[edit] Weasel Words
"Proponents of the theory...suggest that" and "it has been suggested..." are weasel words. Let's find specific sources. dpotter 00:56, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Views of Historians
EEMIV removed this line:
"Based on other historical and genealogical evidence, many historians believe it is more likely than not that Jefferson was his father. Some continue to dispute that conclusion."
It was uncited, of course. However it is true. Recent Jefferson biographers Joseph Ellis, R.B. Bernstein, and Andrew Burstein are just three examples of former naysayers who've come around to change their views. Of course, the Monticello Foundation, which owns and operates Monticello and employs a team of Jefferson historians, has done that as well. I think that line should be able to go back in once some specific citations are supplied. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Riverbythebridge (talk • contribs) 19:57, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Introductory Paragraph
Changed from 'because Jefferson had no male descendants' to 'because Jefferson had no legitimate male descendants' - the former doesn't make sense, because there's a good chance that Jefferson did have male descendants. The new version sounds awkward, though - maybe it should be 'confirmed' or similar.
