New category for the Horn Papers

Question

Hello,

There is a great page, https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Horn_Papers

which covers the Horn papers hoax. I'd like to request to create a Horn Papers category in Frauds and Fabrications so that myself and another cousin can tag the erroneous Horn family lineage and prevent it from being reattached to the three Horn brother's profiles (Christopher, John, and Hardman).

There are multiple wikitree profiles starting with [[Horn-2939|Jacob Horn (1721-1778)]] and [[Von_Reismiller-1|Dushea Vanetta (Von Reismiller) Horn (1714-1772)]] that came straight from the Horn papers hoax and are wholly unproven and likely fictitious. 

Having a category to tag them would be amazing. Thanks for your help!

Comments

The comma at the end of the link renders it non-functional.

Took out the comma and link is somehow still returning a 404 error.

Now corrected. By the way, when you Search WT Help for "find space page" or "how to find space page" you don't get an answer to the question which seems problematic.

---

I'll try to follow the process to create a new "Frauds &  Fabrications" subcategory for the forged Horn Papers...wish me luck!

OK, the new subcategory is here:  https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Horn_Papers_Fraud

Thanks, Alicia!

Thanks for the good work!

I noticed that the earliest of the fabricated ancestors present in WikiTree, Johan Adolphus Horn - https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Horn-5254 - was born 12 Jul 1598 in Göteborg, Göteborg och Bohus, Sverige. Now, Göteborg was founded in 1621 (the name first used for a settlement 1603, burnt down by the Danish in 1611). Anyway it didn't exist in 1598. The county Göteborgs och Bohus län wasn't named thusly until 1700. Bohuslän was a Danish province until 1658.

Should a non-existent person have a correct birth location?
