thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Some passages in Section 1.4, "Lincoln and Speed," appear to have been lifted without attribution from a 1999 Slate article by Carol Lloyd.  For instance, in the second paragraph,
This entry reads, "Lincoln, though notoriously awkward and shy around women, was at the time engaged to Mary Todd, a vivacious, if temperamental, society girl, also from Kentucky."
Lloyd's text reads, "Lincoln, who was notoriously awkward and shy around women, was at the time engaged to a vivacious, if temperamental, society girl named Mary Todd."
A few sentences later, the Wikipedia entry reads, "Speed departed as planned soon after, leaving Lincoln mired in depression and guilt."
Lloyd's text reads, "Speed departed as planned soon after, leaving Lincoln mired in depression and guilt."
Lloyd's article is cited as a source for this entry, but not for this section.  This raises major questions of credit and integrity. Mgllama (talk) 21:20, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I added a link to the family's plantation, now a historic site, and made changes to the article about his brother. I suggest moving the genealogy material here to an article about his father, who IMHO meets wikipedia's notability criteria, but don't know when of if I'll have time to write it. Also, I don't know if Kentucky has a book/list of delegates and their successors as was published in Virginia in 1978, but it would be nice to know who preceded and succeeded both Speed brothers in Kentucky's legislature. If my memory serves, the Know-Nothing party was active in Virginia in the period of this Speed's legislative service.Jweaver28 (talk) 16:00, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
