Questionable interpretation
The description of Carr's thoughts here is certainly questionable, and seems to be the interpretation of the editor, since the only references are Carr's work itself. I'm not sure if that qualifies as WP:OR, but it doesn't seem to be WP:NPOV - 69.166.21.20 (talk) 19:47, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

How about some basic data on Carr's life?
Why no historical facts about the historian? At least dates of birth and death, and a quick overview of his life. That should be a must. Didn't he say: "“Study the historian before you begin to study the facts. This is, after all, not very abstruse." A few basic facts are in order. They are needed to understand what kind of contribution and what kind of impact Carr had on historiography. --ROO BOOKAROO (talk) 16:51, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

Prof Evans' contribution
The brief mention of Prof Evans contribution to this subject is perhaps too brief and simply states that Evans noted Carr casued a revolution. This is arguably misleadingly brief as it gives the impression that the inflential aspect is the most important. Evans is one of the world's preeminent experts on historiography. In his overview of the subect in Prospect magazine, The Future of History, Oct 19 1997, the leader states "Carr's famous question has been answered by post-modernists who argue that writing history is simply about power, and that all interpretations are equally valid. The post-modernists (and Carr) are wrong". I propose that it is important to state in this article that he though Carr was wrong by perhaps quoting this leader and its source. 37.152.237.108 (talk) 14:24, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
