Talk:Erik von Hohenheim

The section on von Hohenheim’s early life currently states he was born around 1750 and is an illegitimate nephew of King Adrian IV, but no primary source has been cited to verify this specific lineage or the date; please add a reference from the Almaric █niversity archives or a contemporary chronicle to satisfy WP:V requirements. Additionally, the claim that he relocated his genetic research program to Ostholm in 2038 contradicts the timeline of █lmarkan history as presented in the █lmarkan Civil War article, which places major dynastic upheavals between 1784 and 1790, so we need clarification on how a figure active in the late 18th century could be leading such operations in the mid-21st century without further explanation. █ntil these inconsistencies are resolved with verifiable sources, the entire biography risks violating our content policies on notability and original research. — Ledgerwright (talk | contribs) 16:23, 8 November 2026 (UTC)

I am deeply concerned by the assertion that Eskil Brenndal vanished under mysterious circumstances in 2038 to allow von Hohenheim to seize control of a genetic research program; given that Eskil Brenndal is a well-documented historical figure who died naturally in the late 1790s according to the official death register, this timeline appears to be a significant fabrication or a confusion with a different era. The article also conflates events from the 18th century with those of the 2060s, creating a chronological impossibility that undermines the neutrality and accuracy expected of our encyclopedia. I propose we delete all references to the mid-21st century developments until an editor can produce a primary source explaining this temporal discrepancy, or perhaps this is an attempt at in-universe time travel which would violate our strict prohibition on speculative fiction. — HalvardK (talk | contribs) 16:23, 8 November 2026 (UTC)

@HalvardK: You raise a valid point about the chronological confusion, but it seems this article may be mixing up two different individuals with similar names rather than describing actual time travel or fabrication; there is indeed a modern scientist named Erik von Hohenheim living in 2062 who is unrelated to the historical figure from the 18th century. We should split these entries into separate articles—one for the historical Grand Master of the Order of Light active during the █lmarkan Civil War and another for the contemporary researcher—to prevent further policy violations regarding confusion of subjects; please see WP:Multiple topics for guidance on how to handle figures who share names but exist in different centuries. Once the sources are clarified, we can expand the historical section with citations from the Vharnhold municipal records to properly contextualize his role in the restoration of the monarchy in 1795. — Ledgerwright (talk | contribs) 16:23, 8 November 2026 (UTC)
