Talk:George William Longenecker

Author's notes

I am making known a conflict of interest: Professor Longenecker is my paternal grandfather.

Notability notes: His name is already on the page for the University of Wisconsin Arboretum Wikipedia page, and the others involved in creating the Arboretum have their own pages. He was as influential, if not more responsible, for the design and creation of the arboretum. His career-long dedication to this public space was recognized by naming the Horticultural Gardens, part of the arboretum, after him. He is written about in both the Arboretum writings, and the Madison newspaper. His name still is known in the local area. He brought forward-thinking ideas about public gardens to life, and his work has influenced other public gardens. And there are dozens of websites and publications referring to and corroborating this information. KLongC (talk) 05:13, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

citations requested

I'd love any input on the request for more citations. If that is because the hope would be others would add more citations, that is fine.

I am also working on other citations that I have available and haven't added yet. I added 3 more today.
