Talk:Hannibal

This is not needed. The Atlantis sub-section in the Battle of Cannae can cover this. The naming of the hairy elephant will not justify this alone so all of it can go.

Further, the purpose of Hist. Ref. is precisely that. A thumbnail bio of OTL figure is all that is needed. Nattering on with irrelevancies to Turtledove's work is not. Creating a 2200+ character bio defeats the purpose. I have reduced this by 666 characters (suitably satanic I must say) by eliminating his post-Cannae bio. But as I say none of this is needed.

We first added OTL bio info to help stop hit-and-run edits by people changing Turtledove story correct AH back to OTL. Johnathan is continually trying to load up with OTL bumph plagiarized from Wikipedia to justify tenuous articles or sub-sections. This needs to stop. The purpose of this wiki is Turtledove's work not to duplicate Wikipedia. Anyone interested in more OTL info can go there. This for Turtledove fiction. ML4E (talk) 18:17, December 29, 2018 (UTC)
