The site used as a source for that endorsement is ourcampaigns.com. I am a member of that site, I personally removed the listing of the endorsement there so it no longer exists. That site itself was citing another source but that source was a newspaper article that actually said Faubus insisted he DIDN'T endorse Jackson. He merely wrote a letter saying nice things about him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.35.254.154 ( talk) 20:13, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
"Fables of Faubus" is cited under "See also," but does it deserve some explanation within this article? Ishboyfay ( talk) 21:56, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
How does one pronounce "Faubus"? TuckerResearch ( talk) 20:57, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
This is a pretty bad article.
Most of the factual claims in the article are uncited. As a historical figure of considerable notoriety and newsworthiness, it should be easy to add appropriate citations. I really can't be bothered to go through adding 'citation needed' tags all over the place (several dozen are needed).
There's also an awful lot of bad english/bad grammar. I came here to read about the dude, not to repair his article; I've made a minor fix or two, but I'm off now - I really don't care enough about this reckless racist idiot. MrDemeanour ( talk) 11:03, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
I have copied the following comment by SDSU-Prepper from my talk-page, where it does not belong. My reply follows. MrDemeanour ( talk) 09:33, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
Dear MrDemeanour (aka Drmies),
Regarding this content: As a child, Faubus had a father who explained that "capitalism was a fraud and that both poor whites and blacks were its victims." This was likely the catalyst to his radical left-wing ideas.
You are opposed to the word "left-wing" and so you removed the entire content? Let's discuss:' Faubus was a Democrat: left wing. Segregation was radical back in Faubus' day.
He resisted integration: https://www.britannica.com/biography/Orval-Eugene-Faubus
Would it be more agreeable to remove the word "radical" or are you saying he was not a leftist? Please clarify. SDSU-Prepper ( talk) 05:01, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
To add to this article: Faubus's ethnic background. Is Faubus a German (or Jewish) name? 173.88.246.138 ( talk) 01:45, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
