Biographical orientation

Person notes should explain more than who someone was. Treat each as a junction among biography, ideas, historical role, primary writings, institutions and events, reception, criticism, and rival interpretations.

What a Strong Person Note Contains

Life and chronology: formative experiences, turning points, offices, affiliations, and historical setting.
Core ideas: the person’s strongest claims in their own terms.
Historical role: decisions, institutions, movements, conflicts, and measurable consequences.
Primary sources: books, speeches, letters, interviews, laws, or archival material.
Reception: influence on allies, followers, opponents, and later traditions.
Criticism and disputes: strongest objections, factual controversies, and interpretive disagreements.
Network links: related people, countries, movements, events, concepts, and source notes.

Attribution discipline

Separate a person’s verified words from paraphrase; private belief from public strategy; direct responsibility from influence; contemporary evidence from later memory; and biography from moral verdict.

Source-use rule

A media appearance is evidence of what a speaker argued in that appearance. It is not by itself evidence that the historical or empirical claim is true; route the claim to topic notes and primary or scholarly sources.

Religious and Political Influence

Father Charles Coughlin — religion, radio, populism, and antisemitism.
Thomas Aquinas — theology, philosophy, natural law, and later reception.
Ayatollah Khomeini — Shi’a political theology, revolution, and state formation.
