Talk:Edward Fitzgerald Beale

Untitled

DO NOT ADD INCORRECT INFORMATION! Beale Street in Memphis, Tennessee was NOT named after EF Beale. EF Beale graduated from Naval School in 1842. Beale Street in Memphis was named "Beale Avenue" in 1841. Therefore, it is not named after him, because he was not notable enough at the time to get a street named after him! So please do not add a link to Beale Street in Memphis back to this article, it is incorrect information! Otto42 13:58, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Beale a humanitarian?

This article resembles a panegyric; I was almost compelled to laugh out loud when I encountered this sentence:

"Beale helped charter a humanitarian policy towards Native Americans in the 1850s."

This statement should have some support, because the situation of Native Americans in California was incredibly bad, with natives literally hunted down like animals and bounties offered for their killing. This fact, along with Beale acquiring huge lands, makes it seem very unlikely that he was anything approaching a 'humanitarian.' —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.102.64.209 (talk) 04:12, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Decatur House National Trust Link

Hi all- the National Trust link in the Decatur House section of the article goes to the National Trust of England, not the US-based "National Trust for Historic Preservation". The National Trust of England doesn't tend to hold crucial US territorial

In addition, on the US-based National Trust for Historic Preservation wikipedia page, it clearly references its co-stewardship of Decatur House. I'm not a confident enough editor to muck around with links on otherwise well-built pages, but it should link to this instead: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Trust_for_Historic_Preservation — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dsbinla (talk • contribs) 18:34, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

I think it's fixed now. Thanks Glendoremus (talk) 20:25, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

Who is "Ned"?

"Ned was a student at Georgetown University when, at the solicitation of his widowed mother, President Andrew Jackson appointed him to the Philadelphia Naval School."

Who is "Ned"? Nowhere else in the article is Beale referred to as Ned.

Furthermore, this sentence has no citation. 204.130.0.8 (talk) 18:03, 1 October 2025 (UTC)
