Semi-protected edit request on 13 March 2024[edit]

Change reference to Garfield's proof of Pythagorean theorem in top section to hyperlink to main page describing proof. 47.187.113.88 (talk) 01:55, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Done I added the link to the text "notable proof" so that readers can easily access both his proof and the main Pythagorean theorem page. Jamedeus (talk) 02:05, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think we both edited the article at almost the same time (myself without realizing it), so apparently I've adjusted your contribution Jamedeus and then Adavidb adjusted my contribution. lol the end. Shearonink (talk) 02:46, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Carpetbagger is not NPOV[edit]

The carpetbagger page indicates that carpetbagger is a pejorative term. It's use in this article in reference to Hunt then would violate NPOV. Kohl Gill (talk) 11:28, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt if the term has been applied pejoratively in many years. My objection to it would be that it's not accurate in this case. Hunt was born in South Carolina and had lived in Louisiana for nearly 40 years when appointed by Garfield. By the way, consider more descriptive edit summaries. The canned one you used doesn't let people know what is going on. Wehwalt (talk) 12:26, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
