Talk:Great Diamond Hoax

Untitled
I am a living relative of "John Slack" and you are slightly mistaken. John Slack constructed caskets IN New Mexico and became an undertaker in New Mexico. Documents in my possesion (my great-great-great grandmother documented his events) dicate it so. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.109.206.254 (talk) 20:11, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Having the documents, you are in a position to make a genuine contribution to the historical record. Please contribute what you know.Plazak 17:16, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Money sum discrepancies
If they bought all of the diamonds for $35,000, how is it that only a few of them were valued at $150,000 by Tiffany? Is there any documentation of that Tiffany valuation or is it just heresay?Starhistory22 (talk) 09:42, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

Diamond hoax of 1872 → Great Diamond Hoax – This historical event has been referenced as a proper name, with uppercase "H". The year does not appear to be essential since this is the sole diamond hoax sufficiently notable to be the subject of a Wikipedia article. If consensus skews towards the short main header, Diamond Hoax or the main header that reflects the book title, The Great Diamond Hoax of 1872, I would also support either of those forms. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 05:37, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Support The 1872 date should be kept to show its place in history even though there are no other Great Diamond Hoaxes. The Great Diamond Hoax of 1872 is also the name used by the Smithsonian magazine article and website for this event.RockDoc485 (talk) 00:29, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
