Talk:Elisha Kent Kane

message: Recent edit added links to an Elisha Kane collection, and those links were removed by another. Why?? Seems to me that the link is relevant and good. --Dumarest (talk) 15:38, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If you follow that link, all you get is a statement that the library has .25 (1/4 foot) of Kane materials.  There's no finding aid, no index, no details, so the link's not very useful.  However, the largest collection of Kane materials in the world is held by the American Philosophical Society's library, with a finding aid here that's quite extensive, and we already have a link to it, I see.  So though I didn't delete the other link, I don't think it's an especially useful one. Clevelander96 (talk) 15:51, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Elisha Kane collection

message: Can anyone explain why "ERROR" appears in the person box here after the place of burial?  The information is correct; the infobox seems correctly formatted, and when I attempt to edit the information I don't see the word "ERROR" anywhere -- is this being inserted by some weird wiki script or something?

thread_title:  Errant "ERROR" message 

message: 2 1/2 years ago there were comments of "access to 1,000 Arctic books", and "...the largest collection of Kane materials in the world...". This article is associated with 4 projects and yet with all this the references suck and there is use of a reference considered unreliable. The error was in the coordinates. I added it as a reference and someone can fix it.  Otr500 (talk) 23:02, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Find a Grave reference 

message: I've rewritten this.  The sources disagree over whether Kane and Fox were actually married or not.  I provided a reference link to a blog post out of laziness, but the blog post itself lists numerous sources, which I do not have time for now to look up.
I removed details that are not especially Kane-specific.  For example, the fringe nature of spirit rapping, or which sister was dominant, and the like.  A book biography would digress on these issues.  Here, we provide links.
As it is, the write up I've given is clumsy, because the events happened in a timeline that does not mesh with the simple timeline of his other activities. Choor monster (talk) 14:06, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
