merits
-- such as whether or not they spell your name correctly.

At first I agreed with Lawrence that a statement that a politician was still
living was all the explanation needed. Now I feel perhaps the politician's
daughter may have been right in bringing up the matter. If the site's
purpose is to 'Tell Where the Dead Politicians are Buried' and its name is
'PoliticalGraveyard.com' - perhaps listing a living person is portraying the
anticipation of a person's death as a positive outcome - just as I in cancer
research often catch myself looking upon death as a positive closure because
now I can tell you how long someone lived. In both cases we are not wishing
death on someone - but merely standing by to record the event as though it
were more important than the myriad events during life. I understand your
dilemma - and this query by a caring descendant presents you with the
opportunity to reword perhaps the mission statement of the site, and explain
clearly on the site that 'politicalgraveyard' means something other than
physicial death of humans.

On another note - are you going to list all the Consuls? One of my
ancestor's was Consul General to St Thomas when it was a Danish colony in
1859 - put in by Buchanan and taken out by Lincoln. Also, the delegates to
the major conventions - why can't the parties send that to you - didn't they
keep adequate records?

Thanks

The Political Graveyard is hosted for free on a server operated by a
friend of mine, Paul Haas.  When I decided to experiment with banner ads,
we agreed that he would get 20% of any revenue.

Like most other web sites that host ads, we have seen revenue decline
steeply over the past year, from a high of nearly $200/month to about
$40/month currently.  And I had to boot one ad network which was so
desperate for advertisers that it had started to run casino ads.  The
remaining ad network, ValueClick, is running ads mostly for itself these
days, which is not a good sign.

Note that my share of this revenue, and more, has all gone to buy old
legislative manuals, who's whos, and other research items to support and
expand the web site.  Paul has used at least some of his share for repairs
and expansion of the server and its Internet link.

Recently, Paul suggested that the web site create links to Amazon.com,
which pays referral fees for books bought by people who arrive through
your web site's links.  Specifically, they will pay 15% if a link directed
at a specific book results in someone purchasing that item, or 5% if the
person comes in through a general link or buys something else.

I had thought about Amazon.com before and rejected the idea.  I imagined
that either the site would be loaded down with "Search Amazon.com for
books about this politician?" in every entry, or else I would spend vast
amounts of time figuring out which books to link to from which politician.
And besides, I understood that we technogeeks were supposed to be
boycotting Amazon over its alleged abuse of patent law.

Be that as it may, Paul has a far better claim to being a technogeek than
I.  Perhaps the boycott has faded -- I haven't heard about it in months.
And given that Paul has done me and the Political Graveyard tremendous
service in hosting the site and maintaining the servers, I do take his
suggestion very seriously.

So, a new experiment will begin.  At the end of certain entries, of course
mostly the best-known figures, there will be links to one or more books by
or about them.  For an example of how this will work, see Henry Clay's
entry at http://politicalgraveyard.com/bio/clarken-claytee.html

As I expected, when I looked over Amazon's site for books to link to, most
of the currently available political biography is of presidents and very
recent figures.  However, I did come across some items which surprised and
interested me (e.g., biographies of Mo Udall and of Edward F. Prichard
Jr.).

It also turns out, very much contrary to my expectations, that Amazon is
also serving as a marketplace for used books, and the prices for these are
generally pretty reasonable.  Though a link from my site to an "out of
print" or "hard to find" book would (under Amazon's rules) never generate
any revenue for me and Paul, it might help connect someone to an available
used copy, and hence, be useful to people.

Seeing that many web sites which casually reference a book make that
reference a link to Amazon's page for that book is another factor which
makes me a little more comfortable with this idea than I might have been.

In conformance with the general policy of The Political Graveyard as being
a relatively objective source of information, I have mostly avoided
choosing books which might be seen as a polemic or hatchet job on the
politician subject, particularly where the subject is still living or
still in office.

I have looked over a whole lot of the currently available political
biography and identified about 200 books so far.  I think I will list
these in a message here so that y'all can critique the list and suggest
additions and alternatives (please include ISBN number for each
suggestion).  In particular, I do want to include major classic works,
even if out of print, and to find more books on non-presidents and
non-recent figures.

Obviously, I have personally read very few of these (I had to restrain
myself from buying a whole bunch of books, but managed to concentrate on
the task at hand), so each link will be more like a suggestion or an idea
than a recommendation.

Since only a relative handful out of 81,000-plus entries on the site will
have any of these book links, it won't be a terribly conspicuous addition
for most users.  And perhaps I would be able to get rid of the distracting
banner ads.

Any thoughts about this?  Is this a good direction to take?  What pitfalls
should I watch out for?

I think your idea is excellent!

		 Subject: [political-graveyard] Advertising and
Amazon.com



		 The Political Graveyard is hosted for free on a server
operated by a
		 friend of mine, Paul Haas.  When I decided to experiment
with banner ads,
		 we agreed that he would get 20% of any revenue.

		 Like most other web sites that host ads, we have seen
revenue decline
		 steeply over the past year, from a high of nearly $200/month
to about
		 $40/month currently.  And I had to boot one ad network which
was so
		 desperate for advertisers that it had started to run casino
ads.  The
		 remaining ad network, ValueClick, is running ads mostly for
itself these
		 days, which is not a good sign.

		 Note that my share of this revenue, and more, has all gone
to buy old
		 legislative manuals, who's whos, and other research items to
support and
		 expand the web site.  Paul has used at least some of his
share for repairs
		 and expansion of the server and its Internet link.

		 Recently, Paul suggested that the web site create links to
Amazon.com,
		 which pays referral fees for books bought by people who
arrive through
		 your web site's links.  Specifically, they will pay 15% if a
link directed
		 at a specific book results in someone purchasing that item,
or 5% if the
		 person comes in through a general link or buys something
else.

		 I had thought about Amazon.com before and rejected the idea.
I imagined
		 that either the site would be loaded down with "Search
Amazon.com for
		 books about this politician?" in every entry, or else I
would spend vast
		 amounts of time figuring out which books to link to from
which politician.
		 And besides, I understood that we technogeeks were supposed
to be
		 boycotting Amazon over its alleged abuse of patent law.

		 Be that as it may, Paul has a far better claim to being a
technogeek than
		 I.  Perhaps the boycott has faded -- I haven't heard about
it in months.
		 And given that Paul has done me and the Political Graveyard
tremendous
		 service in hosting the site and maintaining the servers, I
do take his
		 suggestion very seriously.

		 So, a new experiment will begin.  At the end of certain
entries, of course
		 mostly the best-known figures, there will be links to one or
more books by
		 or about them.  For an example of how this will work, see
Henry Clay's
		 entry at
http://politicalgraveyard.com/bio/clarken-claytee.html

		 As I expected, when I looked over Amazon's site for books to
link to, most
		 of the currently available political biography is of
presidents and very
		 recent figures.  However, I did come across some items which
surprised and
		 interested me (e.g., biographies of Mo Udall and of Edward
F. Prichard
		 Jr.).

		 It also turns out, very much contrary to my expectations,
that Amazon is
		 also serving as a marketplace for used books, and the prices
for these are
		 generally pretty reasonable.  Though a link from my site to
an "out of

Larry,

	 Some out of print books are only available in libraries - and a link
to the library will not generate revenue. However it would be helpful. Some
books will then be available through interlibrary loan. Others are
considered geneology and not available - I don't know why. For example, The
History of North Carolina Vol 1 & 2 by Samuel A'Court Ashe is in the Univ of
NC library - but I can't get it in Memphis because it is listed as
geneology. Many of the 'History of' about states will be good sources of
info about their older politicians.

A great idea.  Another thought...

I've noted that *sometimes* when following a link to the Congressional Biography
listing for a politician in TPG, there will be a list of printed sources used in
compiling the bio entry. A listing of and links from source entries to Amazon
(either through its new book retail site or its used book site (Bibliofind)
would, I think, be a useful and welcomed addition to TPG.

I view this as expanding your service to your readers, not an intrusion of
any nature.  If it will help you with funding the site, more power to you.
However, I don't even mind the banner ads so may not be a good critic of the
idea.

As promised, here is the list I have compiled of books to link to.
Actually, there are three lists: (1) Books BY politicians, (2) Books ABOUT
politicians, and (3) most prominent politicians who are not on either
list.  (As usual, "prominence" is a rough measure based on offices held,
etc.)

Suggestions for changes or suggestions are very welcome.  It would be
easiest for me if you included the ISBN number if available, or Amazon's
ASIN number.

Lawrence Kestenbaum;
I thoroughly enjoyed scanning the three catagories of your book list.  As to
group three "...most prominent politicians who are not on either list."two
politicians were listed who in fact have books written about their private
and public lives;

                    ARRON BURR by Milton Lomask, two volumns. 1979 and 1982
                     GEORGE B. McCLELLEN,  The  Young Napoleon by Stephen W.
Sears. 1988
I glad you are back on line.

>As promised, here is the list I have compiled of books to link to.
>Actually, there are three lists: (1) Books BY politicians, (2) Books ABOUT

>list.  (As usual, "prominence" is a rough measure based on offices held,
>etc.)

>Suggestions for changes or suggestions are very welcome.  It would be
>easiest for me if you included the ISBN number if available, or Amazon's

These may (or may not) be of interest to you regarding you book list:

Plain Speaking, an oral biography of Harry S Truman.  By Merle Miller
I actually enjoyed this Truman book more than David McCullough's great book,
"Truman."  It was done as interviews for a TV series on the Truman
presidency, but the series was never produced.  It's available used from
Amazon or from www.Alibris.com.

Lyndon: an oral biography.  Also by Merle Miller.  I know nothing of this
except to presume it is similar to his work with Truman.  It is available
used on the two sites.

The Intruders, by Senator Edward V. Long (D-MO), 1967.  Then Sen. Long was
investigating the intrusion of privacy by government and industry.  It is
available on Alibris, not on Amazon.

Jerry Litton, 1937-1976, A Biography.  This was written by the Litton
family. Jerry was U.S. Rep from Mo.  He and his family died in plain crash
following his primary victory in the Senate race in 1976.  Many of us
Missourians think he would have been President had he lived.  I only found
one used copy available, on Alibris, for $46.

I also found no listing of Tip O'Neil's "All Politics Is Local" and "Man of
the House."

Hope this is of use.

Politicalgraveyard.com (including my regular email) has been down
since yesterday due to a lightning strike at Paul Haas's house which
knocked out a router. Paul is working on getting things set up again.
  He had hoped to get the server back online this afternoon, but
apparently that didn't work.

It doesn't appear that any data was lost.

I haven't asked Paul yet how much it will cost to replace the
destroyed router -- or who will pay for it.  Another hardware-aware
friend says the cost is probably about $500.

If you need to reach me before service is restored, use
polygon@... with a copy to polygon@...

Thanks for letting us know, I was beginning to worry what was going
on when I couldn't access the site in the past 2 days (since I often
have to refer to the website a number of times a day).

Heavens. Let's hope not !
