Talk:Legacy of George Washington

message: I moved this section here for reference.  The slavery section in the GW legacy article should focus on whether Washington had an affect on slavery. After his slaves were freed his wife did not free her slaves.  Washington freeing his slaves had no effect on other slave owners releasing their slaves. Cmguy777 (talk) 16:26, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Slavery legacy 

message: Should George Washington#Legacy be merged into this article, with only a short summary left behind? Rationale: This legacy article exists for a reason, and the main GW article is swimming in "legacy" trivia, with disputes on the talk page there about adding more of it, distracting from the purpose of improving the historical bio article.
After the merger, a section that is a comprehensive treatment of GW in fiction should be written (in prose, not as a list), for things like filmic portrayals, use of GW as a major video game character (often as in an anhistorical way), etc., or people will never strop trying to insert bullet items about video games, comics, etc., into the main article, which is about the actual historical figure.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  22:27, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Considering all the content in the G.W. Legacy section, this will no doubt involve a some discussion/debate as to what will be removed from that section to the Legacy' article here. There's also the issue of who will be willing to do the actual editing. Unfortunately proposals tend to outnumber actual editing efforts considerably, and that's an optimistic view.  I would leave most of the content/images for memorials, currency and postage (present when the article became a Good Article) in the main G.W. article. For starters I will remove a few redundant statements regarding currency and postage. --
* Support - There is no reason that this article cannot contain a  "Legacy" section, as previously mentioned by another user.  As long as the section is concisely written and is indeed a short summary, I don't see a problem in including it.  Comatmebro User talk:Comatmebro 15:27, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Section merge 

message: The George Washington Legacy section was quite lengthy in terms of weight for a biography. I moved a considerable amount of content from there to the article here. The moves were bold and further editing may be needed here as well as in the Legacy of G.W. article in terms of chronology, redundancy, citations, overlinking, etc. Hope this hasn't ruffled anyone's feathers. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 19:59, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
