Capitalization of Black

[edit]

Eddie891, I completely agree that Black should be capitalized as it is in this article, and has been by the vast majority of mainstream US news media (at least following this summer's events). I am less clear about WP's policy on this. Do we have one? If not, should we get one? I shudder to think of what an RfC at MOS:CAPS would be like if this isn't policy yet—especially given the fact that RS capitalize Black and not white. AleatoryPonderings (???)

AleatoryPonderings I'm not aware of any policy one way or another-- it's something I don't think very many people really considered before, say, June 2020. While it might be worth codifying in policy, I don't personally think its worth the effort that an RFC would entail unless multiple users actually are actively disagreeing with it, which isn't something I've seen.

Gotcha, seems reasonable. Was mainly just curious. I've been reverted on it before on Lloyd Austin, but that's the only time I can recall it being opposed. AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 19:38, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting (reliable?) source

[edit]

Eddie891: This 1919 biographical encyclopedia explicitly attributes J+J to John Henry Keene. Worth a mention? Unclear to me if it's reliable. AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 03:38, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

AleatoryPonderings thanks for adding some stuff already! I think that book looks fine to add a brief mention of, though I wouldn't use it for any crazy claims. Eddie891 Talk Work 13:34, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Typo?

[edit]

The article states "Although the book is listed as having been written only by Brotherhood of Liberty, the scholar Elaine K. Freeman argues that John Henry Keene, a white lawyer, actually wrote the vast majority of the book; Johnson attributes only its first 43 pages to the Brotherhood and argues that they were written by Harvey Johnson." Shouldn't "Johnson attributes only its..." actually be "Freeman attributes only its..."?

Yeah, I suppose it is. Good catch. Eddie891 Talk Work 21:07, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
