- 21:0721:07, 25 February 2023 diff hist −215 m University of Chicago I have again removed the reference to politician Carol Moseley Braun. I was criticized for doing so earlier because allegedly I was using Wikipedia to "voice [my] political opinions." No. Ms Braun, a Chicago machine politician who has repeatedly faced corruption allegations, is not someone remotely of the same calibre (and integrity) as every other person mentioned in the article. (Except Leopold and Loeb.) If she's a hack, that doesn't mean I'm being "political." Tags: Manual revert Reverted

- 20:1920:19, 24 February 2023 diff hist −215 m University of Chicago Yet again, I have removed references to Carol Moseley Braun. To re-state, the point of the "people" section is to highlight alumni or faculty of note and achievement. Such as Ed Levi or Carl Sagan or Susan Sontag. Not a Chicago machine political who was embroiled in corruption scandals. Tag: Reverted

- 20:0820:08, 19 February 2023 diff hist −198 University of Chicago →People: Once again, I deleted the reference to Carol Moseley Braun, since she is a comparatively minor alum and her political career was peppered with corruption allegations. She should not be included in featured alums alongside people such as Carl Sagan and Kurt Vonnegut. Here is one of many sources: https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2003/02/is-carol-moseley-braun-a-crook.html

Shouldn't be (glowingly) mentioned alongside the likes of Kurt Vonnegut and Carl Sagan. Tag: Reverted

- 21:1021:10, 16 July 2018 diff hist +28 Leonard Stone I changed the description of Stone's military record to make it more clear. If you're a "midshipman," that means you are a cadet in training. He would have then received a commission and gone on to eventually command that minesweeper - as an officer rather than as a "midshipman."
