Frequently asked questions Q1: Why is Grover Cleveland listed as the 22nd AND 24th President? It doesn't make sense for him to be counted twice!
A1: It's how the U.S. government has always done it. We can only use verifiable material from reliable sources, and all of the sources list Cleveland as the 22nd and 24th President. It's not up to us to develop new numbering systems. |

Restrictive / Non-Restrictive Clause
[...] the only president in American history to serve two nonconsecutive terms in office from 1885 to 1889 and from 1893 to 1897.
A COMMA (or a colon) SHOULD BE INSERTED - AFTER THE WORD "OFFICE." Otherwise, the sentence appears to be claiming that Cleveland was the only president to serve two nonconsecutive terms IN THOSE PERIODS OF TIME.

Link the words 'Benjamin Harrison' that appear after 'Succeeded by' to his Wikipedia page, currently it is not linked text, just plain text ~2025-35212-94 (talk) 20:55, 20 November 2025 (UTC)
Not done per MOS:DUPLINK. "Link a term at most once per major section, at first occurrence."

"Change Grover Cleveland preceeded by Benjamin Harrison to preceeded by Chester A. Arthur for Cleveland's 22nd term as it constantly loops between Grover Cleveland and Benjamin Harrison." ~2026-12378-02 (talk) 18:43, 24 February 2026 (UTC)
Not done: it's not clear what changes you want made. Please detail the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. ScrubbedFalcon (talk) 19:34, 24 February 2026 (UTC)
