Full name?[edit]

I don't think "ben" was his actual name. At least one of the external links gives it as "Benjamin" (which is quitemor likely, considering he was jewish). Is thereany way to find out his middle name? Circeus 20:12, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Benjamin Lewis, per the White House[1] and other sources. The article should probably be at Ben Salomon. --Dhartung | Talk 05:40, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image[edit]

Yeesh, another badly-munged image from the MoH fansite, and this one looks like he's coming out of hyperspace or possibly shining at us from heaven. Anyone want to remove that psychedelic background? --Dhartung | Talk 05:40, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

anti-semitism?[edit]

I looked for a citation for the anti-semitic claim but I couldn't find any...all of the combinations of 'ben salomon' or 'ben l. salomon' and 'anti-semitism' or 'anti-semitic' that are google indexed seem to be from this wikipedia page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by S.Buckly (talk • contribs) 21:44, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
