Add under ‘Antisemitism and the Dearborn Independent’ that, in 1922, as a teetotaler, Ford claimed that “ The Jews are on the side of liquor and always have .” This was another one of his conspiracy theories. Source: https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-anti-semites-who-pushed-prohibition-on-america

Under ‘personal interests,’ add that Henry Ford was “an outspoken teetotaler.” Source: https://books.google.ie/books?id=mcOcdrBWedEC&source=gbs_navlinks_s 212.129.77.50 (talk) 21:03, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit semi-protected}} template. It does not appear that there is consensus to include this. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 13:59, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

His support of the American war effort, however, was problematic.

"His support of the American war effort, however, was problematic." is said completely unsourced and without elaboration. What does this even mean?2601:18C:8081:B9B0:90A3:C5FC:8E71:908C (talk) 10:41, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

Agreed. As a sentence at the end of a short paragraph and not one that summarizes additional content and given it has no source I've removed it. Springee (talk) 01:53, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

Ford family

Article states he was born to a Belgian family but were did his father and grandfather not leave Cork, Ireland? 155.91.73.8 (talk) 14:48, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

Henry Ford Net Worth?

I expected to find a mention of Henry Ford's net worth in this article (both nominal and inflation adjusted). By most estimates, Ford is one of the wealthiest men in history, so it seems an odd fact to omit. Modern wealthy individuals almost invariably have their net worths listed prominently in their info boxes. Why would Henry Ford be any different? Is he from too far back in history? Just a suggestion for anyone able to edit the article. Thank you. 66.91.36.8 (talk) 07:06, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
