Talk:Thomas Morton (colonist)

message: Does anyone have a source for more information about the historian Jack Dempsey and the editing of the republished version of New Canaan? I tried looking for it but unfortunately searching for 'Jack Dempsey' returns information about the boxer of the same name  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:183:4A7F:2920:7006:6F0F:AAF7:D591 (talk) 15:17, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

message: Perhaps this could be added to the "In literature" section.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.34.21.248 (talk) 22:58, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
thread_title: Merrymount as treated in MILTON IN AMERICA, By Peter Ackroyd

message: It is my understanding that township of Devonshire is not used, but instead simply "Devon," England.  I was listening to an NPR spot awhile back, and they made mention of this common misuse of Devonshire.  Something to the affect that it is redundant.
Anyone else on this?
:It's not a "township", but a county.  Probably either can be used in a historical context. AnonMoos 04:40, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Devon vs. Devonshire

message: I cannot help but feel this is a very one-sided account in favor of Morton.  Not that I'm a fan of Bradford, but it seems to take the most positive view of Morton!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.44.63.141 (talk) 01:35, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Neutrality

message: Aside from being largely citation-free in the manner of a personal essay, this article suddenly includes a briefer article-within-the-article about Morton at the end. What's up with that? Is it some vestige of the original article posted by someone else? How sloppy can an article be without anyone apparently noticing? Well, Wikipedia is an experiment testing such limits.... 76.23.157.102 (talk) 17:29, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Typical Wikipedia Mess 

message: I came to this article, because of Ben Kingsley's account in the couple of minutes of Elegy (film). I found the writing sloppy, but rather lively. --Uncle Ed (talk) 16:46, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

message: If all this is true, where are the citations? It's cruising for a bruising. Citations would do something to mitigate the allegations of this being non-neutral.  If Bradford can testify, let's include him. Markdf10825 (talk) 04:17, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

message: If you don't know the difference between Plymouth Pilgrim separatists and Boston Puritans, where do you get the nerve to contribute to an encyclopedic article?

thread_title:  What a stinker 

message: I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:
::This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:
::#There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 18:40, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

message: I was fumbling around doing my usual troping bit at ATT and decided on a whim to see if Wikisource had anything on ol' Thomas - and it turns out they do! Mildly curious as to why none of those works are listed here, though it's very likely just an oversight somewhere (which is understandable if true). Disregard, I'm an actual idiot. --Umbire the Phantom (talk) 20:23, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
