Talk:Haym Salomon

message: Mr. Solomon played a very minor role, if any, in helping the American cause. He traded securities between NY and Philadelphia.
His son or grandson discovered this and made up the Solomon story.
Do not let the facts get in the way of a good story.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.65.0.68 (talk) 15:02, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

*Let it be. It makes absolutely no difference as the spelling was interchangeable, and both "Solomon" and "Salomon" are Jewish spellings of the same name. IZAK 13:33, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Spelling of last name 

message: :Hindsight is 20/20, but at the time, the United States actually becoming a successful nation was very much in doubt.  If not for the assistance of France, the luck and morality of Washington, and the foiling of the Newburgh Conspiracy, the United States would probably have never existed.  For you to imply that a businessman like Solomon would consider the U.S. a way to make a buck only shows your complete ignorance of American history.  American independence was about the worst possible investment in the world in the 1770's.  -Kasreyn 02:14, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: This guy was out for a buck. Sure he did not see all the money paid back in his lifetime, it went to his kids. Duh.

message: Someone has gone through and changed every instance of "Solomon" to "Salomon".  Problem is, the article title is still Solomon.  I personally don't care one way or the other, and don't know of any particular evidence than one or the other spelling is considered "correct".  However, the article should be self-consistent.
There are two options I see:  Either restore all the instances of "Salomon" (except the aka bit) to "Solomon", or rename the article "Salomon" and redirect.  I'd prefer to just restore the spelling than rename the article.  If no one replies in one week I'll do that.  Kasreyn 00:30, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Peer review 1; Did he really lend money to the  government? 

message: Same peer review here, a June 2006 article from the Journal of American History which advice certainly should be heeded. It also says: "The bibliography for Haym Salomon contains only two works, both published more than fifty years ago. Of one of those books, American National Biography Online warns that it “repeats all the myths and fabrications found in earlier accounts." As dates are not given for the bibliography, they should, and this book removed, with a note left on the talk page explaining why. Tazmaniacs 17:24, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Peer review 2 & poor bibliography 

message: "Acting as the patriot that we was..." I presume here that one is a patriot when he never asks for return; certainly Mr. Solomon himself could have never accomplished this if he wasn't the well situated individual that you say he was, sir. The undertone from your statement there being: we should all give so generously; possible undertone: those who appear to have given too much – going far beyond their means – should shut up afterwards.
Is it possible, lets just say, that maybe some of those overly "generous" individuals were in fact just simply victims of grand larceny or theft? Because I see this often to be the case: persons who were thought to have been "generous" were in fact found to have been victims of some sort of scam to pilfer their lives and livelihood.
So please, do not opinionate your article in this way sir: with subtle messages and unsupported undertones to ominous "certain persons" of whom the rest of us have absolutely no idea to whom you are referring.

Can someone close this AfD, merge this article with the redirect currently at the target (Haym Salomon), and create a redirect in its place, since there appears to be nobody else that cares, and my explanation above provides precedent? —[AlanM1(talk)]— 22:24, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
