Talk:Betsy Ross flag

Preble
I added a citation requested for Preble, and can probably remove all the other citation requested tags in that paragraph. But I question why Preble is mentioned so prominently in the lede. If there's a reason to keep that there, let me know. Otherwise, once I resolve all the citation tags, I'm going to move it somewhere more appropriate in the article.

 * After reviewing the lede again, I think there is a lot of text that doesn't belong there. If this article is about a flag design, then the ledge shouldn't need to be 3 paragraphs long.  The 2nd and 3rd paragraphs start getting into historical details and arguments that are better left later in the article.  Presenting random facts in the lede like this is more likely to confuse the casual reader.  I'm going to move most of this information to later sections of the article.

Washington
I think you made a good edit on 16 June, but there is documentation that Betsy Ross/Claypool did some work for Washington, and that she was within 3 degrees of separation from him through friends, family, and church. So perhaps not all "lies," as your comment states. More like undocumented speculation that doesn't belong in the article. If anyone thinks it's worth exploring Betsy's affiliation with Washington, that could probably be explored, though I'd suggest it belongs on her article, not the article about the flag design.
