[edit] Name

I stumbled across this page with no knowledge of the man. But I am confused: if his name is Ernest Bramah Smith, why is he referred to as Bramah rather than Smith? I ask for my own edification, but other readers of the article may wonder the same thing. Perhaps someone knowledgeable on the subject can clear this up. -Phoenixrod 22:12, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Ernest Bramah was his pen name. Fumblebruschi 20:18, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Oh, please

Ernest Bramah was an enigma – a man of contradictions and contrasts.

So am I. This article needs some serious objectivity. --Tysto (talk) 04:49, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I have to agree. I've just removed a sentence about differently-abled detectives who preceded Max Carrados because (a) it's not cited and (b) I'm pretty well-read in this area, and I would be hard-pressed to come up with any examples of what is averred. This article has bit POV problems and reads as though it's quoting from something -- the source, unfortunately, is never stated. Accounting4Taste:talk 03:29, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
I've added some weasel, citation, and peacock tags, and removed a line or two of obvious drivel, but there's lots more to do. Maybe the tags will get people moving on this. AshcroftIleum (talk) 06:45, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
