Talk:Timothy Brook

Linking to the article
Many articles mention or cite Timothy Brook. These may now be linked to Timothy Brook (historian). That article is still pretty basic and could do with improving and expanding.

"Timothy Brook" currently redirects to Timothy Brook (historian) (as does "Timothy James Brook"), but "Timothy Brook" may be needed in future as a disambiguation page.  Esowteric + Talk  15:07, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Place and date of birth
We don't as yet know where Timothy Brook was born. All we know (from CBC) is that he "grew up in" Toronto. It would be unsafe to assume that this means that he was born there. The Gale biography may hold these details, but it costs £9.99 for a HTML file.

What Gale does tell us from the title of the document alone, is that Brook was born in 1951. A couple of sites do give a day and month but these are unreliable and also give conflicting dates. All do, however, agree on 1951.  Esowteric + Talk  14:41, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
