Professr Jensen, here is what an archivist at Harry Truman library said:
Greetings from the Truman Library,
Thank you for your recent email. With regards to the Truman quote, I ran that quote through Google Translate, and then did a search of Mr. Truman's letters. I believe the letter that the Spanish Wikipedia page is quoting can be found here: https://catalog.archives.gov/id/51458800. While it's not entirely accurate, it's not far off the mark, if Google Translate can be trusted. If you go to that page, and then click on the blue "view/add contributions" button on the lower right right, and then click on the link that says "transcribe" you can read the transcript of the letter, if you don't want to decipher Mr. Truman's handwriting.
I hope this information is helpful to you. If there is anything else I can do for you, please let me know.
Sincerely,
Tammy K. Williams

Please do not restore unsourced content, as you did at Double Jeopardy (1999 film). Who, exactly, "noted that Jones portrayed a watered-down version of his character from The Fugitive?" This is weasel wording and is forbidden by Wikipedia policy. Also, "mixed reviews" is completely unsourced. It's just your interpretation of a Rotten Tomatoes score. Someone else might say that it's negative. I've challenged your edit, so now you need to properly source it. You can't just add your own opinions to Wikipedia articles.

I would appreciate if you could take a look at the recent changes to the lead of the United States of America article as you are a reputable historian and political scientist. There was no major consensus for the changes made on the USA talk page, and the edit to me seems to be politically-charged and violates NPOV. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Urgyst390Hdf (talk • contribs) 20:24, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
How exactly is the briefest possible summary of the ideology which was crucial in the presidential campaign an "opinion of an editor"? Do you even know what opinions are? Thurmond ran in the election on an overtly White supremacist and segregationist platform, his party's entire purpose was pursuing racist policies and preventing desegregation in the US. That is not anyone's opinion, but a blatant historical fact, which is highly relevant for his biographic article. Omitting in intentionally might be a matter of opinion, rather than my edit which is simply calling a spade a spade. Sideshow Bob 14:10, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
I don't want to stop you from your edits. Now that I know you're working on the article, I can just work a section at a time... or stop entirely for the night. Right now I'm just picking away at things that jump out at me.–CaroleHenson (talk) 06:54, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi - I noted your interest in the above. The claim is sourced here, Hearst Castle. I’ve been working on this for a while with a view to FA but, beyond Wehwalt who’s been exceptionally helpful, I’ve struggled to drum up much American interest. I’ve now closed the peer review but am planning to FAC it shortly. I’d be very interested in your input then if the article sparks your interest. All the best. KJP1 (talk) 19:35, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
The editor who added the content did not provide any, but the content is no "different from the rest or Christianity". And , "again, no edit summary so I have no clue."

Hi Rjensen, I saw you claim Jeff Greenfield is an expert political historian. Is that a subjective judgment? I am unable to source the claim made to anywhere else. His educational background seems to be as a lawyer, not as a historian. His Wikipedia biography states he is a television journalist and author, but not a historian. What kind of credentials as a historian does he hold? Zloyvolsheb (talk) 22:22, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

Dear Professor Jensen. I have recently tried to make the article Robert Stewart, Viscount Castlereagh more verifiable by looking up sources and trying to find out exactly which citation supports what, and where each source can be found. You are one of the major contributors to this article. In particular you added the quotation at the end of the text that says "There probably never was a statesman whose ideas were so right ..." and added the corresponding citation: <ref>Charles Webster, ''The Foreign Policy of Castlereagh'' (1931) P 231</ref>. I have looked up several editions of this work in Google Books and Internet Archive and cannot find the quoted passage. Perhaps you care and can help. With many thanks, Johannes Schade (talk) 15:39, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
Could I ask you to please have a look at the history of Education in the United States (here) – I'm not quite sure that you actually investigated what the "major change" was there. A brand-new editor (part of a group of students) added a huge change involving quite a lot of original research and POV content to the article in one single edit which involved multiple sections; I removed most of it, section by section and explaining in each case exactly what the issue was, and you then reverted my entire removal in one single edit with the ES "take major changes to talk pages. Experts are unanimous that 2020 marks a major event in education". Well, the main issue was that the student editor didn't bother taking the change to the talk page (it is extremely unfortunate that that entire goup of students apparently were told to make very major changes to articles in one single edit, without any attempt at discussing them with the editing community first) – and I'm not sure you actually read through the changes. I did, and now it contains information about covid-19 in sections where it has almost no relevance, various references to "this year", crystal balling about what various schools might be doing in future, and a "history" section about a couple of months in 2020 which is about twice as long as the 19th and 20th century sections together. Among other things. But don't worry, I'll stay far away from that article now (and no response is required to this message). I simply wanted to give you a heads-up in case you hadn't checked the edit history. --bonadea contributions talk 18:25, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
My apologies, I somehow missed you while doing notifications. I started a question at the NPOV noticeboard a few days ago about naming for indigenous participants in the war. At the time I hadn’t yet noticed all the activity in the RFC sections, and only knew I was all alone in the edit history. I started one tonight about TFD’s fringe theory contentions. I didn’t see you in that thread but apparently the article has a long history I haven’t fully processed.
On the honour and second war of independence issue, I scanned your list and offhand they seem like very fine sources; I just do not want to validate the jingoism, is all. Feel free to do want you think should be done and we can discuss any issues that arise. Elinruby (talk) 09:40, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi, Rjensen,
The presence of Template:Talk archive at the top of this page, may be why no section edit links are displayed, for editing the individual sections on this page. (Other causes are possible, but that's the most likely.) Unless you placed that there in order to remove section edit links, since this is not, in fact, a Talk page archive, would you mind removing that template? It makes it much harder to add a new discussion at the bottom of the page, or for others to respond to an individual discussion without editing the entire page, and also makes edit conflicts more likely. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 03:31, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
Can you please comment at Draft talk:Liberation of France#Organizational structure feedback?
It's kind of amazing that with 6M+ articles in en-wiki, there isn't one for the Liberation of France. There are bits and pieces of the story littered all over, but no dedicated article. So, I've created Draft:Liberation of France. It's a full article skeleton, with top and bottom matter, and a complete set of body sections with ((Main)) and ((Further)) links, even images; but no body content (other than Lorem Ipsum to hold the images).
By the choice of section and subsection headers, I've implied a sense of what should be included, at what level, and how the narrative should be organized; by what's not there, I may have unduly implied lack of importance. I'd like feedback on the Draft organizational structure, and I've opened Draft talk:Liberation of France#Organizational structure feedback on the talk page to encourage it. If you can add your thoughts to that discussion it would be greatly appreciated.
P.S., it's a wiki, so if you'd rather just change the Draft structure itself, rather than talk about it on the Talk page, by all means do so. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 03:44, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
I don't know if you've wondered why your Talk page had no section edit links next to each header for the longest time, like it used to before. Well, here's why: back on Jan. 6 in this edit, you moved a bunch of stuff to Archive_31. Unfortunately, you also added template ((Talk archive)), but at the top of this page. This caused your section links to disappear, because it marked this page as an archive, that's "not supposed to be edited". I presume that's not what you intended, so I've taken the liberty of removing that template, which should bring your section links back again. If that's not what you want, just revert this edit. Thanks! Mathglot (talk) 11:34, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
Once again, you'd think with 6,847,672 articles, everything worth doing has been done. I'm finding more and more, that this is far from true. Some really basic, important historical articles do not exist on en-wiki, which is kind of amazing. Anyway, I've started Draft:War guilt question, and I invite your participation, if you wish.
This is a Featured article on *both* fr-wiki, and de-wiki, and I'm gobsmacked we don't have it. For the time being, I'm working off the French article, since my French is way better than my German, so it goes much faster that way. One downside, is that the French article, at least at some point in the past, was a translation of the German one, and it would be better to go back to the original. I may go back and proofread it against the German at some point.
It turns out, there are *tons* of important articles in history that we don't have. Luckily, there's a great tool at wmflabs, and I wonder if you're familiar with it: it's called, "not-in-other-language", and it lets you look up articles that, say, fr-wiki has that we don't, in various ways: by category tree, by first word(s) of the title, or by featured article status. For example, here are the top 100 Featured Articles on fr-wiki that are not on en-wiki. Check out #77, which is how I ended up creating this Draft, because I just couldn't believe it.
Here are the top 100 Featured Articles on de-wiki not on en-wiki; #4 is the Afghan Civil War, not my top area of interest, but kind of amazing we don't have it. Mathglot (talk) 11:58, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
Hi – this is to let you know that I removed the exception for "visitors" that you added to the article on the Reconstruction Era. In case you meant the narrow exceptions relating to children of ministers, ambassadors and occupying forces, I think these should be made explicit. There is no general exception from birthright citizenship for "visitors". Joriki (talk) 17:42, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
"The American frontier (also known as The Wild West or The Old West) includes the geography, history, folklore, and cultural expression of life in the forward wave of American expansion that began with English colonial settlements in the early 17th century and ended with the admission of the last remaining western territories as states in 1912." The huge problem with the last sentence is that it indicated that Hawaii and Alaska were never western territories in the first place even though they were based according to geography. It also made no difference since the sentence talked about territorial acquisitions not the stories and myths of the Wild West Era that ended around 1924 (according to the main article's box description. May I suggest you revise this statement? Thanks. XXzoonamiXX (talk) 05:12, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

I am about to remove the sentence "In Britain, the Long Depression resulted in bankruptcies, escalating unemployment, a halt in public works, and a major slump of trade that lasted until 1897." under Europe / Britain in Panic of 1873. Reason: the citation does not substantiate it – Colony or Nation? Economic Crises in New Zealand from the 1860 to the 1960s by W. B. Sutch, ed. M. Turnbull. I have the book in hand, and the section "The Long Depression, 1865–1895" talks about the New Zealand economy, not the British economy.
I am letting you know as it was you who added the sentence (in April 2010) and the citation (in November 2010).

The British were never "defeated" at the Siege of Boston. There were no battles; the total number of casualties that occurred after the Americans brought in the guns from Ticonderoga were a handful. Your statement that the British were "defeated" at the Siege of Boston doesn't even conform to the evaluation of the Siege in the Wikipedia article on that subject!
Even in Boston itself the annual celebration of the raising of the Siege of Boston is not called "Victory Day": it's called "Evacuation Day". When the British made the strategic choice to "evacuate" Boston they had that city entirely in their power, and Washington fully expected that they would burn the city before they left - there would have been absolutely nothing he and his army could have done to prevent them from doing so. So I don't see how anyone of sound mind can call this a "defeat" of the British! Sieges are an expensive military operation that often cause more casualties to the besiegers than to the besieged. Even though the American artillery on Dorchester Heights was unable to sink a single British ship in Boston Harbor, the British commanders decided that it would be far wiser to move to the pro-British city of New York and wide-open New York Harbor where their ships could maneuver much easier than in the treacherous island-and-shoal-ridden Boston Harbor. By doing so they effectively cut much more radical New England off from the rest of the rebellious colonies. By moving their naval operations north to Nova Scotia they could allow the sailors to disembark in a non-hostile area for training and relaxation while at the same time reducing the length and increasing the security of their supply lines. It was a wise strategic retreat and nothing more.
It is said in another message here that you are a "professor of history". I don't suppose you are a professor of *military* history.

I think there's a tendency for editors to change content within the silos defined by an article's existing section hierarchy, as established by other editors who came before them, without thinking sufficiently about the big picture and challenging the overall structure of an article. A bad overall design can become set in stone and be resistant to efforts to rethink it and hobble efforts at future improvement, especially at a volunteer project, because it's easier to just not try to rethink the big stuff. One way to think outside of this box, is to look at how it's done in homologous articles on other Wikipedias.
Although WP is not a reliable source, nevertheless I think we can discover ways to improve our articles, especially longer ones with a complex section hierarchy, by looking how they do it on other Wikipedias. Recently, I've had occasion to look at how fr-wiki organizes their article fr:Révolution française which is quite different than our French Revolution article. As a historian, you probably read or get by in a few languages, but that may not be the case for the regular crew of editors at French Revolution. So for their benefit, as well as my own, I created a translation, not of the whole French article (too much work) but just of the section header structure (that goes very rapidly) and the lead. Comparing their section structure to ours is illuminating, and my translated sandbox version of their section structure allows anyone to do so. The sandbox is here, and I wrote an intro to it at the F.R. talk page, at Talk:French Revolution#A comparative study: How French Wikipedia structures their article.
You're not really the target of that sort of exercise, but I thought you might be interested in the technique itself of comparing articles via translated section hierarchies. You might be interested to see how it looks in practice, and if you wanted the technique for creating your own sometime, it's easy to do. Mathglot (talk) 08:05, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi Richard, I've spun off the earlier additions I made to Propaganda in World War I and expanded it into its own article: Color book. It's a fascinating, and new (to me) topic, which I learned a lot about while doing it. It could probably be expanded further, but I feel it stands on its own two legs, now, and I still have the much-delayed Draft:Liberation of France, and Draft:War guilt question that I need to get back to. Please have a look, and see what you think. Cheers, Mathglot (talk) 10:59, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi, just wanted to comment on your curious edit summary at Treaty of Darin for your change from ‘United Kingdom’ to ‘Britain’. I’m happy to leave it as ‘Britain’, but you might want to take a look at our United Kingdom article and particularly the Etymology and terminology section. The correct and normal name is “United Kingdom” and “Britain” is a less formal but still appropriate name. It’s never wrong to use “United Kingdom”. However, “Great Britain” is a geographical expression applying to the largest island in the British Isles and not the name of the country. It was the name of a country until 1801 but ceased then when the union between Great Britain and Ireland happened. “Great Britain” continued to sometimes be used as the name of the whole country until well into the 20th century - as was “England” (Pars pro toto) but both are now very much deprecated. The usage continues in the U.S. it seems. But the main point is “United Kingdom” is never wrong and shouldn’t be really be changed. DeCausa (talk) 08:58, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello,
I wish to propose a contribution to the Wikipedia article Africa-Soviet Union relations.
Scrolling down to South Africa I see "as part of the long running South African Border War (1966-1990) the Soviets supplied and trained combat units from Namibia (SWAPO) and Angola (MPLA) at the ANC military training camps in Tanzania."
My proposed contribution:
I have in my possession a Soviet issued identity booklet/document proving at least one person (Charles Bvuma) was trained to command an infantry battalion at the Odessa Combined Military School June 1979 and signed by a Major-General of the Soviet GRU. I obtained this document perhaps 40 years ago from a person who was an arms dealer to South Africa.
So my suggested contribution would be something like "trained at the ANC military training camps in Tanzania and the Soviet Union."
Do you have an email address I can sent photos to? I cannot seem to send photos as I am familiar with on regular email.

A question based on Google Books Ngrams has been raised at Talk:Overland Campaign#Wilderness campaign? which is right in your wheelhouse.

Hello Rjensen. Since you used to be an active contributor in the War of 1812 article, I was wondering if you could lend us your input on some issues that have recently surfaced, that being over the British support and supply for the Indians in the North West and lower Canada region prior to the War of 1812. Currently there is a contention that the British did not help the Indians in the years leading up to the war until after the Battle of Tippecanoe, even though their support began immediately following the Revolution. Any insights you can offer would be appreciated. Hope all is well. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 19:53, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi Rjensen, I don't know if you've ever looked at the Maurice Duplessis article, but the references etc. are a mess! There's a "Bibliography" section, with each text then cited to footnotes; there's another "Sources" section, which duplicates some of the texts in the "Bibliography"; and there's a second set of footnotes, under "References". It appears that the Bibliography was copied from the French wikipedia article on Duplessis, but not combined with the "Sources" section. I'm prepared to tidy it up, but before I start, would appreciate your thoughts. My inclination is to combine the "Bibliography" and the "Sources" into one "Further reading" category; eliminate the footnotes for the works in the current "Bibliography" (but including any material from them that is not already in the "Bibliography"); and eliminate any works from the new "Further reading" section which are cited in the "References" section. Could you look at it and see if you would agree with that approach? Thanks! Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 16:00, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
Hello, I'm Pipsally. I noticed that you recently removed content from History of the Balkans without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Hello :) I am writing my MA dissertation on Wikipedia Wars and the Israel-Palestine conflict, and I noticed that you have contributed to those pages. My dissertation will look at the process of collaborative knowledge production on the Israel-Palestine conflict, and the effect it has on bias in the articles. This will involve understanding the profiles and motivations of editors, contention/controversy and dispute resolution in the talk pages, and bias in the final article.
For more information, you can check out my meta-wiki research page or my user page, where I will be posting my findings when I am done.
I would greatly appreciate if you could take 5 minutes to fill out this quick survey before 8 August 2021.
You have been invited to take part because you are one of the top-ten contributors (according to https://xtools.wmflabs.org/articleinfo) to one or more of the articles in my corpus - History of Zionism, 1936 - 1939 Arab Revolt, and Israel-United States Relations. This may be a surprise to you - perhaps you do not actively edit these articles, or perhaps your main contributions were grammatical or minor. If you believe you have been invited to fill out this survey in error, my apologies and feel free to ignore this.
Participation in this survey is entirely voluntary and anonymous. There are no foreseeable risks nor benefits to you associated with this project.
Thanks so much,

Hi Rjensen,
Hope all is well. I see that you removed all of the changes that I made yesterday on the Wikipedia page for the Committee for Economic Development. I am the organization's Communications Manager, and I have been tasked by our management team at CED to update the page with current information, new research, updated focus areas, and changes to our bi-annual policy conferences and awards celebration. All of the changes I made in the two versions from yesterday (12.1.21) were vetted by the CED team before posting.
Can we please restore the version I changed, so the organization's information is as up-to-date and accurate as possible? We realize our team has not updated this page in many years; this is our major overhaul to ensure everything matches with our current content and branding.

Hello, apologies for turning this into a message, but I’m incompetent and don’t know how to use talk pages well, so I don’t think it’s likely you’d see the message I intended as a reply to you without me messaging you directly.
I recently made an edit removing an unsourced section from the intro to the Middle class. You undid the edit, saying in the talk page “the lead does not require any cites.” However, I had read in MOS:LEAD that lead paragraphs should “contain no more than four well-composed paragraphs and be carefully sourced as appropriate.” (Emphasis mine.) Since you’re clearly a more experienced editor than me, I was wondering if you could explain the motivation behind undoing my edit in more detail.

Thank you for your relentless addition of varied and reliable sourcing to the entire range of history-related articles on Wikipedia, for your bringing a professional historiographer's mind to the assistance of a legion of lay historians, and for your Historian's Guide to Statistics: Quantitative Analysis and Historical Research, a tome published 50 years ago, a copy of which I purchased 25 years before Wikipedia was a twinkle in anybody's eye, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

An unknown person added Cameroon very recently, which has been absent from this article for years. Cameroon is not on the UN list for subregion West Africa. That person didn't change 16 to 17, and added the line you just restored, among others. They also didn't change the statistics such as land area, highest mountain, etc., etc. The article is basically about the UN subregion. Cameroon doesn't consider itself part of West Africa.

During the last year, you have made suggestions to improve the Wikipedia entry on Thomas Nast. Accordingly, I want to call your attention to ThomasNast.com, a domain I have owned for 25 years and recently refreshed.
The site will give you a good overview of Nast in general and my biography in particular, America’s Most Influential Journalist: The Life, Times and Legacy of Thomas Nast. You can look at 160 Nast cartoons, each with its characters identified and its content and context explained. Categories include Christmas, Civil War, Lincoln, Tweed, Presidential Election Losers, Symbols, Shakespeare, and Inflation. The site’s purpose is to educate people about Nast and his work, as well as to preview my book.
The only previous substantive biography of Nast was published by Albert Bigelow Paine in 1902, and is frequently cited in Wikipedia. Although Paine was a good storyteller, his book has many significant errors and omissions because Nast misinformed him (eg., Nast never went to the front during the Civil War) or didn’t tell him about important events (Nast spent a year, beginning in May 1867, on his Grand Caricaturama (33 9 by 12 foot pictures in a traveling panorama which failed), Paine gave it two sentences).
There were also facts about his life that neither he nor Paine knew. Eg., Nast thought he was born on September 27, 1840, but his Landau birth certificate, issued under the auspices of the King of Bavaria, shows it was September 26. Understandable, every prior mention of his birth date is incorrect. I have made the correction to his Wikipedia entry along with a a copy of his birth certificate.
My 830-page biography contains 1,000 Nast cartoons, illustrations, sketches and paintings — 800 from Harper’s Weekly and 200 from other sources. The manually-created Index is predicated solely on Nast’s output. It includes Nast’s Life and Work; Topics/Issues and People/Characters. You can view the entire Index on ThomasNast.com.

You added a considerable amount of material to the article on West Germany on 13 September 2019.

I just wanted to offer a passing note of appreciation for how you present yourself in Wikipedia. I was just reviewing a bit of your commentary, and figured I would finally take a look at your talk page. What a joy! It's fun that you put your personality on the page, and you even have an article! It was great to get a sense of who you are and what you offer. And it puts into perspective what a unique experience you have had on Wikipedia, even those times where I've seen how your comments on articles have been addressed. It also led me to your Wikimedia 2012 video, and I enjoyed its mix of investigation into Wikipedia as well as a fascinating discussion of the legacy of the War of 1812.

Hi, Could you please pause in removing external links to the White House biographies in the articles about US Presidents? Could we discuss it first? Your edit summary on most of them says, trim--short, superficial and not prepared by White House). The WH bios used to be identified as written by Hugh Sidey; apparently, they've been updated. They are now labeled, "courtesy of the White House Historical Association." I strongly feel that it's important to link each of our presidential bios to their official White House biography. Indeed, they're short and superficial--exactly correct for the purpose they serve of presenting biographical facts about each of our presidents. It just makes sense to point our readers to the official biographies put out by the part of the US government that represents and curates the White House. Thanks for your consideration.

I tend towards taking out too much, so I expected someone to put stuff back in.
Either way though, I do feel like what's currently there is over brimming. Some of the history stuff just doesn't belong there. I may split it into two sections.
I still plan to take some stuff out, but I'll be much more conservative. If I take out anything you deem important, feel free to reput it back in, or talk to me on my talk page about it.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated))

Hi there, I noticed in the History of the Catholic Church in the United States history that you recently reinstated a section of the article titled "American Revolution" (And parts of the recently created "New Nation" subsection). Unfortunately, this section has been copied word-for-word from this blog, which predates the original edit by over a month. Unfortunately it means that the sections outlined above have been removed. I decided to not utilize the normal copyright template as I'm sure you are aware of the most rules on Wikipedia and most likely didn't realize the original edit was stolen. Hate to be the bearer of bad news :( Frost.xyz | (talk) 10:04, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi. Did you add David Sehat's quote to the FF article? I was about to remove it for being non-standard, not exactly encyclopedic, but looked at the edit history and it appears to have been posted by you as opposed to a new or random editor. If so, what's the rationale in WP terms for using such a long, completely standalone quote? See the article's Talk section for more. Thanks. Allreet (talk) 17:04, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
Howdy. We don't link to the "Presidency of..." pages, for the other US presidents years of service. Why are you singling out Jackson? Will bring this up at Joe Biden's page, for more input. GoodDay (talk) 22:19, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
I am a little concerned about the reversions you did to an edit by me about the University of Florida Green New Deal and to another contributors' part about a GND at American University. They were removed under the justification they were too local, which I agree in terms of Wikipedia's structuring rules, but in that case couldn't a new section be created for university and local efforts? Additionally, the Boston GND (which has its own separate article) was left on the Green New Deal article but is also local. I do not personally agree with the removal of either the AU one or UF one if it remains notable enough to not be removed. In the case of the UF one, it had coverage by the Guardian US and the Hill, both well-recognized sources. I respect your contributions to the Wikipedia community but as a younger Wikipedian, more explanations or details on how I could write about what happened at AU and UF would be appreciated.

Why are you edit warring over two issues to get in your preferred version in Manifest Destiny? Issue #1: [14], [15]. Issue #2: [16], [17]. Why not follow WP:BRD and gain consensus? --David Tornheim (talk) 08:21, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
Hello, @Rjensen. I urge you to leave the sourcing in the Bibliography/Sources section of the article alone and do not move them down. These are here to help translate to the sfns that I had inserted into the article. After my edit on March 8th, it looks like you moved a lot of sourcing down to the further reading section. Those cite books, cite journals, and cite magazines should stay where they are for further educational benefit for the future readers so they aren't spending half their time finding sourcing in the further reading section. Thank you, Thecowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 13:58, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

You have recently made edits related to pseudoscience and fringe science. This is a standard message to inform you that pseudoscience and fringe science is a designated contentious topic. This message does not imply that there are any issues with your editing. Contentious topics are the successor to the former discretionary sanctions system, which you may be aware of. For more information about the contentious topics system, please see Wikipedia:Contentious topics. For a summary of difference between the former and new system, see WP:CTVSDS. ––FormalDude (talk) 10:54, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi, would you be interested in working on this draft with me? I was going to base it off of the Oxford handbook of economic imperialism but I'm not familiar with the literature enough.
