message: I think it seeming that differentiation be made in information and links between the Wold-Newton family provided by Philip Jose Farmer and that of others: fans and licensed authors alike.  It is important that such an approach secure what is of Farmer's work and what is artificed by others.  As pretenders to a familial line, these latterday revisions and substantiators of claimants needn't be scorned but should at least be noted as pretenders. 71.13.148.189 (talk) 03:10, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I realize I possibly am opening a discussion of the subject rather than the article, but I do so only in the hope that the response will be incorporated to the article itself. 
The question that begs to be asked relates to the list of characters that Farmer allegedly included in the "Family", as given in the section, "Members". This list includes Solomon Kane, Peter Blood and The Scarlet Pimpernel, all three of which pose a problem. If the "Family" is of characters "mutated by ionization" caused by the falling of a meteorite in 1795, how could two seventeenth century adventurers (Kane and Blood), presumably deceased several decades before the impact, be affected? Likewise, Sir Percy Blakeney was already an adult and had been rescuing French aristocrats for over two years before the meteorite fell.
Are these inclusions (a) in error, (b) another example of fancruft padding of the list, or (c) did Farmer offer an explanation of how these characters possibly could have been affected?
My reading of the article stopped dead at that point because I could not rationalize how those three could be included. It makes no sense without an explanation. Canonblack (talk) 14:10, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

As you may know I postulated years ago Hagbard Celine's membership in the Family based on information to the intro to Vol.'s 2 and 3 of the 1975 Illuminatus! Trilogy. An extended explanation is on my old wikidot here:
http://fnord.wikidot.com/hagbard-celine
The closest I got to an admission to this that I got when I was researching the Illuminatus! comic was Bob Shea's comment when asked of "Now what do you think?"
As there is a TV series of the Trilogy in the works, it's a good time to revisit this.
As this well founded theory is based on my original research and in an article written by me I'm limited in what I can do by Wikipedia's procedures
I've already put a note on the Hagbard Celine talk page about Hagbard being Doc Savage's half brother.
Anyway, if anyone wants to approach this, because I can't, it would be awesome.
