Talk:Inspector Cramer

Edits to Cramer's article
I have modified the discussion of Cramer's attitude toward Wolfe, partly because I don't think it was accurate and partly because it was unattributed. I have also deleted the external reference in support of the statement that most Nero Wolfe fans do not accept Lionel T. Cramer as the character's full name -- a couple of postings to a Yahoo group do not constitute evidence of non-acceptance by most fans. I believe that the reference to Stout forgetting that he'd christened Cramer as Fergus comes from McAleer's bio, but I don't own that; perhaps someone who does can confirm and reference. I've added some material and references, and provided the exact quote regarding the black orchids. TurnerHodges 17:52, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Cramer's Forename
I'm uncomfortable with the statement that Goldsborough gave the name Lionel to Cramer. It needs a citation. The external reference to a Yahoo group, which I have deleted, pointed at some postings, one of which mentioned that the post's author had searched unsuccessfully for a reference to Lionel in the corpus. Again, that is insufficient evidence on which to base the claim that Goldsborough was responsible for the name. For the present, I've left the claim in place because I can't prove it isn't true.TurnerHodges 18:27, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
