Talk:A. T. Q. Stewart

'Presbyterian historian'

Judging by the Bibliography in this article, Stewart hasn't written any history of Presbyterianism, so that description will have to go! Scolaire (talk) 17:58, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

You are right, I meant to say that he had a Presbyterian upbringing / background. He may / may not be a Presbyterian now.Red Hurley (talk) 13:05, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

I apologise if my remark seemed flippant, but it had a serious purpose. In theory, there is nothing wrong with saying that somebody is from an x background. But in an article about a writer, especially one as short as this, it might be seen to imply that he writes from a "Presbyterian" point of view, in other words that he is biased. I'd be a little uneasy with that, unless of course it was a fact that he was biased, and that fact could be verified by RS in accordance with BLP. Scolaire (talk) 23:13, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks; it is very short, but I kept on bumping into his name and he is certainly notable.Red Hurley (talk) 13:16, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Grammar

He married the Queen's English lecturer (lecturer on English?) and either he had or they had two children. Not 'have'. Macdonald-ross (talk) 06:11, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
