Alger Hiss RFC

Hi TFD. Re the Request for Comment on the Alger Hiss Talk page. Could you please help us out by commenting on the RFC as to whether you support or oppose the changes editor CJK wants to make? Thanks! Joegoodfriend (talk) 21:02, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi, TFD,

I emailed Ellen Schrecker about this today. She replied, "I do believe there is a scholarly consensus." Check out her WP bio, and especially the bibliography. I highly doubt you are more qualified than she to opine on this matter. Yet, WP is not about opinions, whether they be from Randy in Boise or an eminent scholar. WP relies on good sources. In this case, the good sources say most historians believe Hiss was a spy for the USSR.

I will be happy to forward you our dialog if you wish.
