thread_title: Beahan's Birthday

message: There is a long-standing discrepancy in Beahan's date of death, which is listed at many references as March 10th.  But his gravestone clearly says that he died on March 9th.  (One photo available here.)  And to support that, here is the obituary section of the Chicago Tribute that says that "Beahan died Thursday", here.  March 9th was a Thursday, which can be verified here.  Based on all of this evidence, the article will be changed to show that he actually died on March 9th, and not March 10th.--Tdadamemd sioz (talk) 14:21, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

message: He considered himself to be of Irish descent, as did his contemporaries in Ireland and the U.S. Against this is a bit of pure original research apparently DNA furnished by a descendant, with the test result presented here as a reference. That does not meet the Wikipedia standard of a reliable source, since it is a primary document and has not been published in a reliable secondary source where its accuracy can be checked.

message: Allen left Poultney by 1774 for Tinmouth. It was then the next town to Poultney. He moved up the Poultney River to land at the mouth of the valley known as the Gulf, near land owned by his brothers Samuel and Noah Allen and a pitch owned until 1778(but not occupied)  by his distant cousin Ethan Allen. His sister Waity Allen married Ensign Stephen Rice, an early settler in Tinmouth. Allen was conducting surveys in Tinmouth in 1773. At the second Tinmouth town meeting, in 1775, he was chosen surveyor of highways, tithing man, and fence-viewer - then important local positions; now gone or functionless. He represented Tinmouth at the Vermont Constitutional Convention. Whether he was the originator of the Constitution's provision barring holding men over 21 and women over 18 slavery is unknown. However, in pursuing British soldiers retreating from Ticonderoga in November 1777 he captured a large party - two of whom turned out to be a slave woman and her child. Allen wrote out a classic manumission document for her. "It is not right in the sight of good to keep slaves," it states. Since Congress allowed troops who captured enemy property to keep it, he and his company chose to free her. The document is recorded in the town records of Bennington, Vermont. Allen spent the rest of the War commanding frontier forts. In 1782 he was commanding Fort Vengeance in Pittsford, Vermont. He moved to South Hero in 1783. Since he surveyed Tinmouth roads in 1789 and 1780, all of them still in use, and commanded forts in the south until 1782, he is unlikely to have moved much earlier than 1783.

Talk:David D. McKiernan

message: I'm no professional wikipedian and didn't have time to read the paragraphs of tedious instructions about how best to address my point, but for those savvy editors out there let me offer this - GEN McKiernan's bio should not have been changed to reflect his command in Afghanistan in the past tense.  He is still the ground combatant commander until such time as his relief is confirmed by congress.  I know that dozens of people breathlessly ran to edit this article to reflect today's events but they are incorrect in doing so.  For what it's worth I'm an active duty Army officer.

Talk:Amphipathic

message: There seems to be a problem where the Amphiphilic molecule is listed as a sub-group of the whole amphipathic molecule. Though, this change was performed by User:Fadeev, who apparently was only an editor for a few days in November 2005 -- the article originally listed the sub-group as Amphoteric. His handful of other edits seem good faith, but there's not much to go on.
His second change was to list them as synonyms, which is confusing, though that is what the original version of the proposed merge article says. Anyway, I looked at this from the merge page and decided this needs an expert.
If they do get merged, I'd suggest a revert to Amphoteric as the subgroup for now, and let someone else fix it if it is wrong. -- Kendrick7 04:22, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Gouyen

message: Some factual issues in the present Gouyen article (August 17, 2009) needed correction.  First, the birth date is incorrect--the Apache wars were mostly over in the 1880s (Geronimo surrendered in 1886), making the 1880 date-of-birth impossible.  Stockel (2000) gives a birth date circa 1857 which seems reasonable.  Second, Tres Castillos is in Mexico--not New Mexico; the 1880 battle when Victorio was killed is fairly well documented.  Third, the chronology is not correct in the present article, which places the Tres Castillos battle occurring before the Comanche incident.  According to Stockel (2000)  and piecing other sources together, the Comanche incident occurred before the Battle of Tres Castillos.  The date of the Comanche incident is subject to some question--according to the oral account documented in Robinson (2000) it was around 1870, while Stockel (2000) gives a date 1879.  Such inconsistencies are to be expected from oral histories.  To correct these problems, I have rewritten much of the existing the article. Pinethicket (talk) 08:53, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: As Governor, he won the U.S. Supreme Court case Governor of Georgia v. Madrazo, which was a dispute over his (or the state's) ownership of a group of slaves. I think that makes his slave-owning highly notable. In my understanding, this was treated simply as a property dispute in the court system at the time. The legal issues might have been considered the same if it was a dispute over barrels of nails rather than people, but at its core, he pursued a case in which he was a named party (as an office-holder) in a U.S. Supreme Court case about the ownership of enslaved people. And he won the case, so he/Georgia was able to keep the slaves without being forced to provide any compensation to Madrazo. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 15:30, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

message: I created proper inline citations out of the previous list of citations that were out of order and unclear. There is still a lot of work to do, so I kept the original list below the proper one for now. I would like a second set of eyes to make sure I transcribed everything correctly first.
I tried to research publication information for everything cited and expand/correct citations were I could. Nonetheless, I could not find the vast majority of works that are cited, so they may need to be checked for relevance to the article and correct publication information.
The original author of the article appears to used a large amount of primary sources and because of the volume of citations from Peter Force's American Archives, I suspect many of the letters, journals, memoranda, et cetera, came from there. I could only cite Peter Force for ones explicitly stated to be from American Archives however.
