Under American Civil War, 'began' is repeated.
"More immediately, enslaved people near Union positions began began escaping in large numbers."

I haven't come across anyone doubting that Tubman's visions/dreams start after the injury. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 23:53, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sure that is factual. But the poor wording implies something other than the actual subject of the article believed - that the visions were a result of the injury. The author is inserted personal opinion over the opinion of Tubman's own interpretation. Personal opinion of this type is unacceptable. 2605:A601:ADB6:A00:7DA3:EF7C:5A9A:8902 (talk) 04:01, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
First, we are not required to represent historical subjects according to their own self-perceptions, and generally we don't. Second, the sentence states a temporal relationship, not a causal one. Finally, the relating of these two things occurs in multiple published biographies of Tubman; the sentence is a representation of those sources, not something that has been inserted as the personal opinion of a Wikipedia editor. --RL0919 (talk) 07:16, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
