message: The exerpt from the 1949 essay could just as easily be talking about dropping bombs. I don't see that mentioning sept 11 is necessary, and gives a prophetic nature to EB White as well.
:Well, it's obviously about dropping bombs, given the era in which it was written.  I myself think the whole thing should be removed, except, perhaps, for serving as an example of how gracefully and clearly he wrote. As for prophesizing 9/11, even in a random way, that is obviously complete nonsense. Hayford Peirce 16:56, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

message: It says here that EBWhite graduated from Cornell in 1921.  Next it states he worked in Seattle for "several years" before returning to NY in 1924.  That doesn't add up, ladies!
:Cornell is in New York (Ithica, New York), and several means three or four. Seems to add up to me. TheScotch (talk) 09:23, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

message: Can anyone confirm that White is the inventor of a composition help called "The Circle Outline"? I've attributed it to him for 20 years. A quick Google search comes up empty. 
This is a potential expansion point of this article, if we establish notability.--MarkA12 08:30, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

message: A person with an IP address (168.9.48.254) at the State of Georgia/Department of Education repeatedly vandalized the article, a person with more time and familiarity with the article might want to check it over for any mischief.--Mikerussell 16:45, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text:  There are quite unexpected personal descriptions of E. B. White’s, Harold Ross’s and James Thurber’s lifes and characters in the book Robert K. Greenleaf, “The Power of Servant Leadership”. You might want to check them out. – Publius (talk) 11:07, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

message: What was his religious preferences and should it be included in his info box? Invmog (talk) 04:54, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: If there happens to be something particularly notable about his "religious preferences" (I have no reason to suppose there is) than that information could be included in the article proper. Nothing about religion should be included in the "info box", however. TheScotch (talk) 09:19, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

message: I want to point out that White's birth place in the narrative text is listed as Albany, New York, but in the data block it is listed as Mount Vernon, New York, which is a suburb in Westchester County that borders the Bronx -- a long way from Albany.  I don't have any way to set this right myself since I don't have any printed (non-Internet) source information that I could consider definitive... but just wanted to point it out.

message: Why does it say his father's name was Samuel Johnson?  That doesn't make sense and is not cited.  I believe his father's name was Samuel Tilly White.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.202.254.39 (talk) 21:48, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

message: I've added  and  to the statement that Alzheimer's disease was the cause of death.  What I know about Alzheimer's matches what is stated in Alzheimer's disease - that it is not a fatal disease, and death comes from other, secondary issues.  deadoralive.com seems like a completely unreliable source and I believe the statement should be struck unless something more reliable can be found.

message: In an age where mental health is discussed more openly, I'd urge mention of his depression. This was not a hypothetical diagnosis. It was important in his writing and in his life. Pittsburgh Poet (talk) 22:08, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

message: I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates. 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. Feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 (talk) 11:59, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

message: This seems to be a bit of an orphan:
"Katharine's son from her first marriage, Roger Angell, spent decades as a fiction editor for The New Yorker and was well known as the magazine's baseball writer."
Note sure why this is in the section.  Was going to delete but maybe this was suppose to be tied to something else? Perm Dude (talk) 22:16, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
