Talk:Richard Waldron (Secretary)

Untitled

Thank you to the well-intentioned contributor who deleted a citation to published New Hampshire history writer David E. Van Deventer as contained at a gencircles site. I regret that the cited material isn't at a more recognized website. However it is the only on line copy of the material I'm aware of and it would perhaps be more wrong to not properly credit Mr. Van Deventer than to include a gencircles site. I originally cited Mr. Van Deventer and I'm neither Mr. Van Deventer nor "DavidDM" at Gencircles, so the tag of "self published" or "user generated" would not apply.

"Multiple Issues"

Thank you for the banner caution from October 2016 that this article has multiple issues: notability, primary sources, needs additional citations to verify, and self published sources. But can you please clarify? With respect to notability, please note Secretary Waldron was, for a time, the central authority in New Hampshire politics through his close friendship with governor Belcher. He is a central character in at least one of the chapters in Mr. Daniel's book entitled New Hampshire, a History. Secretary Waldron could have changed the course of New Hampshire history, as two of the cited historians testify, and was responsible for fighting a rear guard action against a spinning off of New Hampshire as a more independent entity. With respect to primary sources, please clarify which ones are the primary sources and how much of the whole they comprise? With respect to a need for verification, please note there are 27 citations. Perhaps someone should bring in the Batinski work, but am unsure that there should be a banner across the top of the article for a failure to do that. And lastly, please clarify which are the self published sources?RWIR (talk) 07:54, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
