Talk:Jehu Eyre

message: As this article has been created multiple times by hoaxsters, making exaggerated claims about Jehu Eyre and other members of the Eyre family, I have tagged it as a possible hoax. Please remove anything which isn't well-sourced (genealogy sites are generally not reliable sources). Rhobite 05:19, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd prefer if someone with more of a background in historical research than I have could look over the article and vet it before the tag is removed. While many of your sources appear to be good, I'm concerned about the use of genealogy sites, and claims which are obviously exaggerated, such as Jehu Eyre's role in the crossing of the Delaware. This article was deleted in July, and it wasn't re-created until now, so there is really no urgency to remove the hoax tag here. Rhobite 05:38, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

text: I would go ahead and see if you could possibly find a better source. We do have some guidelines on what sources are reliable sources, at WP:RS. Go and give that a read over, I am really not qualified to tell if the sources given are good or not, but genealogy sites don't tend to be the best of sources. If you have questions ping me on my talk page again. Cheers! —— Eagle 101 (Need help?) 05:07, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

text: SwedishConqueror, By what I can see you are definatly giving it your best to write a decent article on this guy. The best thing I can think for you to do is to find any extraordinary claims, and makes sure that you have extraordinary sources. That would be a good start. Right now it looks like Rhobite has a few issues with your sourcing, so see if you can find a second or even better third source to back up the claims. Our guidelines on reliable sources indicate that multiple sources can be preferable. Cheers! —— Eagle 101 (Need help?) 06:09, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
