A fact from Charles McEwen Hyde appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 10 May 2012 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
There seems to be some date issues on the page. It says that "on August 2, 1899, Hyde wrote a private letter to a Reverend H.B. Gage", yet, that "Hyde died April 13, 1899." How can he have written a letter some four months after his death?
Good catch. It appears to have been a typo on the death month, which, ironically was correct in the infobox. The date of Hyde's missive on Stevenson was correct. It's all been corrected and sourced now. Thank you for your quick eye on this one. — Maile (talk) 15:59, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
This may be a problem as well? It is written here as though RLS wrote this pamphlet in response to a letter written 9 years later.
"On August 2, 1899,[7]Hyde wrote a private letter to a Reverend H.B. Gage, regarding Father Damien of Molokai... Author Robert Louis Stevenson took umbrage in the 1890 published pamphlet Open Letter to Reverend Doctor Hyde of Honolulu from Robert Louis Stevenson." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.29.239.47 (talk) 23:06, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Corrected. Source says Hyde's letter was written in 1889. — Maile (talk) 23:57, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
