07:2407:24, 10 January 2010 diff hist −205 John Danforth →Senate races: Woods' quote is irrelevant to Danforth's biography, and breaks up the line of thought regarding Danforth that is the incident's only relevance here.

15:1715:17, 6 January 2010 diff hist −578 Albert Sidney Johnston →Epitaph: Deleting OR. There's no connection between his death and Mormonism; it sounds like somebody was trying to imply Johnston got his just deserts.
15:0015:00, 6 January 2010 diff hist −69 Battle of Chancellorsville →In popular media: only Chancellorsville was used as a model for Crane's novel

16:2616:26, 4 January 2010 diff hist −6 Act Against Slavery As explained in the Slavery Abolition Act article, the legislation was not comprehensive.

22:5822:58, 2 January 2010 diff hist +1,368 Theodosia Burr Alston →Disappearance: Moving and rewriting the convoluted tale Snow presents, which is recognized by modern historians as carrying fictional elements. The painting is not by Vanderlyn
21:4821:48, 2 January 2010 diff hist −6 Theodosia Burr Alston To speak of her as "Burr Alston" is an anachronistic modernization; in her own time and in modern histories she is referenced only as Theodosia or Mrs. Alston. She wasn't married at 11, so.....
03:0403:04, 2 January 2010 diff hist −138 French and Indian Wars Dummer was just a minor scalp-hunting episode and does not warrant being included among these major wars. The Columbia Encylo., 6th ed., only includes these four among the "F&I Wars"
02:3702:37, 2 January 2010 diff hist −49 Glory (1989 film) →Historical accuracy: Montgomery's own Wiki bio quotes a historian describing him as "unscrupulous," so one clause seems fair. The Jayhawker bit is irrelevant.

17:3117:31, 30 December 2009 diff hist −259 D. C. Stephenson →Convicted of murder: Edwin Edwards is the guy famous for saying that. "Dummies" is a lousy source, and I find no mention of it in professional works.
