This little biographical article was started by User:Ngb. I have expanded it. It has a nice picture and an interesting topic and I wonder if it might be of enough appeal to warrant Feature Article status after some community polishing. thanks for suggestions alteripse 00:39, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
- It looks like there are lots of relevant things that aren't wikilinks, like Barbary pirates and North Africa, and that's just the lead. You should find out what sources where used and cite them. The duel that cost his his career probably should be described in a bit more detail--nixie 00:47, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
- He is not in any categories either--nixie 00:50, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
I added some more links. I added another sentence about the duel, but basically no more is recorded and anything else would be entirely imaginary. I have no idea what categories he would belong in and will be grateful if the ardent categorizers among us would attach him to the appropriate ones. alteripse 04:43, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
- I'm going to do a bit more research, as this subject is interesting (I almost feel like adding "if true"), because this sounds exactly like the incidents encoded in Book II of Gullivers Travels, where Gulliver, now a dwarf, is sent to the queen as a "lusus naturae" and attempts to move beyond his imposed unimportance by militarism and is disgraced. This fellow would have been Swift's model, no doubt. Fascinating. Geogre 11:47, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
