"He is a product of" - sounds biased, as in "he is a product of those liberal bastions." Wiki gods, please fix! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.108.219.172 ( talk • contribs) {{{2}}}.
I was wrong about Woods--his credential are in order to critique Wilentz, which seems to be based on a forthcoming book by Woods. Rjensen ( talk) 01:02, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
see debate at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard under "Alexander Hamilton"
There is an edit war going on at Alexander Hamilton in which one editor USER:Pmanderson repeatedly removes a quotation about Hamilton by historian Sean Wilentz (who won the Pulitzer prize) saying that it is "defamatory" of Wilentz to quote him. The other editors all disagree and say the quotation is proper and should be kept. The talk page shows Pmanderson had been highly antagonistic for years on the Hamilton article and in 2012 was banned for one year for his disruptions on another article. We need a determination by this board whether the added text is "defamatory" re Wilentz or not. The disputed text is this:
Wilentz has an op-ed in The New York Times on 4-4-2019 ("The Electoral College Was Not a Pro-Slavery Ploy") in which he backtracks on a position he made in a recent book ('No Property in Man: Slavery and Antislavery at the Nation’s Founding').
In the first edition of this book, he stated that it was, but according to the op-ed, he's changed his mind after further research, and lays out his reasons why. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.113.2.41 ( talk) 17:32, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates for books and articles, as well as tables for organising short stories, poems and/or book reviews. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. ISBNs and other persistent identifiers, where available, are commented out, but still available for reference. This is a work in progress; feel free to continue.
