Mobile short describtion appears to be wrong

Hello, I was never active on Wikipedia, so i just use this here. I recently noticed that the short describtion in the mobile version does not fit. It mentiones something about the KKK, maybe some line of a song. I could be wrong, thus i do not know and do not dare to change it. However, I wanted to draw attention to it so that maybe someone more experienced might fix this. With kind regards. It is not nice Thank you for your contribution to this magnificient website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.226.237.6 (talk) 03:46, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

missing “third” in oldest

Currently says: “United States: there are at least three claims:” But only 2 are cited (Averill and Samson). 120.16.204.25 (talk) 10:08, 11 June 2018 (UTC)MBG[reply]

Agreed. I am changing to two. GrindtXX (talk) 12:13, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Good edit; but I would be unsurprised if a third claim had been deleted somewhere along the way. Currently we have 1) the oldest registration, but under an act later found to be invalid as unconstitutional (thereby calling its legitimacy as a registration into question); and 2) the oldest registration still in use today. I would expect there to have been an entry for the first registration under a constitutional act, regardless of whether it is still in use. I bet it was there and removed some time ago.

I would have lost that bet. The "third claim" was the Edgar Rice Burroughs registration of his "Tarzan" mark: [1]. But that was in 1923, far too late to have been the first registration under a constitutional act (which was enacted in 1881). The mark is rather elderly, but is in no way in the running to be "oldest" under any definition. The "Tarzan" text now resides in the "Comparison with patents, designs and copyright" section, but it looks like when it was moved out, the "three" was not updated to "two"; GrindtXX's edit today fixes that.
Of course, now I'm wondering what the first registration under a constitutional act was. TJRC (talk) 16:13, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
