It's possible, but we'd have to wait for the story to be picked up in a reliable source. I don't think Gawker is considered reliable, and in any case it's just quoting from someone's personal blog. Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 20:38, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please not that most of the information on the Bachmann page about Marcus Bachmann is self-reported from his own website, with no external verification. That seems to be less reliable than Gawker.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Byron Sunderland, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page First Presbyterian Church (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Theodore Frelinghuysen Dwight, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. Most new articles start out as Stub-Class or Start-Class and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

HI! Someone (I think you?) posted on the Theodore Dwight's page "Senator Henry Cabot Lodge's wife Anna Cabot Mills Davis advised Sally not to marry Dwight after the engagement was announced because of Dwight's reputation as a homosexual." The citation is to a letter from Henry Adams to Elizabeth Cameron. Do you know where you got this info from? Does Adams discuss the advice from Davis to Sally in the letter? Thank you Cathistorian (talk) 21:47, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting question. Thanks! Yes, Dwight and Adams were housemates in Washington, DC, for several years (see article for details). There was little about Dwight he did not know. Dwight's homosexuality was well known in Boston, Henry Adams's hometown (see bibliography items for Austen and Shand-Tucci). It would be impossible for Henry Adams, Anna Lodge, or anyone else in that circle not to know, and if they all knew Dwight was homosexual, why would a warning not to marry him have been for any other reason? Limerick007 (talk) 18:14, 24 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Thank you for your reply! It totally makes sense that the warning was for this reason. My question was more where you got this piece of information from? Was it from the letter between Adams and Cameron? I'm trying to find that letter and having trouble finding it. 66.244.80.182 (talk) 06:16, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Because there's no citation for a letter between Lodge and Loring, so I guess Adams must have mentioned this conversation in his letter? 66.244.80.182 (talk) 06:19, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The conversation between Anna Lodge and Sally Loring is documented in a letter from Henry Adams to Elizabeth Cameron, cited in note 42 in the article.

Thank you! I really appreciate your answer. 66.244.80.182 (talk) 10:51, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
