Talk:Andrew Dickson White

message: Err, it seems that after actually looking at the bibliography more closely, that this article does have references after all. However, I found this odd statement, "like most educated Americans at the time", which unless its a supportable generalization with verifiable statistics or something, sounds like a POV violation, so im going to remove it so this can be a GA.

thread_title:  GA status 

message: Members of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles are in the process of doing a re-review of current Good Article listings to ensure compliance with the standards of the Good Article Criteria. (Discussion of the changes and re-review can be found here). A significant change to the GA criteria is the mandatory use of some sort of in-line citation (In accordance to WP:CITE) to be used in order for an article to pass the verification and reference criteria. Currently this article does not include in-line citations. It is recommended that the article's editors take a look at the inclusion of in-line citations as well as how the article stacks up against the rest of the Good Article criteria. GA reviewers will give you at least a week's time from the date of this notice to work on the in-line citations before doing a full re-review and deciding if the article still merits being considered a Good Article or would need to be de-listed. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us on the Good Article project talk page or you may contact me personally. On behalf of the Good Articles Project, I want to thank you for all the time and effort that you have put into working on this article and improving the overall quality of the Wikipedia project.

thread_title:  GA Re-Review and In-line citations 

message: I removed:
See also John Polkinghorne's works such as Science and Religion.
Because John Polkinghorne does not mention White, or the idea of the flat earth in his book. Both "white" and "flat" in a google book search have irrelevant reference to these two words. Columbus doesnt even appear. 
I attempted to find references to  John Polkinghorne  talking about White and the flat earth, because the reference mentions "works such as" but I could not find them.Travb (talk) 02:53, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

message: "At the onset of World War I, White, an ethnic German-American with strong professional and emotional ties to Germany, vocally supported the German cause, but, by the summer of 1915, he retreated from this position, refraining from offering support, publicly or privately."
^
Both his mother("Dickson") and father("White") were from New England families. Where is the proof that he had Germany ancestry?
The source indicates that he (because of his role as Ambassador to Germany) received letters from, German Americans, complaining about treatment towards Germany and its people. It does indicate his admiration for Germany and its culture, and this might be where confusion arises.
"His last years were clouded by the Great War, for his love for Germany was rooted in both reason and sentiment. He shared the heartbreak of all patriotic German-Americans , and, although convinced of the duplicity of Germany in breaking international agreements and affected by the courage of the American forces, he could only ever wonder at the spectacle of virtuous hatred displayed by Americans toward everything German."

This sentence is quite ambiguous. It doesn't mean that he was a patriotic German American -- more that he sympathised with them.
This article needs to be changed to show this.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.175.13.142 (talk) 18:35, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
