Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Arkansas#Reformation in order

I just put this article up. If any natives and/or Arkansas history buffs want to make improvements, go to it. I didn't go into great detail on the internal Republican party struggles he was involved in. Brianyoumans (talk) 23:57, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

:By the way, it seems like after Harmon Remmel's death the Remmel family continued to control the Arkansas Republican party, right up to the early 1960s. There doesn't seem to be much written about this, however. There's a little on Pratt Remmel, mayor of Little Rock in the early 1950s, but otherwise nothing. It might be a good thesis project for somebody. Brianyoumans (talk) 23:22, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

::Further update, I have added an article on Pratt Remmel. Someone with access to Arkansas sources offline might be able to do an article on his mother Nell Remmel, she seems like a significant figure, she represented Arkansas on the Republican National Committee for decades and was very influential on the state level party as well. The Remmels were really kind of a dynasty that controlled the Republican party in Arkansas for 50 years or so. Brianyoumans (talk) 17:22, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

When the article on the late Governor Simon P. Hughes was first created in 2003, the very first diff said that his middle name had been "Pollard". It was recently [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Simon_Pollard_Hughes_Jr.&diff=1183954197&oldid=1124269252 tagged as 'citation needed']. So far, I haven't found any sources to support "Pollard" which were published earlier than 2003. (Are the sources I've found examples of citogenesis? They could be, and that's enough to be a concern.)

So I figured I'd bring this to the attention of people who might have better access to Deep Historical Sources on Arkansas, such as the ones cited [https://encyclopediaofarkansas.net/entries/simon-pollard-hughes-109/ here]. DS (talk) 17:28, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

: If both the [https://siris-artinventories.si.edu/ipac20/ipac.jsp?uri=full=3100001~!358900!0 Smithsonian Institution] and the [https://encyclopediaofarkansas.net/entries/simon-pollard-hughes-109/ Encyclopedia of Arkansas] are going with Pollard, I wouldn't worry about it.

::Smithsonian: "References: Crawford, Sybil F., 2003." What were Crawford's sources? Citogenesis can show up in the weirdest places; some years back I corresponded with the NIH after one of their sites accidentally recycled some Wikipedia vandalism.

::E of AR: earliest version on archive.org is from 2017. Says "there is no concrete evidence he ever used the name 'Pollard'". I've already corresponded with the E of AR people; they say Rednour died in 2017 and they have no idea where the information came from, as "Pollard" is not in any of the primary sources they've been able to find. E of AR does cite several secondary sources, but I don't know if it's in any of those as I don't have access to them. DS (talk) 15:58, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
