WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Tag & Assess 2008

Article reassessed and graded as start class. Referencing and appropriate inline citation guidelines not met. With appropriate citations and references, this article would easily qualify as B class is not higher. --dashiellx (talk) 14:37, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Correct date?

In early 1865 Delany was granted an audience with Lincoln.

Make more sense if it were 1863.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stampdxer (talk • contribs) 11:27, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Writings

Re-working this "Writings" section will make a lot more sense if his writings are all in one section and in order by date published. I'll add more here to make it more cohesive.

Works

This works section needs the sources to back it up. Again, I'll add to it when the "Writings" section is re-done and add to what isn't there already.

Delany and Harriet Beecher Stowe

The article does not express with accuracy the attitude held by Delany in regards to Harriet Beecher Stowe or Uncle Tom's Cabin. He thought her a racist Colonizationist, and while he regarded the book as a good anti-slavery slogan, he could not be described as being 'a fan' of either the work or the woman.

For more check out his letter to Frederick Douglass here:

http://utc.iath.virginia.edu/africam/afar03rt.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.14.245.202 (talk) 07:10, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delany's letter is a primary source, which Wikipedia would not generally attempt to summarize. In rare instances (e.g., film plots), we ill summarize with great caution to avoid stepping in any way outside of what the source directly states. For a historical subject, primary sources are generally not used. Rather than interpreting what, for example, the secession declaration of South Carolina said, Wikipedia presents independent reliable sources saying they were acting to preserve slavery, then quote the relevant sections of the document the sources cite, as well as other documents cited as making that clear.

If relevant reliable sources comment on Delany's letter, please present the sources here. - SummerPhD^v2.0 19:10, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Martin Delany (producer and actor)

I am doing some work on the actor and producer Martin Delany, but there is no page for him. I am finding it very difficult to find information and would much appreciate it if you could add a page for him. If you are concerned about who I am talking about, I am talking about Martin Delany who is most commonly associated with the television show "Mrs Brown's Boys." He was an executive producer as well playing Trevor.

Thank you for your time.
