Directions for Uncle Tom's Cabin (unverified)
editWas going to put in uncited. However, the Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/YHoshua for User:YHoshua has him citing sources (sic):
Edward Pessen, The Log Cabin Myth (New Haven: Yale UP, 1984); and Lies Across America: What Our Historic Site Get Wrong by James W. Loewen, page 169.
I have not actually read this source, so it would not be fair for me to put the reference. Group29 17:07, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
- I have the "Lies Across America" book here in front of me and it does indeed mention that the original Lincoln Logs came with instructions on how to build Uncle Tom's Cabin. This is stated on page 169. Oh, don't know what format is needed for citations, but the publisher is 'The New Press' and the copyright is 1999. 12.206.222.20 (talk) 23:19, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
Diameter
editthe article says 1/4 inch, which is obvious,y far too small. So I measured a set I happen to have unhand for the grandiose: the diameter is 5/8 inch. But this seems to me to be original research. Maybe originally they were small, but as far back as the 1950s they certainly were larger than 1/4 inch.Wschart (talk) 13:09, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
"Logs of Love"/France
editI am not sure why this section is here, as there is no apparent connection to Lincoln Logs other than "Logs" in the name. I also question its accuracy - if Lincoln Logs were invented in 1916, I do not see how a French product from 1900 came after it. Jnmwiki (talk) 18:32, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
- The Lincoln Logs of Love is clearly a hoax in the schoolboy/Urban Dictionary tradition, as such it should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.101.105.76 (talk) 22:25, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
