Talk:Jacob Bruce

Old talk
How the heck did his relatives wind up in Russia from Scotland, in that day and age? Sounds like an interesting tale.
 * Just like the Learmonts turned to Lermontovs and the Hamiltons - to Homutovs, even before Bruce's parents came to Russia. --Ghirlandajo 07:34, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

Link
The link from the word 'mage' leads to the 'Magic (paranormal)' article where the word 'mage' does not appear. The link from the words 'Black Magic' are redirected to the same 'Magic (paranormal)' article. How about a link to the 'Magus' article which seems to be more appropriate.

 * That article is about a group that practice Zoroastrianism, a Persian religion, which I doubt he followed. 12.220.47.145 02:53, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

WP:MILHIST Assessment
A bit longer, more detailed, and more well-written than a Stub. Plus, it has a picture. Needs some serious expansion, though, in order to move up to B-class. LordAmeth 09:27, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Jacob Bruce → James Daniel Bruce – Bruce's name is usually translated as James rather than Jacob. --Relisted. George Ho (talk) 20:18, 6 July 2015 (UTC) Zacwill16  ( talk ) 12:13, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Strong oppose - His name was Yakov (Jacob). Jacob Bruce is regularly used to refer to him by modern reliable sources.,,  —Мандичка YO 😜 07:34, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
 * It can be translated as either. James and Jacob are etymologically the same name. Zacwill16  ( talk ) 09:21, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
