  • 22:2622:26, 23 April 2019 diff hist −14 m Sally HemingsTurner is a well-known, prolific and very conservative law professor. But, he is not a historian. Also, the "Report" he co-authored was not peer reviewed or issued by a reputable academic publisher, and I cannot find a copy in any university library west of the Mississippi. It was ideologically driven. No one can know for sure which Jefferson fathered Hemings children, but Turner does a poor job weighing the evidence.

  • 18:3418:34, 20 May 2018 diff hist −7,659 Francisco de MirandaI have removed discussion of Miranda as having been a "crypto-Jew." This appeared to have been based upon fanciful and speculative work of a single Venezuelan writer, José Chocrón Cohen. I could find no discussion of this writer in scholarly journals in the English language (he seems to be an attorney), and no evidence of Miranda being Jewish in any scholarly works on the Jewish diaspora in Latin America. The best recent biography of Miranda

(Poinsett did not study medicine and never trained or worked as a lawyer.) I added the Rippy biography as a reference. The whole article should be edited and corrected using Rippy as a guide.
