Accuracy.

[edit]

This reads like it was written by someone who owed him money, or worked for him. Given that some of it is sourced to the MacFound, that might be kinda true. Qwirkle (talk) 01:23, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Qwirkle: The talk page is not the place for vague WP:IDONTLIKEIT whinging. What do you believe is inaccurate? Toddst1 (talk) 23:24, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
A person who actually read the sources might see "Surviving the Depression, Kriplen writes, was likely due to John MacArthur's penchant for scamming customers, vendors and investigators. He routinely discarded claims ("Heck, if someone really had a claim, he figured he would hear from him again") and misaddressed checks to keep money in the company coffers a bit longer." and wonder why the the article was such a hagiography.

The accuracy template was just removed. Any inaccuracies that existed I believe have been marked with a 'citation needed' and I added clearer cites a few months ago. I do agree some of the language is a bit praise-heavy, but I don't think that merits the accuracy template any longer. --Engineerchange (talk) 13:00, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
