Where are the references to Fakelore?

Where are the references by this folklorist who is alleged to have capitalized on embellishments in the folklore histories that he gave to promote his writings and presentations for profit? Apparently, there are famous confrontations with the professional historian and folklorist, Richard Dorson, over Stevens proclivity for embellishment... Shouldn't that be in this article?

Stevenmitchell, if you can bring along some references that describe academic opinions of James Stevens's authenticity as a folklorist and also write a bit about this conflict in the Richard Dorson article, so that the two articles cross-link, it might be worth a short paragraph. Otherwise it just sounds like you are grousing on the talk page. To paraphrase Bessie Smith, "You want to see it here, you got to bring it with you when you come." 75.101.104.17 (talk) 19:51, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
