The important bad things have no citations/sources, while the trivial uncontroversial points do
[edit]The early large paragraph about Ezra Pounds support for the nazis has zero citations, sources, or examples in the entire paragraph. The only sourced bit is an innocuous part about "attacking" "finance capitalism." RandomEditor6772314 (talk) 14:15, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
- The paragraph you seem to be referring to is in the lead section, which is not required to have citations. Nikkimaria (talk) 14:29, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
- It's quite odd that there's no citations of these bizarre criticisms. For instance, it is stated without evidence that doctors viewed Pound as a narcicist. Which doctors? Upon what basis? Where is the evidence? Or that he was unfit for a trial (for what)?

- Hi OP, as Nikki says, the lead is a summary of the main article body, and as long as the claims are referenced there, the lead doesn't need to do the same. The doctors opinions are explained and cited in the Ezra_Pound#Diagnosis section. Ceoil (talk) 17:54, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
Margaret Cravens
[edit]I'm surprised there is no mention Margaret Cravens in this article. There is an entire book about Pound's relationship with her here: https://www.google.com/books/edition/Ezra_Pound_and_Margaret_Cravens/UDJbAAAAMAAJ?hl=en Best.4meter4 (talk) 11:55, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
