The other James Potter[edit]

I placed this information here, since someone had inserted it into the article james and Lily Potter from the Harry Potter books. It has no relevance to that article, except for the name coincidence. It appears to be an historical character with possible noteability for an article, but I have no further information. Anyone? Sandpiper 13:08, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Special:Whatlinkshere/James Potter is quite amusing. —Chantessy 22:52, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's bad enough that we may want to move this article to James Potter (soldier) and make James Potter a redirect to James and Lily Potter. —Cuivi é nen 18:30, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I like Cuivienen's idea, or something like it. In the meantime, I have fixed some of the misdirected links for James Potter (Harry's dad, that is). I think I'll adopt this as something I will keep my eye on. Fieryrogue 21:42, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A year later, we're still getting links from Harry Potter articles. I support moving this page to James Potter (Pennsylvania), if someone wants to do it. —Kevin Myers 02:35, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The correct link from the Harry Potter articles is to James Potter (character), which redirects to another article listing many Harry Potter characters. Some energetic fan should make the needed corrections. --DThomsen8 (talk) 00:10, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"James Potter was of Scots descent"[edit]

Was he?

I've always thought that the term "Scotch-Irish/Scots-Irish" was problematic. Scots may have made up the majority of immigrants sent from Britain to Ireland, but the number of English immigrants was considerable. The surname Potter can be found all-over the British Isles, but its origins are among the English, and it's still found more commonly over there. various ancestry sites on the internet show the immigrant ancestor as coming from England. Who knows.Bombadil USA (talk) 12:38, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
