Authorship

I'm not sure how to actually fix this, but this article is NOT written by President John Quincy Adams. It should not link to his page, and it should not be listed under his Wikisource entry. The article was first published in 1903, over 50 years after Adams' death. It also cannot be a reprint of an earlier work by JQA because it contains several references to events that occurred after his death. Mainly, it references Whistler's "Ten O'Clock", which was a lecture given in 1885.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.243.208.233 (talk) 22:45, 24 March 2019‎ (UTC)

There are several people named John Quincy Adams, including a US President (1767–1848), a Shakespearean scholar (1881–1946), and an Austrian painter (1874–1933). I assume you mean that it was not written by the US President with that name. If you can determine which John Quincy Adams wrote this article, then someone here can fix the issue. --EncycloPetey (talk) 22:56, 24 March 2019 (UTC)

The original source does not say whether it's the scholar or painter or someone else entirely, but it's definitely not the President. He would have been long dead. At the least, it should not be linked on the President's author page. Students will mistakenly use this as a source. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.243.208.233 (talk) 23:31, 2 April 2019‎ (UTC)
