Talk: William MacRae

Based on memory, I believe this William MacRae article should have been a "Hist. Ref." given his minor and indirect role in "The Last Reunion". ML4E (talk) 18:16, August 29, 2016 (UTC)

MacRae appears directly. The fact that it's an otherworldly version of him helps to define the fantasy part of the story.JonathanMarkoff (talk) 19:25, August 29, 2016 (UTC)

I also think that, since it's the ghost of MacRae rather than the man himself, calling it a historical reference becomes problematic. Turtle Fan (talk) 21:46, August 29, 2016 (UTC)

No more so than the Riverworld resurrectees.JonathanMarkoff (talk) 21:48, August 29, 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for challenging the grounds on which I was agreeing with you. Turtle Fan (talk) 21:55, August 29, 2016 (UTC)

Riverworld is a bodily resurrection with full memories and not ghostly manifestations so not relevant. This and Wade Hampton III seemed to be off stage but I won't insist on moving them. ML4E (talk)
