Change of name comment[edit]

Does one really need to explain, publicly or otherwise, why one might want to change one's name from Horenstein???? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.87.248.162 (talk) 01:20, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Styling of titles of works[edit]

His works are listed with capitalization patterns more European than American. Is this his preference, how he refered to his works? 75.252.26.1 (talk) 00:51, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I’m surprised no one has commented on this since 2011. The capitalization is very irregular. It is the sentence-style capitalization specified by APA guidelines specifically for use references, but not in the main body of the work. This doesn’t seem to me to be appropriate for a list of works contained in the main body of the article. I’m going to make the formatting of his works a chore of mine, unless anyone speaks up to protest this. Neighborhood Nationalist (talk) 01:40, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Was being Jewish part of the subject's notability?[edit]

If not, I would remove ethnicity from the lede per MOS. --Malerooster (talk) 21:54, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I see the obvious connection, but was wondering if it rose to the level worthy of inclusion in the lede sentence. Thank you, --Malerooster (talk) 21:59, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well, he wrote an award winning book, "World of Our Fathers", about the experiences of Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe in New York City in the early 20th Century. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.54.132.58 (talk) 04:41, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Howe wrote several books about the experience of American and immigrant Jews, an example of which is his edited work, Jewish American Stories, so indeed his ethnicity has played a role in his notability. Neighborhood Nationalist (talk) 01:30, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Princeton?[edit]

Howe's son was born in Princeton. That implies that Howe lived and worked there, but there's nothing the article about that; in fact his academic career seems to get short shrift. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.54.132.58 (talk) 04:43, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
