Allegations
"Dubofsky uncovered evidence of improper citations in Foner's work, including references to archival material that Foner did not have access to and evidence that Foner had 'destroyed documents at AFL-CIO headquarters.'" I've removed the above line from the article because it lacks corroboration. What does AFL-CIO say? Was it reported to the police. What did the police do? Have the historians who make this claim on an Internet chat list written about it? If so, where is the citation? Skywriter 15:14, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Internet forums?
Accusing a major historical figure of plagiarism is a serious charge and needs more references than an internet discussion group. All references to journals are OK but NOT to online sources. --Gary123 (talk) 14:18, 7 June 2008 (UTC)


 * We're not talking about the Pop-Punk Message Board, we are talking about serious professional allegations made to an H-Net newsgroup, and further published on the web by the History News Network of George Mason University. That said, the charges about destruction of documents at AFL-CIO headquarters lack the specificity necessary for inclusion, in my view. Carrite (talk) 15:43, 31 May 2010 (UTC)


 * I added more discussion from the journal and provided overall perspective on the controversy and criticism.Parkwells (talk) 15:31, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
