Publisher
Was Charles R. Forbes related to the publisher?

Tacoma postcard and caption
Removed from article:

Charles F. Cramer sentence
Removed from article: Forbes assistant in Washington D.C., Charles F. Cramer, who was allegedly also involved with Veteran Bureau scandals, committed suicide in 1923.

Prisoner Number sentence
The statement "Forbes was prisoner number 25021" does not seem an important fact to include in a biography. If it is relevant for some reason, that reason should be added. Otherwise, the statement should be removed.

Where is the money trail?
Where did all that War Insurance money go, considering that so few veterans got any payout. Where is the money trail in Forbes' corruption? The article needs an answer to that. I looked thru the references and didn't find a full accounting. A lot of veterans suffered by his actions. 2600:6C48:7006:200:D84D:5A80:173:901D (talk) 01:26, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

Date of Birth?
I recently edited the article on Dutch WP and I noticed a dicrepancy: on the picture in Commons of the alleged grave of Forbes it states 1877 as his date of birth. The article and Commons state 1878. Which date is the correct one. If it is 1878, is this a photograph of the grave of this Charles Forbes or of a namesake? Kind regards. Johanraymond (talk) 13:54, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
