[edit] Ophthalmology

For anyone interested:

Edmund_Landolt#Curiosity - found this linking to Doyle when researching to write the Landolt article.

[edit] His Biography

John Dickson Carr another excellent mystery writer wrote a great and very reliable biography of Conan Doyle. It should be mentioned in the article Jon Ascton (talk) 16:29, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Is there any evidence that he ever used his middle name as some sort of quasi-last-name in life? If not, what's with the "Conan Doyle" business? Worldwalker (talk) 07:47, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

For previous discussion, see Talk:Arthur Conan Doyle/Archive 1#Conan Doyle or Doyle? Deor (talk) 12:33, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

[edit] using Psychic News as a source

I would not recommend using issue 4037 of Psychic News as a trusted and solid source to reference Doyle's promulgation of Jesus' eighth precept.

[edit] Arthur Conan Doyle bibliography

Hey all,

I created a Arthur Conan Doyle bibliography page. Please add to it.

[edit] Jack the Ripper

It has been proven that Arthur was Jack the Ripper. Why is this not in the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.11.216.79 (talk) 12:12, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

No, it hasn't "been proven" (and hasn't even been suggested by any reliable source), and that's why it's not in the article. Deor (talk) 18:11, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
