We'll need disambiguation. Sir William Hope, 17th century author of fencing manuals, is arguably more notable [1]. dab (ᛏ) 11:47, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Disambiguation, indeed! I second that motion.

This article was linked from the Harry Price article. After reading the two articles, I concluded that this William Hope and the William Hope in the Price article are not the same person. The Hope mentioned in the Price article was exposed as a fraud by Price in the 1920s, based upon some of Hope's "spirit photography." I broke the link between the two articles. I hope I wasn't in error. If anyone happens to know that these two articles refer to one in the same man (the dates and other circumstances involved make it, to my mind, unlikely but not impossible) please restore the link in the Price article and place something in this Hope article that mentions Hope's interest in the occult. —CKA3KA (Skazka) 00:14, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
