Earl Ellis did not write the Tentative Manual. He died in 1923. The Tentative Manual came out in 1935. Jmosman 13:20, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Weasel words

"Some allege that he was assassinated by the Imperial Japanese authorities for his outspoken criticism of Japanese expansionist tendencies; others point out that he seems to have suffered from alcoholism and could conceivably have died of cirrhosis of the liver or some other alcohol-related disease."

See WP:WEASEL. The references section contains books by only one author, so I wonder who is behind these claims. This may be speculation. A citation should be found, or the sentence removed. Omphaloscope talk 12:04, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with your concerns and will say that there is no evidence that the Japanese had anything to do with his death other than speculation that has arisen in the post war years. His alcoholism is a known thing throughout the Marine Corps (and I know it is documented somewhere) so I do not doubt it but I removed it until it has a source.
