There are a few POV problems in the article. I removed a couple examples ("popular writer" and "famous"). If he was popular and famous, we shouldn't have to say so. --Midnightdreary (talk) 18:20, 30 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
That very well may be. However, there are many people whose fame and popularity are not remembered today. Perhaps it would have been better to word it as "in his day." I guarantee you that the name of Richard Harding Davis is not invoked very often today and not that many people remember him. Hey, we've got people who don't know the name of the vice president! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.0.37.134 (talk) 19:14, 14 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

His age at death is listed as 52, though he was only 51 at his death. I did not want to fiddle with it on edit because I did not know exactly how to do so, basically because his birth date is also listed with his death date. I leave it to others, perhaps?Closedthursday (talk) 20:15, 9 December 2013 (UTC)Reply
