Milhist B-class assessment

Nice article, assessed as C-class. Just needs inline citations to bring it up to B-class. Zawed (talk) 10:27, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

Referenced in song: "Captain Whipple" in "The Yankee Privateer".

Needs a link to the mention of him as "Captain Whipple" in the lyrics of the Revolutionary War folksong "The Yankee Privateer". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.225.95.154 (talk) 05:47, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

What does this mean? Some fuller explanation is needed 202.4.29.224 (talk) 07:01, 9 June 2022 (UTC)

Misleading information

The biography for Abraham Whipple starts as follows: "was an American naval officer and slave trader".

The basis for this? A receipt showing he traded one slave early in his life, with no record of him ever doing so again. If I try weed once in my 20s and never use it again, will my epitaph read "pothead"? It should be removed. Thank you. 174.54.35.122 (talk) 02:54, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Slave trading

Should this guy be Category:18th-century American slave traders instead of 19th-century since by 19th c he was in Ohio? It seems like sale mentioned was 1700. LMK what you think Smasongarrison jengod (talk) 19:28, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
