Removed Early Life Information

[edit]

Removed, once again, information about his birth on the Gold Coast and his life in Africa, since all of it is fiction. Nothing is known about the early life of Amos Fortune. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sedris (talkcontribs) 03:36, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I took the liberty of deleting the "Early Life" section, as all of the information was fictitious, having been created by Elizabeth Yates for her book. Nothing is known about his life in Africa before being brought to America.Prlambert76 (talk) 00:16, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Amos Fortune (citizen of Jaffrey)Amos Fortune (d. 1801) – Because, basically, "citizen of Jaffrey" is to my thinking altogether too specific in this instance. It isn't the worst possible way to specify someone, and if we had 20,000 articles on different "Amos Fortune"s out there it might make sense, but I really don't think that the association with Jaffrey, NH is so important that it has to be included in the title of the article.

  • But your examples all deal with people who share names with non-human entities. In this case, the conflict is with a fictional character, who could also be described as a person. It's a bit of a gray area, I admit. --BDD (talk) 04:49, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
