Talk:Presidency of Thomas Jefferson

Why Have There Been 30+ Edits To This Page In The Past Year Alone?
I'm sorry but why have there been 30 plus edits to this page since the start of this year? Has scholarship on his Presidency changed so much in that time that this entire article required an almost complete rewrite (compare March to current revision)? Especially when not a single book used as a source is newer than 2005? Like do you realize how much scholarly and historical knowledge changes in 10 years? The fact that books from the 1980's and decades ago are able to be used as sources and those sources carry more weight than links do is frankly confusing. Do we consider the Encyclopedia Britannica from 1985 as a good source of information? I'm sorry but unless you are making a claim about what specific books says using a book to prop up an old idea at best and at worst a lie or extreme bias because people just see (Pruit pp.7) when they hover over the inline notation should be scandalous on this site.

 * Thanks for your opinion. I'll let the other editors know that a random person on the internet thinks that the article shouldn't be edited anymore. Orser67 (talk) 03:11, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
