Thoreau as child

"Henry David Thoreau, who wrote as if from the perspective of a child," - seems a very strange thing to write. What in all of Thoreau is written anything like "from the perspective of a child"? He seems to me one of the least child-like writers I can think of. Because of his simplicity of lifestyle and fondness for saying "No"?! 122.106.31.40 (talk) 14:42, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

External links

The "External links" needs to be examined for trimming. Thirteen links are likely to include link farming. Providing additional information is not a bad thing we still need to comply with ELPOINTS #3, links to avoid, and EL official, with a goal of minimizing the number of links.

I think Curlie is unnecessary - do we link there that much ? Not sure if isfdb and sfadb add much. -- Beardo (talk) 23:31, 24 February 2021 (UTC).

Kurt Vonnegut

Concerning the "genetic disposition for paranoid schizophrenia" information. More research is necessary. High probability that it was due to Nazi experimenting whilst captured. The death camp architects were experimenting with eugenics (certain archaic psychiatric methods & medications still in use today) & so called "anti-psychotics". The documentary Age Of Fear "Psychiatry's Reign Of Terror" has alot of good information & points to historical documents & current research regarding this topic. 2603:7080:73F:D9AB:1CDA:E5D4:30D3:9538 (talk) 06:10, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia explicitly does not host original research. If there's no reliable sources to support such a theory, it shouldn't be included in the article. Beeblebrox (talk) 08:10, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
