Talk:Charles Redd

failed verification - comment
The arrangement of citations in the first paragraph under "utah state legislature" did not make it clear which information came from where. The Arrington bio, on page 125, states: "He had several definite objectives upon first taking office in 1925: getting legislation that would raise the per capita school fund tax in order to benefit rural school districts; reorganizing the way bounty claims were paid by the state; and getting the state to allocate funds for road construction in San Juan county." (p. 125). There are some close paraphrasing issues--I have tried to quickly reword. Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 21:13, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

Arrington's biography
In checking the sources on the horse-racing paragraph, I found that several sentences and at least one paragraph of Leonard Arrington's chapter on Redd's legislative years were copied from Westergren article. I am, to put it mildly, disappointed. I removed the Arrington references from that paragraph in favor of the Westergren article (which is all the better for verifiability, since Westergren's article is currently available online).

 * There is an explanation in the back of the book! Apparently Westergren wrote this entire chapter, but he is not credited in the chapter itself (??). Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 18:18, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
