Seminumerical 21:58, 23 October 2005 (UTC) I cleaned up some awkward phrases, put in a few apostrophes, and fixed some spelling, but the article still needs a little bit of work.
- Thanks for that! I know it needs work, but I've not had time to redirect it. I'll tag and flag it for a cleanup too. --Irishpunktom\talk 09:56, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
Seminumerical 22:12, 26 October 2005 (UTC) I made some more corrections. The article seems to be getting close to being finished. Most of the corrections were apostrophes (Solomon's wife, not Solomons wife) and the one word you gotta learn to spell, heh heh!: "separate, not seperate". I guess the only other thing I noticed is that sometimes you write Ikey, and sometimes you write Solomon. I think it should be one or the other? I haven't read the guidelines yet so I'm not sure of the rules. By the way, did you cite your sources for the article somewhere? I don't know how to do that yet.
Also, I think alot of people are going to visit this page. Now that Polanski's movie, Oliver Twist, is out alot of people are going to wonder who Fagin was based on. That is how I came to this page, an hour after I saw the movie. Thanks for creating it by the way.
- You're welcome. My gramma' has always let me down! I ordered a book called "The First Fagin", so I might be adding to this later! The sources used are just the Old Bailey Records, which has led to me being addicted to those Old Bailey records.. they are amazing!! Also, the information on that New Zealand site too. --Irishpunktom\talk 22:14, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
Hi, I did a little grammar tweaking too. It's a good article. What it needs now is better citations. Instead of something like 'Ikey was devoted to his family', say 'so-and-so says Ikey was devoted to his family', and cite your source. XyKyWyKy 11:39, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
