works/bibliography
The list of "works" in the article (Hilaire Belloc) is entirely made up of fairly obscure essays and articles, with the occasional link to a fringe website that hosts copies of them, but the main books are on a separate page, Hilaire Belloc bibliography, which lists only books and no articles. This seems an entirely unhelpful way of presenting the material. I would suggest putting the long list of essays and articles in the "bibliography" and just list a few of the most notable works in the main article. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 19:14, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

anti-evolution efforts
If his anti-evolution writings were his "most effective", that's condemnation rather than praise, since they betrayed his lack of knowledge about science, and didn't really persuade those who knew about science of anything. Martin Gardner has an account in Fads and Fallacies in the Name of Science... AnonMoos (talk) 00:38, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

About his writings
Hillaire Belloe wrote comical Cautionary Tales for Children in verse. His verses rise to mock-serious heights and then provide a simple lesson. This poem describes a tragic incident that occurs as a result of giving a 'dangerous' balloon to George, with an obvious moral: don't give dangerous toys to little children. 1.39.21.11 (talk) 10:37, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
