Talk:Cyril Ogston

message: I've done some brief searching and can find almost no sources for Cyril Ogston.  Virtually everything I found through Google was a copy of this article or the three other articles that refer back here (Seven Persons, Alberta, Mormonism and Judaism, Mormonism and Islam).  A search of the vast digital collections at BYU and the University of Uta and Google Books returned no results (except for a handful of Wiki-ripoffs again from Google).  I was beginning to suspect Ogston was actually a wiki-hoax (like the United Latter-day Church of Jesus Christ) until I found him mentioned at the Orson Pratt Brown website, which suggests he is mentioned in:
*"Mormons in Canada and religious travel patterns to the Mormon culture hearth" (Discussion paper series - Department of Geography, Syracuse University ; no. 1) by Klaus D Gurgel. Publisher: Dept. of Geography, Syracuse University; (1975) # ASIN: B0006D0Q5A Amazon.com.
This article lists no sources and it's possible Ogston is mentioned in somebody's doctoral thesis 35 years ago.  Are there any accessible references out there?  As a city founder, is he remembered by local historians or in the city's history?  ——Rich jj (talk) 20:09, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

According to IMDB, he was born 1909 and died 1971, but frustratingly there is no other source for this.

Talk:Doctor Philastus Hurlbut

message: Is this person's given name really "Doctor", or is that a title? If a title, it should not be part of the name. I don't know much about him and the article was a bit ambiguous about his given names. -SESmith 10:46, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: His given name is actually "Doctor" (it had something to do with being the seventh son of a seventh son I believe) - he wasn't really a doctor at all. There are references to support this - I'll have to dig one of them up. However, the title of the article will obviously continue to cause confusion if we move it back to "Doctor Philastus Hurlbut." Perhaps we should move it to "D. Philastus Hurlbut?" Bochica 14:03, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It should probably be moved back to Doctor Philastus Hurlbut and then a footnote added to the name "Doctor" explaining right off the bat that this was his given name. In all references I've seen the full name is used, not "Philastus Hurlbut". Snocrates 09:12, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Edward Dwelly

message: User:Akerbeltz is the Michael Bauer mentioned in the article, a German career linguist who moved over to Scotland a few years ago after latching onto Gaelic and Basque culture which he had no previous connection to. As he is using this article on Wikipedia, to write about himself, this is a clear violation of Wikipedia:Conflict of Interest.
There is also a clear commercial/advertising aspect to this as well, since Bauer ("Akerbeltz"), is currently selling a re-set version of Dwelly's Dictionary in hard-copy.
Thankfully, while this seems to be most of his self-promotion on English wikipedia, he has also written a medium-length vanity piece on himself on the Scottish Gaelic wikipedia, and more or less runs the place by himself according to his personal tastes and prejudices.-MacRùsgail (talk) 15:13, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

message: As written, without qualification or clarification, this cannot be correct. See Talk:First shot memorial#Dubious claim in the article, but in brief as I have written there, "The first shot fired by British forces was at sea by the destroyer Lance (the gun is preserved) on 5 August, seventeen days prior to Edwards. There had also been confrontations between British forces and German forces in colonial African possessions in the weeks prior to the Thomas engagement."

Talk:Moll King (coffee house proprietor)

message: From the hatnote on the page, and the sources it is clear therefore two women named Moll King in this era in London which have been conflated in this article. One a petty criminal who was possibly the basis of Defoe's Moll Flanders, the other wife Tom King and co-proprietor of Tom King's Coffee House. One I propose the article be split to reflect this, and have largely rearranged the content to reflect there two different women of this name.
Elizabeth Adkins is rarely used in the sources, Moll King being how she is normally referred to. As per WP:COMMONNAME, the article should be Moll King. To distinguish the two articles I suggest Moll King (coffee house proprietor) and Moll King (criminal), the current redirect, Moll King becoming a disambiguation page. --John B123 (talk) 20:45, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Eric Pålsson Mullica

message: This isn't a book on New Sweden so I'm distrustful of its accuracy, but "Patriots, Pirates, and Pineys: Sixty Who Shaped New Jersey" has a short blurb on Mullica, but gives rather different dates.  It doesn't mention anything about Mullica's first marriage, and also says he arrived in America in 1638 at the age of 15 - rather than being born in 1636 (the current article), a gap of 13 years.  The book also says he died in 1723 at the age of 100, not "before 1704."  It's clearly talking about the same person, though.  Did scholarship advance a lot when Peterson wrote his book?  Or was Peterson just wrong and lazy and making stuff up? SnowFire (talk) 04:28, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I found the same dates that Peterson gives given in this (archive) book (Alfred M. Heston, 1924, South Jersey: A History, 1664-1924; Heston also has Mullica moving to the Mullica/Little Egg Harbor River in 1645, which Henry Charlton Beck's book on the Mullica River from 1945 repeats). Information close to that in the current article (his family arrived in America in 1654, he died "soon after 1700") is given by Peter S. Craig (1999), 1671 Census of the Delaware, p. 15 (archive) (for this information he cites his own 1693 Census of the Swedes on the Delaware, which I couldn't find online), and in an article here (archive) the same author gives a similar birth date to that in the current article ("c. 1637") and exactly the same death date. If Craig is correct, that seems to indicate that scholarship had advanced but Peterson got his dates from older sources. -- LaetusStudiis (talk) 07:52, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for looking into this!  I would absolutely trust Craig over older sources - Peterson (author of the book above) is not a very good source (he's a private school operator, not a historian), so him using older sources which had different dates would explain things.  I'm kinda curious now how the older sources got things so wrong - record-keeping wasn't THAT bad in colonial times, which is why I boggled at how such a big disconnect could get started to begin with - but so it is.
