Talk:Nat Hentoff

message: I think referring to his various social and political positions as "idiosyncratic" is a personal opinion and not a fact. - Marauder  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.36.100.13 (talk) 18:22, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: In the context, his "idiosyncracy" seems entirely to be his general pro-life position.  In any case, the statement is not referenced, and should be, or should be removed. --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 00:19, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Idiosyncratic"? 

message: The article still needs a fair amount of expansion for a figure of his stature. The career info is cursory and the lede doesn't fully reflect the contents of the article, as of now. The sources should also be double-checked for reliability and secondary sources used instead of primary sources for highlighting the key parts of his political commentary.  czar 09:13, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

message: This article is missing some things. First, there is no description of his writing style – a major omission for a writer! Second, there's no mention of his liner notes for albums; he wrote hundreds (at least) of them. Third, there's not much on his early life and what there is leads to more questions: in what ways did Sweeney influence him? What did he study at university? And at Harvard, and did he complete his studies? And at the Sorbonne? Not mentioned: what led to his interest in jazz/music generally? Did he play? Fourth, there's no sense conveyed of what impact his writing had: he received some awards, but did any of his campaigning (on musical or non-musical matters) have any effect? What were the reactions to / comments on his writings? Filling in these gaps would create a better picture of him. EddieHugh (talk) 20:20, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: And more... the lead states that he was a historian and novelist, but the main text barely mentions anything about history, and his novels, as far as I can see, aren't mentioned in the text at all (only in a list at the end). EddieHugh (talk) 20:24, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  Agree Nat Hentoff's name is known to most Europeans primarily as the author of innumerable sleeve notes. Everybody got to be somewhere! (talk) 21:29, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
