[edit] unsourced and original research

I've put an explicit citation of the book in the External Links section, which I've renamed References. I've also flagged about three individual claims in the Controversies section as needing citations:

  • if the incident at Waterloo was "notable," then presumably it's been reported somewhere.
  • if "others have claimed" that Putnam ignored previous studies, have they done so in print?
  • if Putnam has "come in for criticism" re: liberty, have those criticisms been published?

Is there anything else here that warrants the "unsourced" and "original research" flags? The "(par. 13)"-style references are to paragraphs of the article that's linked to in the References section. I'm not sure how they could be improved.

I've removed the Waterloo incident, as it apparently didn't happen. Shimgray | talk | 17:33, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
