Talk:Abolitionism in the United States

ISBN missing

Next to one book under "References" and three books under "Further reading" has been inserted "ISBN missing." It would have taken little more time to insert the ISBN than to type "ISBN missing," because ISBNs are available at amazon.com and at catalog.loc.gov. I don't think that ISBNs are important, except possibly for book collectors, so I won't take the trouble. I'm just trying to help editors who do think that they're important.Maurice Magnus (talk) 22:15, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

Organization of Bibliography sections

I'm mystified by the structure of the bibliography sections: Sources and Bibliography. The casual reader will look at the Sources section and assume the article has only two sources when of course the references are numerous. I suppose this occurred because of the (limited) use of SfN in the text, which only applies to these two works. My point: is it necessary to separate the two works from the rest of the sources? Why not simply merge them into the larger listing?

My interest here is that I'm working on the new Bibliography of slavery in the United States. The "first draft" of this article is by century, but I'm beginning to organize it by category, in which case, I'll be merging relevant works from the "main" bibliography into Abolitionism's bibliography and then referencing the latter rather than having two bibliographies on the subject. For an example of this approach, see the Bibliography of the American Civil War. Allreet (talk) 15:26, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

Language Update

I noticed that early on in the article the terms "blacks" and "whites" are used, which are a bit racially charged for Wikipedia. Could they be possibly changed to something more neutral, like "black people" and "white people?"

Misleading section title

The wiki section titled "sudden emergence" makes no sense following an explanation in the wiki that abolitionism had already been around for decades. The title gives an incorrect impression. Something like new emergence or re-emergence would be more encyclopedic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.192.208.206 (talk) 13:06, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
