Proposed deletion of James Willis Hopkins
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article James Willis Hopkins, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Very much suspect hoax, and damned if I didn't try to source this thing. I can't find anything on Google, but just reading this is makes no sense.  It's unlikely that a person born in Belfast in the eighteenth century would join the British army.  I doubt they recruited from Belfast for the French and Indian war but it seems unlikely.

Please use sources
Hello Washingblack. You might notice that several of your articles are being proposed for deletion. This is because your articles have no sources nor any way to verify the information in them. Please also note that creating false historical people and events will very likely get you banned from editing. Providing sources is the way to show that these are real. Thanks,  Flying Toaster  21:13, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Please also note that marking edits as minor should only be done for very minor things like spelling corrections. // roux   21:17, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
