Missing story[edit]

"Inspector Barraclough in The Pink Edge", only found in 1 list: https://search.worldcat.org/title/101-years'-entertainment-:-the-great-detective-stories-1841-1941/oclc/2539945. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:908:F13:7780:3C17:E372:37DF:546F (talk) 14:19, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Name[edit]

I stumbled across this page with no knowledge of the man. But I am confused: if his name is Ernest Bramah Smith, why is he referred to as Bramah rather than Smith? I ask for my own edification, but other readers of the article may wonder the same thing. Perhaps someone knowledgeable on the subject can clear this up. -Phoenixrod 22:12, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ernest Bramah was his pen name. Fumblebruschi 20:18, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, please[edit]

Ernest Bramah was an enigma – a man of contradictions and contrasts.

So am I. This article needs some serious objectivity. --Tysto (talk) 04:49, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I have to agree. I've just removed a sentence about differently-abled detectives who preceded Max Carrados because (a) it's not cited and (b) I'm pretty well-read in this area, and I would be hard-pressed to come up with any examples of what is averred. This article has bit POV problems and reads as though it's quoting from something -- the source, unfortunately, is never stated. Accounting4Taste:talk 03:29, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've added some weasel, citation, and peacock tags, and removed a line or two of obvious drivel, but there's lots more to do. Maybe the tags will get people moving on this. AshcroftIleum (talk) 06:45, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Improve biographical data[edit]

I was looking at his article in German Wikipedia, and the bio portion is far superior. I can't fix it right now, so if anyone else is interested, have at! WQUlrich (talk) 23:58, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You are right but they appear at odds over some things. The German version tells us he excelled at school, the English that he was at the bottom. Both are under referenced. Can you just take slabs out of one for the other? Or must you reword it? I'm new here.--Weasel tango (talk) 01:11, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

London handbook (1897/98) & London year book 1898[edit]

According to the letter in the Times re Hammersmith Bramah was also the editor of London handbook (1897/98) & London year book 1898, both published by Grosvenor Press, London, with which he was associated. This fact does not appear in Jisc library hub discover.--Johnsoniensis (talk) 03:15, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
