Is it worth noting in the article that Faulkner named Vardaman Bundren after James K Vardaman? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.21.92.102 ( talk) 21:56, 4 November 2013 (UTC) reply

Missing citation is incorrect.

Vardaman was known as the "White Chief" - see William F. Holmes's bio "The White Chief: James Kimble Vardaman" (LSU Press, ISBN # 0807109312) circa 1970. Not "Great White Hope." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.176.101.32 ( talk) 07:56, 5 November 2007 (UTC) reply

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on James K. Vardaman. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{ cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{ nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

• Attempted to fix sourcing for http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/biography/flood-vardaman/

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{ Sourcecheck}}).

I think that we should remove the N-word from Vardaman's quotes. However, it appears that my edit of such quotes was recently deleted. What do you guys think? — Preceding unsigned comment added by PoliticallyPassionateGamer ( talk • contribs) 22:14, 9 January 2022 (UTC) reply

I think WP:NOTCENSORED. The word appears in a direct, sourced quote and Wikipedia should not sugarcoat it. Kleuske ( talk) 22:18, 9 January 2022 (UTC) reply

@ PoliticallyPassionateGamer: Just a note, I reversed your edits per WP:NOTCENSORED. Thanks for not reinstating them but rather starting this discussion. For me, the word appears only in direct quotes. They are from the time period the described person lived in – we should not try to change how the past was. Best, Tymon.r Do you have any questions? 22:21, 9 January 2022 (UTC) reply
