This edit request to 1776 Commission has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

I would support leaving this post in place as it identifies the commission as proposed and not in place. This is a correct identifier and should be reflected as a legitimate entry.

Have removed the proposed deletion tag as not uncontroversial, but it is likely that a deletion discussion will be started. – Thjarkur (talk) 09:22, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

The page has a sentence as follows: "Jake Silverstein, editor in chief of The New York Times, wrote, in December 2020, that "The project was intended to address the marginalization of African-American history in the telling of our national story and examine the legacy of slavery in contemporary American life",[5] in response to a group of five university professors from Texas State University, Princeton University, City University of New York, and Brown University criticizing the project, arguing that it contains historical inaccuracies" December 2020 has not occurred yet, thus the statement should be revised. Thank you very much for your time. 207.172.160.125 (talk) 13:55, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

Under the Report and Reception section, the second sentence: "Among other things, the document identifies "progressivism" and "racism and identity politics" as "challenges to American principles" and likens them to with communism, slavery, and fascism." The with needs deleting. 2600:1700:6B40:4010:A16C:2B95:11E4:556F (talk) 13:46, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Done, thank you for noticing. IHateAccounts (talk) 14:00, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

video from the future?

One of the videos is from the future: "'White House Conference on American History' - video from September 17, 2021." Is that true? Or should it be 2020? I couldn't edit the article because it's locked. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.195.193.165 (talk) 16:15, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

This needs to be completely rewritten. It cites historians who are actually journalist and disparages the professors that actually worked on this publication. Talk about rewriting history for your own purposes nice job.

Not done. Since everything in this article is scrupulously sourced you will need to provide specific examples to back up your assertions. MarnetteD|Talk 23:02, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
