Talk:George Hogg (adventurer)

Untitled
600 miles? Or 700 miles? It says both. Can someone who knows the answer fix this?

In the movie it claims to be 700 miles, and one would hope the movie researchers got that right? 60.230.45.208 (talk) 05:10, 9 March 2009 (UTC)--60.230.45.208 (talk) 05:10, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

'Life in China' section
There is a paragraph here that makes no sense. At least, it's poorly written and poorly referenced.

No movie has been mentioned at this point, only a book. I don't know who James McManus was, or what exactly "original author" means. The references [5], [6] and [7] do not even hyperlink to anything. It all reads like someone has just objected to the idea that Hogg saw atrocities by the Imperial Japanese Army and edited the Wikipedia page to say so, to put their point across.

That said, if there is a counter-narrative, and if the tales of Hogg are apocryphal, it should be covered. Can somebody please investigate and, if this is a direct quote from someone/something, find it and tidy up the section? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kieronshaw (talk • contribs) 00:25, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

ADDITION: I note that the same paragraph, verbatim, has been inserted into the Wiki page for the movie 'The Children of Huang Shi' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Children_of_Huang_Shi — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kieronshaw (talk • contribs) 00:30, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
