[edit]You don't need to refer to him as a "quack" and "charlatan". His ideas may have not been accepted by the mainstream archaeological community or not based on actual facts, but there's no need to bring such language into the article. --Revolución talk 00:52, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
A date problem
[edit]There is a contradiction in this article:
"Ignatius Loyola Donnelly (November 3, 1831–January 1, 1901) was a U.S. Congressman ... Donnelly was the son of an Irish immigrant, Philip Carrol Donnelly who had settled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. On June 29, 1826 he married Catherine Gavin, a 2nd generation American of Irish extraction."
This means he married 4 years before he was born.

- The "he" in your second quoted sentence refers to Philip C. Donnelly, Iggy's dad. It could be phrased more clearly, but it's not that hard to understand. Idontcareanymore (talk) 08:46, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
In the lead sentence he is a populist writer but rest of the lead paragraph only itemizes work for which he is known that can only be called popular, not populist. One sentence about the populist is needed. And then the itemization should use the work popular in order to make the cute point. --P64 (talk) 22:09, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
Pseudoscience?
[edit]Although ID's archaeological theories have been shown to be wrong, is it correct to call them pseudoscience? Robert V. Davis Jr., in writing about ID, notes that, "... it provides an example of the difficulty, except in retrospect, of distinguishing science from myth. ... in the latter half of the nineteenth century, reputable scientists could make a case based on acceptable data and methodologies that not only did Atlantis exist, but that it was also a prime candidate for the origin of the First Americans." He calls it dubious -- not pseudo- -- science.(The Search for the First Americans. Science, Power, Politics, 2021, U of Oklahoma Press). 136.36.180.215 (talk) 19:11, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
