The profile of Wyatt Earp could use a rewrite. Is one of our Westward Ho project members up for the challenge using primary and non-fiction sources? The bio presently covers nothing but the very earliest part of his life.

Dear Westward Ho, I would like to contribute to Wyatt Earp's profile. Is this all right?

Sincerely,

Russ Frizzell-893

Yes and thank you. Westward Ho prefers that census data grids not be placed in profile biographies. Those should be in the footnotes if used.

Does Calvin present any primary source evidence about the first wife claim?
This profile does need some work.
The biography will be much weaker if we did remove the census data. Also anyone can read that book, that's why I left this in the research notes. Earp's life was full of turmoil, now his biography is as well.
Russ, there's no objection to having the census data, however, the data grid does not belong in the biographical narrative. It belongs in the citation in Sources. Can you please move these there. Thanks.
Thank you. Your comments regarding the census data grids have helped me. I have placed the grids into some of my profiles in the biography and now will relocate them.
