Duplicate entry?

What is the point of having this entry when there is another one that is virtually identical? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Director_of_the_Central_Intelligence_Agency) This one is actually out of date, as it does not have the latest Director information. (I'm aware of the new DNI post, but wouldn't it be sensible to now merge these two articles?) Jaycey 22:29, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for updating this. Jaycey 09:37, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nonsense

How can the post have ceased to exist in 2005, but a new Director was appointed in 2009? Skinsmoke (talk) 14:52, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ronald Reagan

The 40th President of the United States had the last name Reagan, not Regan. Euonyman (talk) 00:37, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicate Helms

I guess I screwed up the formatting when I tried to fix it, but why are there identical entries for Richard Helms in the chart? Seems like a clear mistake. -R. fiend (talk) 15:29, 13 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Same as formatting for Dulles and Tenet, who also served under successive administrations, though Helms dates might need differentiation. I will tinker to attempt single entry; if it's possible, answer is probably here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table#Combined_use_of_COLSPAN_and_ROWSPAN but no guarantee.
