In the "In Popular Culture" section, in the last paragraph, the first time Isaac Higgintoot is mentioned it is misspelled as "Issac" instead of "Isaac".
Change "Issac Higgintoot" to "Isaac Higgintoot".
Full Paragraph: "Alexander Hamilton is mentioned several times in the American adaptation of Ghosts by main character, Issac Higgintoot, who has a troubled history and strong dislike for Hamilton. Alexander Hamilton's backstory with Isaac and why he hates him so much, is finally revealed in the fourteenth episode of the fourth season, and Isaac learns of Hamilton's death earlier in the series."

Wikipedia volunteers are not a research service but how about you looking up the musical here on Wikipedia. You know, do a search for "Hamilton" and see what comes up?... - Shearonink (talk) 13:31, 23 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
Please mention Lin Manuel Miranda’s broadway musical Hamilton, one of the reasons everyone knows about Alexander. Also, his wife, Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton, deserves more credit. She lived for 50 years after hamilton’s death, and dedicated the rest of her time to preserving his legacy from the slander of his enemies. Eliza also founded the first private orphanage in New York City, and that orphanage still exists today. For some reason Eliza is never recognized for everything she’s done.

The musical is mentioned in the section "In Popular Culture". Take a look at that; if for any reason you want to correct it and/or expand it, you can try to.
Hamilton's meeting, and marriage to, his wife, is mentioned in the section "George Washington's staff". This includes a link to the separate Wikipedia article about her, Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton. Again, as with everything in Wikipedia, you are welcome to tinker. Bruce leverett (talk) 20:13, 13 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
