=[[Jonathan Sharpe]]=

Jonathan Sharpe gets no google hits related to this article. The article states that Sharpe is "cited" in a book by Margaret Cruikshank, entitled The Gay and Lesbian Liberation Movement. Margaret is real and so is the book, but the full text search engine provided by [http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0415906482/qid=1117925683/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/103-4891611-8779005?v=glance&s=books amazon.com] turns up no references to Sharpe in the work.

Also, a thorough search of edit histories leads me to believe that the author of this article, {{User|El beatle}}, is the same person who created the hoax article Charles Mason (Revolutionary), currently on VfD. The evidence lies in the contributions of an anon {{User|137.205.28.226}}, who both edited the Mason article and who added this to the Felching article, "Famous Felchers include Jonathan Sharpe." func (talk) 23:25, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
