Concerns

This article could do a better job of distinguishing legend and invention from verifiable information. Hobomok was the subject of a novel, one of the earliest in American literature to have an Indian hero. Still, the novel should not be taken as a historical source. — ℜob C. alias ᴀʟᴀʀoʙ 12:16, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Attention

"Hobbamock actually played a much larger role in relations with the English than Squanto, although Squanto tends to get most of the attention in history books."

Were they characters in a Reality Show? This is really quite an "unencylopedic" statement. Not to mention it is unverifiable. I wonder why there are so many articles on Wikipedia trying to disprove allegation that are never really identified and documented in the first place. It all sounds like straining at gnats. Why not actually write about what he did?

By the way, the rating for this article must be a "gentleman's C." AnthroMimus (talk) 03:24, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Manitou

The "Manitou" section is silly and not related to the subject in any way shown in the section. His name may have been a psuedonym? What was he using it for, to write a mystery novel? AnthroMimus (talk) 22:12, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
