So, please excuse me for not being familiar with this process, & unable to establish just what to do with this discrepancy.  Someone familiar with this process, who knows how to move toward final verification or correction, might decide that it is the Virginia Political Graveyard website that is in error, in which case, is it a courtesy among historians to report that to the webmaster there?

Talk:Corliss Lamont

message: The civil liberties were to be reserved for Western people - extermination of people in the Soviet Union was O.K... "shameful anti-Soviet agitation" - about protests after the death of Wiktor Alter and Henryk Ehrlich in a Soviet prison. Xx234 (talk) 12:21, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Lamont certainly defended much of what the USSR did under Stalin, but he never held that "civil liberties were to be reserved for Western people." He used the words "shameful anti-Soviet agitation" (as the link shows) based on his belief that the Alter-Ehrlich case was being exploited for ulterior motives unrelated to the innocence or guilt of the accused. As for his attitude toward civil liberties in the East, he wrote that he did not wish to "negate the fact that the administration of justice in the Soviet Union has been biased and harsh towards those considered enemies of the socialist state; that the Soviet authorities, relying on an omnipresent secret police, have jailed tens of thousands of blameless individuals in their periodic purges; and that Soviet prisons and labor camps have frequently failed to maintain decent and healthy conditions. . . . Persons like myself, who believe firmly in the Western ideals of individual liberty and the toleration of dissent, often as these ideals have been thwarted or betrayed in the West, have the obligation to continue our criticism of Soviet institutions insofar as they do not measure up to true democratic standards."

thread_title:  Removing single-sourced theory 

message: I cleaned this up yesterday and today, and don't know when I can or will get back to it. Given other matters I need to attend to, I can't travel to Richmond nor even the Library of Congress to look at the sources in the bibliography, nor did I look at this talk page while updating a computer yesterday and starting this task. Since I used many online resources without page numbers, that cleanup's obvious. So is finding the death dates of his children, and whether any served in the Confederate armed forces, as well as the exact dates of his legislative service (and predecessors and successors). More subtle would be tracing any linkage between Trenholm and the Lost Cause movement which led to the Democratic victories in many states (and the rise of Jim Crow laws) around the time of Trenholm's death. IMHO, this Rhett Butler thread is nearly a red herring, or perhaps Gone with the Wind is characterized somewhere as the height of or last gasp of the still-controversial Lost Cause.Jweaver28 (talk) 17:49, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

message: According to Wikipedia, self-published sources by authors not otherwise established are not to be used as Reliable Sources, but can only be listed for "Further reading".

She had only one article about a village published by the SC Historical Society.

message: The following was deleted from the main article.
"*Map, a Tarutaru Samurai on the Titan server of Final Fantasy XI who owns and wears the only Ninurta's Sash in the entire game. It is argued by many that this player should level Ninja to make efficient use of the Sash."
This most likely falls under flamebait and/or vanity page guidelines and is therefore inappropriate.  Before adding it back, explain why this needs to be here and the relevance of this person that makes him belong on Wikipedia.  There are plenty of other websites for information like this.
-> In response: The reason it needs to be there is quite simple. The Final Fantasy XI community is filled with players of the game who would rather Internet troll than create and maintain intelligent discussion. Map, the player in question, has been a hot topic of discussion, and subsequently, of flames, for the past several months. Much of the community agrees with the above statement, but would rather put it in much harsher words. The point of having and leaving the above entry on the page is to stop the community from adding more inappropriate versions of said text. You may notice that recently there was already a flamebait version posted.
Quite simply, if my entry does not stay on the page, I can guarantee someone else will edit it in at a later time, and more likely a different version that nobody wants to see on there. Can you handle editing these entries out for the next couple of years? I certainly wouldn't want to...
