Just the facts please
User Lhw1 has admitted adding information from the fictional novel, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford in regards to "Dorothy Evans." He wrote the following quote at this |discussion page on the film.
"I agree there should be a historical accuracy section. By the looks of it, this movie is the most historically accurate Jesse James movie to date. There is very little you can say to criticize the accuracy except for the little details. However, evaluating this would be difficult considering there is very little known about the supporting roles. There is no online source that says there ever was a "Dorothy Evans" per se, but Ron Hansen has done his fair share of historical research before writing this novel and I can say with certainty that there was a Dorothy Evans in Creede, 1892. Although the dialogue is fictionalized, the documented events in the movie are as accurate as they could be." Lhw1 (talk) 13:00, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
There is a possibility he did the same on this article. From this users contributions it is easy to see he is a big film fan and I had my suspicions that he has been adding fictional information from the novel to non-fictional articles. From the quote above I feel my suspicions are correct. I have tried several times to get a response from this user with no success. If someone has the time it would be a good idea to go through his contributions for this article and delete the fictional material. Jeff Smith (talk) 06:06, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
