"Controversial Statements"

If the transcript of his speech shows he never said that, then the blog either lied or was misinformed. I feel as though the heading "Controversial Statements" is inappropriate. If he never said it, it should be "Misattributed Comments" or something, and the section should more forcibily note that he didn't say it, if he didn't.--ZachPruckowski 17:04, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Not only was that last edit taken from a site called OpinionJournal.com, it also contained quotes that were directly refuted by the article listed above it that showed what he actually said.--68.32.66.99 05:42, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

was Julian Bond serious about lightskinned and dark skinnes blacks? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.240.137.234 (talk) 16:07, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Definitely not. It was a skit on a comedy show. (Note also that Julian Bond is light-skinned, Garrett Morris darker-skinned.) Patrickbowman 10:31, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

I have gutted the "Misattributed Comments" section because it contains numerous demonstrably false statements. The Fayetteville Observer newspaper does in fact have an audio recording of Bond's controversial statements. Bond appears to have lied about likening the Republicans to Nazis; either that, or he was engaging in semantic hairsplitting. In any event, saying he lied would probably be too strong a statement for a Wikipedia entry so I simply stuck closely to the facts. I have also taken "Misattributed" from the section title because it is now apparent that that is both factually incorrect and an NPOV violation now that I have myself personally listened to the audio recording that the newspaper now makes available on its website and that all are now able to listen to themselves.

Second marriage

The bio box at the top has Bond's second marriage starting in 1991, but the Personal Life section of the text has it starting in 1990. Not a big discrepancy, maybe, but at least one entry has to be wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.191.208.6 (talk) 08:13, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

Poet and writer

He was also a writer of political and historical-political books as well as being a poet (I read his poetry before I knew anything about his politics). 37.99.83.197 (talk) 11:11, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

What do you think anyone should add to the Wikipedia article to better reflect this? Is there any source you recommend to cite? Blue Rasberry (talk) 19:04, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

Link to archives

I just added a link in the external link section to this person's archives at the University of Virginia.

• Papers of Julian Bond

I wanted to note this here for these reasons:

• I think that Wikipedia articles should link to archives, which I think fit with Wikipedia:External_links#What_can_normally_be_linked
• I work at the University of Virginia, and the archives I linked are at my institution
• I am considering whether I should make a general recommendation if and how libraries should make an effort to connect their archives to Wikipedia

In general Wikipedia has a difficult relationship with organizations promoting their content. Linking of archives is not behavior which has been problematic in the past, and to me, it seems useful, but I thought to note what I did here as an example for discussion.

I am wondering what could go right or wrong if more universities linked archives to Wikipedia, and the extent to which this is useful activity. If anyone has thoughts then share. Blue Rasberry (talk) 19:09, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
