Overview section
editWhy is the overview / summary written in past tense? Book summaries are usually written in present tense and Wikipedia style guide also implies it should be in present. --Caffelatteo (talk) 02:22, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
NCSE criticism
editAnother criticism I'd like to integrate when I have the time - [1] from the National Center for Science Education. WLU (t) (c) (rules - simple rules) 14:00, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
- Unfortunately that's a dead link.
- I think the article needs a more nuanced critical review than the tetchy invective we cite from the Skeptical Inquirer review. (Have we really excerpted the most salient passages?)
- The article should also have an indication of reception among American Indian readers, if possible. An informal survey of engaged Indian readers at the Blue Corn Comics website (which includes commentary) listed Red Earth, White Lies among the four or five "best Indian books" ca. 2002. But the survey is offered with caveats and probably doesn’t count as a RS. — ℜob C. alias ᴀʟᴀʀoʙ 20:56, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
- OK, here's the info for the National Center for Science Education review:
- Brumble, H David (1998). "Vine Deloria Jr, Creationism, and Ethnic Pseudoscience". Reports of the National Center for Science Education. 18 (6): 10–14. Retrieved 12 Oct 2010.
- In skimming the article, I'm struck by the review of reception by prominent Indian and non-Indian intellectuals. Hope this helps. — ℜob C. alias ᴀʟᴀʀoʙ 21:18, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
