Talk:Zip the Pinhead

Article referencing
There doesn't seem to be a lot of sources for this article, and there seem to be many statements included which should really be referenced properly. I will take some time this weekend to go through and clean up the article, but in the meantime if people have source material I would appreciate it if they could add it.

Born in 1842 in NJ he probably was never a slave.69.122.93.13 (talk) 22:24, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Mathematics?
Born 1857, Died April 1926 (aged 83-85) - what kind of Mathematics is that? If one of the years is just an estimate, shouldn't that be mentioned? Ste ba (talk) 14:34, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Article Title
Shouldn't this article be under his real name, rather than the name under which he worked? Compare to Jack Earle and Jane Barnell for example. Camipco (talk) 01:16, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Van Emburgh's Circus?
Could the "Van Emburgh's Circus" mentioned in the article be the Van Amburgh Circus? Although most sources about Zip the Pinhead reference the former, it only seems to be mentioned in that context alone. On the other hand, the Van Amburgh Circus is mentioned in some Zip the Pinhead sources, and also in multiple sources not about Zip. -- The Anome (talk) 11:40, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
