replies: text: Hm. Google has more hits on "David", but the "Davis" ones look more authoritative. Encyclopedia Americana has "Davis". I hadn't noticed there was a problem before. I think we should go with "Davis", and make "David" a redirect. -- Infrogmation 17:04, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)

text: I moved the page from "David" to "Davis". Good work on expanding the article, JillandJack!  ...care to help fixing the links to the article to avoid redirects? -- Infrogmation 17:08, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)

message: Despite numerous online sources that say he was born in 1846, his own personal diary, kept during his teenage service in the 60th Massachusetts, contradicts this. His diary entry for November 3, 1864 states "I am 16 years old today" indicating birth in 1848.  It would appear that he added 2 years to his age when he enlisted and 'kept' those years after discharge.
The diary is online at

message: Is there a valid reason that there no mention of Archibald Butt in this article?  Excerpts from Butts' article seem to also indicate that Millet was also no longer married.  Was he divorced?ENumC (talk) 14:30, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

message: points out (diff 898645198) that the homosexuality claims, which they believe to be  (hopefully not intended as a homophobic statement), appear to have been added by the person who wrote the source. Per WP:SELFCITE, part of Wikipedia's conflict of interest guideline, this is "allowed within reason".
The citation has been added in Special:Diff/244685534 by . The editor has been advised about the apparent conflict of interest multiple times, at Special:PermanentLink/867152354#Edits_to_the_article_about_you.

 contests the validity of the information at Special:Diff/897371448, which I have undone because of original research concerns. Removal of the contested sentence has been requested on my talk page, at Special:Diff/898645198.
As I am unable to verify the content of the offline source and the person who added it seems to have had a conflict of interest, I am removing the contested sentence for now. Anyone with access to a reliable source that directly supports the claim may reinstate the material and undo my removal without any objection from my side, and without asking me first. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:44, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

message: The Devil in the White City does not mention Millet or the Titanic. Why is it mentioned in "See also"? 2601:5C2:201:7C90:7CC7:A11:F9D:19B6 (talk) 15:45, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why reference The Devil in the White City? 

message: It is unfortunate that no mention is made in the original Wiki article that Francis Millett was an important artist in Broadway, Worcestershire, England. The village became the venue for an informal artists’ colony, which Millet lead from 1885-9. Millet purchased and renovated two buildings in 1890, Russell House and Abbot’s Grange, which would become his English homes.
Some years after his death his family sent a donation to the local church and a lychgate was erected as a permanent memorial. 2A00:23C4:A282:5201:4D5F:5CA1:3866:366 (talk) 19:00, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
