Wrong Greathouse tortured

See article Daniel Greathouse in regards to Greathouse and his brothers Daniel and Jonathan —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.83.75.141 (talk) 20:27, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed

This entry is based entirely on the historical fiction written by Allan W. Eckert. It should be removed or replace with non-fiction accounts or sources.--TruthBastion (talk) 23:22, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Eckert's novels are good entertainment, but not appropriate source material for encyclopedia articles. —Kevin Myers 23:50, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the novel as the referenced source, but the article remains in need of clean up. 140.139.35.250 (talk) 20:51, 29 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have been away from Wiki for some time, but I see that this page is still a mess, with names and incidents lifted from Eckert's fictional work mixed in. (TruthBastion (talk) 15:43, 12 August 2014 (UTC))[reply]

The names "Taylaynee", "Molnah" and "Koonay" are among those taken from the historic fiction written by the late Allan W. Eckert. Any time they appear in a wiki page, it should be a dead giveaway that someone is using a fiction novel as a source for writing about historical events. (TruthBastion (talk) 02:24, 18 September 2014 (UTC))[reply]

@TruthBastion I suspect that you are correct. However, I've now come across the names Taylaynee and Koonay in multiple sources. It's entirely possible that Eckert invented those names and they've simply caught on in subsequent writings. It would be a good footnote if we could find something to prove that. Canute (talk) 20:31, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the sentence "At the time of the massacre, these groups were on a trading expedition to the Shawnee" from the end of the lede. 1) It is a confusing sentence; which "groups" are we talking about? 2) It had a citation needed tag on it since 2021. Canute (talk) 17:31, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Still derived from a fiction book.

It has been three more years and this entry is still derived from a fiction book. Should this not have been deleted by now? — Preceding unsigned comment added by TruthBastion (talk • contribs) 14:41, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
