Template:Vital article


Publication date of autobiography isn't 1771

While he started it then, the first edition was published (in French) in 1791. The bibliographic entry for this work should be a specific and accurate version. For instance:

Franklin, Benjamin (2004) [1791], Houston, Alan (ed.), The "autobiography" and other writings on politics, economics, and virtue (PDF), Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, ISBN 9780521834964, retrieved 2016-05-03

Franklin in England

Did Franklin have any legal authority or legal recognition by Parliament while he was in Britain representing Pennsylvania ? Cmguy777 (talk) 01:31, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean his 1757 trip at the behest of the Pennsylvania Assembly or his 1764 trip, sent by the anti-proprietary party? If nothing else, his testimony to the House of Commons on the second trip is well-documented and covered here. - SummerPhDv2.0 07:52, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Excessive list of Activities in Lede

"Franklin was a leading author, printer, political theorist, politician, freemason, postmaster, scientist, inventor, humorist, civic activist, statesman, and diplomat."

He was a leading postmaster?

More importantly, political theorist, politician, civic activist, statesman and diplomat are heavily overlapping with one another. At the moment it seems like a fangirl follower from Frankin's Instagram is the main author of this article. 91.10.32.159 (talk) 01:06, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please read the article. He was indeed a leading postmaster, and all of those other things besides. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:17, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In the death section it should read lie on his side rather than lay

Disagree. Past simple tense: Last night, I lay on my bed and wept. (from: Oxford Dictionaries Blog.) Shearonink (talk) 01:42, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
