Talk:Abraham Flexner

Peer Review
This article looks really good so far! There is definitely an ample amount of useful information incorporated into the article. One suggestion would be to divide the legacy section into his legacy and the legacy of the flexner report. I would also cut down the introduction paragraph a little. Good job!

This article looks amazing. One quick piece of advice would be to add more information about his early life. I would like to know some more about that. other than that it looks great. Good Work !128.220.159.83 (talk) 03:40, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

Influence on Europe
I wanted to change "Bonner (2002)" to "medical historian Thomas Neville Bonner states...." Then I realized the paragraph uses citations from the Bonner 1998 article in the [hyperlinked format] amidst in-text citations for "Bonner 2002"... wanted to clear this up but I don't want to step on any toes. Thanks guys! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sasquatchwithalopecia (talk • contribs) 05:35, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

Restored text
I just restored (diff) some text which was previously deleted (diff). It seems worth a bit more explanation than is suitable as an edit summary:

The phrase noted as the reason for deletion (“ignorant and unfortunate“) is from the next passage, below this one. The two passages address the same matter, but have separate sources. So the first passage is appropriately compared to its own source, not just to a different passage from a different source.

Additionally, these particular passages are about Flexner’s views. Reporting how he communicated them is necessary, and does not imply that his views and/or his choice of words were factually accurate. (Not to mention, ignoring stereotypes doesn’t make them go away – it enables them to thrive unchecked.) 2600:1001:B10C:E5DF:E5B6:C9FC:C9B9:E9D4 (talk) 05:05, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
