Talk:John William Heslop-Harrison

More information on him There is lot more information about his life found in "A rum affair", I am not sure of the rules of Wikipedia though so maybe someone could add them or find other sources.

New evidence?
The article claims that new evidence of H-H's fraud emerged in 2008. Of the 3 sources quoted for this, one is from 1999 and based solely on Sabbagh's 'Rum Affair' book, and the other 2 are nearly identical and arguably don't contain anything substantially new. They both report (based on further information from Sabbagh) that the Natural History Museum holds a dossier on H-H in which various botanists expressed doubts about his findings, on much the same grounds as those described in the 1999 book. It's additional evidence that H-H was regarded with suspicion, but not as decisive as the wording of the article suggests. 109.148.240.134 (talk) 17:59, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
