William B. Allen

No other entries in category African American political scientist are identified by their ideological orientatio. Also, regarding, "He has authored The Imaginative Conservative and Re-thinking Uncle Tom," the former is inaccurate and the latter is duplicative - see: Select bibliography entry #3: Re-Thinking Uncle Tom: The Political Philosophy of H. B. Stowe (Lexington Books), 2008. OckRaz talk 21:11, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

African American political scientist is NOT a "category." What is wrong with you? His political ideologies are absolutely not only relevant but important.
He's an author at The Imaginative Conservative. I'll fix that typo.
Listing his more important works outside of a "select Bibliography" is fair game, which includes The Uncle Tom book AND his work with Hillsdale AND appearing on Ben Shapiro's show.
Wiki is supposed to be about truth, NOT your personal opinion. Nccondor23 (talk) 21:59, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
oh, so it is a category. gross! Nccondor23 (talk) 22:07, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
why isn't he listed as an American political scientist? what's going on with wiki!!! Nccondor23 (talk) 22:09, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
it's a smaller category, and i checked all the other pages in it. checking every political scientist would have taken a long time. a smaller category like afr am poli sci's can be checked relatively quickly, which is why i chose it: to look at the standard for writing the lead paragraph.

he's an American political scientist. Filing him elsewhere is...well, I'll let you decide Nccondor23 (talk) 23:25, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's not fair game to say "Uncle Tom" book when it's not about Uncle Tom (a fictional character whose name became an epithet), but "The Political Philosophy of H. B. Stowe," (the author of the novel) which becomes obvious when the full title is used - which it already was in the bibliography before your addition to the lead. I've added the fact that he's a contributor to Imprimus and Imaginative Conservative to the publication section. OckRaz talk 23:13, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The name of the book is "Re-thinking Uncle Tom" the subhead is "The Political Philosophy of H. B. Stowe", don't get it twisted
people are going to be looking at this page for a reason, it should be factual and have relevant and current content where people can find it easily. It is counter-factual to hide the truth. He's an unabashed, outspoken conservative, there is no honest reason to hide it.
I'll get to his role in the African American Studies workgroup in Florida soon enough. Nccondor23 (talk) 23:23, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think you missed my point. I didn't remove a reference to the book. It was already in the article in the list of publications. You singled out that particular book in the lead paragraph (why that one?) and didn't use the full title. You didn't add any new information to what had been there beforehand, but instead chose to emphasize one particular publication (randomly? based on your opinion of importance?) without even using the correct title. As far as his being a conservative, everyone has political views, and that includes political science professors. If we start going through the pages of every scholar and labeling them by their politics, we'd have civil war amongst the editors. OckRaz talk 23:38, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I don't agree with much of what you want, but I made it so anyway, despite the fact that he in the American Social Scientists category but NOT the American Political Scientists. Nothing I've added is false in any way. Nccondor23 (talk) 22:30, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

could you be more specific? Nccondor23 (talk) 23:25, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
oh Magnolia, how disingenious you are:
none of this is cited yet you left it in, among many other examples, did Ockham's razor call you for help?
