Talk:Robert Jones (artilleryman)

Issues
This article is going to really need more content to meet quality standards, possibly propose deletion as he already has a paragraph about him in History of figure skating? Pastorma (talk) 02:39, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Just an aside
In clipping this contemporaneous newspaper article, I think I found the first documented fatal case of man flu. Bogger (talk) 21:39, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

Hounslow Heath shooting
As reported in Jan 1770 and corrected, a "Robert Jones Esq.", was aquitted on grounds of self defence of the shooting on John Tillier on Hounslow Heath. Same? Bogger (talk) 21:51, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * It could be, but I doubt it. If it were, I think that the story would've mentioned Captain Jones' military experience. This Jones also doesn't seem famous enough. Plus, I'd think that Norton and Hines would've mentioned this incident. It's interesting, though. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 22:52, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

Removed dubious tag
while I share the apprehension of the usage of the word, the sentence is correct and clear about what the source states. It is scholars job not ours to stop conflating abuse and sexual relationships. Until then all wikipedia can do is report what the consensus is.
