Talk:Timothy Blackstone

message: Few small points - 
*Can the "Ascendancy" section be renamed? It covers biography after Early Life to his death.
*He could not have been president of the Joliet Railroad in 1961.
*I suppose this is as exhaustively researched and sourced as possible, no? It would be nice to have some expansion on some topics (esp Zionism), but it looks like you've been plundering the archives for biographical info as it is.

#:a Pass/Fail: 
The section on Zionism is problematic: the source is dubious and the logic leap (he "funded" his cousin, so he is by association a Zionist).  He may well have been a Zionist, but the sources are not sufficient to make that claim.  Either source it better (more verifiably and reliably) or remove for now.  Then I can pass it as a GA.
