replies: text: Worse. Some things are on it more than once, and much of it is clearly cut-&-pasted from the Internet Movie Database's L'Amour listing. It will take a great deal of time. Ted Watson (talk) 21:13, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

message: It is obvious that some of the later books were written by others. A large fraction of "Last of the Breed" for instance was written by someone for whom English was a second language, and from the sentence structure, it was a Russian, not an American and definitely not someone raised in the western U.S., which makes sense in view of the Russian setting and characters. How many other of L'Amour's books were written by ghost writers? His son Beau states that he did some of this, see <http://beaulamour.com/resume.html>. This is something that this article ought to address. Friendly Person (talk) 02:15, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

message: The list of characters in the Sackett Novels needs some 
changes. Nolan is a character in Mojave Crossing. Tyrel and
Flagan are both in Treasure Mountain, although briefly. Logan
 and Parmalee both appear in Galloway. Also, Yance is a major 
character in Warrior's Path.

message: I had edited a place in his early life where he was referred to as "LaMoore," because his parents were referred to as "L'Amour" and I assumed it was a typo.  But under his photo, it says that was his birth name.  I am not sure how to find a reliable source--I just was looking at his page because I was trying to find out about his children.

replies: text: According to the bio on the official website, his father changed his name from "L'Amour" to "LaMoore". It is not clear if this happened before his marriage, but in any case it happened before Louis was born. The family kept this spelling, only Louis changed it back later. I have edited the article following this history. KrimiArchiv (talk) 14:36, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
