Birthplace

First of multiple sections -P64

We say both Flintstone, Georgia (without linking) and Taylor County, Georgia. Is there a Flintstone in Taylor County?

The only Flintstone, Georgia, with a page here is in Walker County, Georgia. That is outside Chattanooga, Tennessee, a location that superficially fits well.

Noted and agreed. Although by deductive reasoning it is likely that the birthplace is the Flintstone of Walker County and not of Taylor County (the Flintstone of Walker County is adjacent to Chattanooga, Tennessee - a later place of residency for the family), I believe it best for now to remove the Taylor County reference and simply state the birthplace as Flintstone, Georgia until a more specific reference is established as to the correct county identity. Two of the external links also refer only to Flintstone, Georgia without stipulating a county. Newwhist (talk) 14:34, 25 May 2014 (UTC)

This article reference cites the place of birth for AHM as "Flintstone, GA, Crutchfield farm". See "Selected Stories and Essays / AHM residences.' A search on 'Crutchfield, Flintstone' results in a hit on a Crutchfield entity in Walker County, providing support for the tentaive conclusion that the birthplace is in Walker County and not Taylor County. Is this OR? Is it reasonable evidence to at least remove Taylor County? As an inclusionist, I support replacing Taylor County with Walker County. Comments?

Hoyle, card games

Multiple new sections -P64

• "With Ely Culbertson and Geoffrey Mott-Smith, Morehead wrote the book Hoyle: The New Encyclopedia of Games, with Official Rules in 1950." --quoting section 3, Albert Hodges Morehead#Bridge

Evidently this was Culbertson as publisher, or simply as a name analogous to Hoyle, homage/marketing. See one bookseller's Culbertson's Hoyle (1950). We should learn whether the contents of that one were identical to some other Hoyle by Morehead & Mott-Smith.

Neither WorldCat nor Library of Congress mentions Culbertson in relation to any Hoyles by Morehead. Three "Hoyles" are among Morehead's top 20 works/titles in WorldCat libraries--that is, as those libraries catalog their holdings. WorldCat: Morehead, Albert H.
