A fact from Eugene C. Barker appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 10 March 2020 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Eugene C. Barker was involved in the "biggest bear fight" in Texas history with Governor James E. Ferguson, but Barker kept his job and Ferguson was later impeached?
@Sm8900: I created this article about Eugene C. Barker about a week ago. I am thinking about adding a brief section describing Frederick Jackson Turner's influence on his work and some critiques of Barker's work. Writing an article about a historian is new for me, so I am wondering if WP History has any layout guidelines for articles of this type. Also, if you are so inclined, I welcome you to read the article and offer an evaluation: good, bad, or indifferent. Thanks, Oldsanfelipe2 (talk) 15:13, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
